Change

I haven't had a post in ages, because things have been super stressful. Those of you who follow the blog can remember this time last year and my lofty plan to not renew my lease and move to DC.

Well...that didn't work out.

Not only did it not work out, but I fell in love with my job (finally) and no matter what I applied for, I ended up not getting it.

The stress re-entered somewhere around November and I finally got to a point where I couldn't write anymore. Every post would have sounded exactly the same. Discouraged.

After really doing some praying, I realized that being here was a blessing and I needed to let go and enjoy my time.

I had one other super important interview that didn't result in anything and I had decided to just stay for another year.

Well...I'm officially going to stop getting in the way of my blessings. Because in two weeks everything changed.

Tuesday: LC spotted a position that he thought would be a good fit and sent me the link. The position had been posted for just a few hours, so I applied.

Wednesday: They called for a phone interview.

Thursday: They scheduled an in-person interview.

Tuesday: I went to the interview.

Thursday: They made an offer that I could not refuse.


So, after 5 years....My last day is in 3 weeks.

......

My first day is in 4 weeks...the same day that my lease expires.


I left DC (and LC) eight years ago and next month I will finally move back. I'm excited to start a new chapter of my professional and personal life, with a man that I love immensely. I've learned more than I thought I would in that time and I actually accomplished my dream of living in NYC.
Getting here has been a journey and I'm so excited for the support along the way.

I finally decided what I want to do about my blog and I think a refresh is in order. Stay Tuned for the next phase of Dani Colored Glasses.
