On The Turn Of A Dime

Life will change. Just like that. It's so funny. I looked back at my blog in April and how excited and full of life I was upon beginning my hosting job with the JUICE. Wow. I wish I could say my enthusiasm and passion for the position lasted the entire seven months or so that I was a part of the program. Yes, "was". As in past tense. As of yesterday, I will no longer be a host with the JUICE. I was laid off. Or dismissed. Or whatever you want to call it. And I believe I felt more exhilaration, more excitement and more joy at the news of being 'let go' than I did when I was hired. It was freeing, as if a hundred pound weight had been lifted off my shoulders. My friends hear it in my voice, the tone they heard when they would speak with me five months ago. My usual enthusiasm and passion for life had been slowly squashed. But within 15 minutes, restored. As is with many things, the job was not all it cracked up to be. I LOVED the people I met through my work, I LOVED the stories I got to create. But the day to day struggles were no longer worth it.
But hey, I asked for it. I wanted to host a show and not necessarily in fitness. Be careful what you ask for . . . yup, I got it. And then some. The lesson in all of this? Be VERY specific when asking.
Needless to say, I'M BACK!!!! I am just as excited about moving on to the next chapter in my life as when I first began the job, if not more so. I don't even know where I might live in the next few months. Maybe back to L.A. Maybe up north to San Fran. New York? Who knows? I'm not quite sure what the future holds but I am giddy about the possibilities.
