When One Door Closes - Another Opens

When one door closes another opens and I can't wait to see what is in store for me :) When One Door Closes - Another Opens

Today brings the end of a business partnership for me and while it was my choice, I am feeling a bit melancholy. I know that I have made the best decision for myself based on my values and philosophy and yet I am saying goodbye to a dream.

So, today I let myself feel a bit sorry for myself for all the hard work I put into the business and the money I am leaving on the table and I treated myself to a wonderful healing Reiki session, a pedicure and a little shopping.

Tonight my hubby is taking me to dinner with some friends for a bit of good cheer. He has been wonderfully supportive!

Ever notice how problems just suck the energy from you? I am glad I can now put all this behind me so that my mind can be sharp and my energy focused on all the right things.

Who's driving your bus? Who's on your bus? And who should you get off your bus?

Tomorrow will be a new day and my moment of allowed sulking will be done. I will spend some time thinking about my adjusted plans, tweak my vision board to reflect the new path and get myself back on track!

Today I closed a door - Tomorrow I am walking through another.

Christine, this sounds an awful like a post I wrote a few months ago. I went through the same feeling and same sadness before bucking up and crossing the next threshold. You'll feel much better tomorrow. Whatever propelled you to make the change is as valid today as it was yesterday. Wishing you luck with the next chapter.

Looking Forward! A positive and focused mind is key to taking full advantage of those doors that do open themselves to you.

In my own life a door opened last night that may take me into a new industry. I will always work real estate, but I am an entrepreneur. I get truly excited at the idea of new business opportunities.

Looking Forward,

Christine, of course I don't know the details, but I've also gone through changes that have taken me from one company to another. There's always an adjustment to be made...I miss my former co-workers...and while that doors is closed or maybe left slightly ajar another has opened.

Sister, this too shall pass. I think to say POSITIVE no matter what. I also look at the changes as growth opportunities. I urge for you to do the same and I know you're doing it.

Having someone at home who will support you can make all the difference in the world. I don't think I would be where I am today if it wasn't for my wonderful wife!

Christine: Wow ! Sounds like some heavy stuff going on here. If you need someone to bounce stuff off of... someone who knows the real estate business, but who also would be a very safe person to talk to... someone who would NOT leak anything that was said... my shoulders are very strong, and I am an excellent listener... and "mentor."

Gee... I'm a mentor from Mentor. <smile> Call or email if I can be of ANY help to you. You will be in my thoughts. Gentle Huggs... Take Care...
