...and of change

Today alone, 3 different people have asked me if I moved to my new role because of Ian. Something along the lines of having more time with him.

To begin with, the new role doesn't guarantee more time than my previous one. It's like, if previously I was the housewife who looks after my 15 children, I now have to learn how to repair a car or design a new house for the kids. It's really a different scope of work that has its own challenges at a different level.

In the past few days I also came to a realization that in the end, change is good for everyone. My team gets to experience new leadership, I get my hands on different things. If I had given them my all during 2010, then that would be all I could give and all they could benefit from me. Now for them and me, it's time to draw from someone else who has something different to offer.

So ultimately, I took the new role because I just felt in my bones that the season is due for a change. I have lived, breathed, and enjoyed it. And I'm really thankful that at the right time, an opportunity that felt right came along and all the pieces fit in nicely for everyone.
