There is no keeper but the key (up there is a wall of possibilities), except of one who seizes possibilities (Patti Smith)

Nothing like a good build up is there? That one's from The Princess Bride in case you hadn't picked it.

Why the big build up? Coz I have BIG NEWS!

I resigned from my Principal position this week, without a safety net, so I'm experiencing a mixture of sadness (I really loved the people I worked with), guilt (leaving those great people behind), excitement (heading into the unknown), and anxiety (heading into the unknown). Those emotions have come in waves this week.

I've been at OneSchool Global for eight years, and this is my sixth year at the Hastings' campus. I'm conservative at heart, so resigning is a big step for me.  

That said, leaving a job without having secured a new position is something I've done three times before. Twice when contracts came to the end in the Middle East and thirdly returning from England early in 2019.

Each time, something happened, and I got back in the saddle. I am, like, so not ready to retire, so I'm super excited about what lies ahead.

I think a lot of that attitude comes from being a boomer. My Millennial children love to tease me and Jacky about being boomers, but we come from that post World War 2 generation that has a great can-do work ethic Gen X and Millennials often ignore. 

We grew up feeling there was a great new world out there to explore. The sixties and seventies were our years of possibility and expansion. There was revolution in the air, great mind expanding music, a world-is-your-oyster mindset and no limits, baby. 

Let me at 'em,  I'm not done yet!
