Big Girl Decisions!

The last couple months have been filled with lots of thinking, planning, and praying for the wisdom to make well-thoughtout decisions...
Decision week arrived and DECISIONS were made!

After couple major changes, I had an opportunity (that people rarly get) to re-evalute my career path and make a clean start. I started tossing up a couple career paths and ended up deciding that the teaching route was one that I wanted to persue...because of my science background, my passion for sharing information, and the work schdule that it would allow me to have. Once that decision was made, I began agressivly interviewing at different schools in the Miami area for a couple different positions all in the SCIENCE area. I was very pleased to see how "qualified" the schools thought I was-which was encouraging, uplifting, and reaffirming that I was making the right move.

I am fortunate to say that those interveiws resulted is real job offers. After evaluating them...I decided to sign on to JOIN BELEN JESUIT PREPARATORY SCHOOL as their newest 7th Grade Life Science Teacher!

I also signed my new apartment lease, for an apartment near my parent's house with a walkable score of 92--"Walkers Paradise", in a familiar area which i'm happy to say we already have baby/toddler friends awaiting our move-in!

As if those decisions weren't big enough, this week I will also be deciding whether to comit to an elite running team that will be sponsored by FEAR NONE. Training starts today and if I decide to "run with it" it will be like committing to the life I used to know...practices, training, racing, performing, and pressure...Question is: Is there time to get back to an elite competitive level at this point in my life???
Honest answer: I'm not sure....however, I do know that it's hardly every the PERFECT TIME to do anything! Most of the time, things just fall into our lap at the most inopertune times, and thats we we have the chance to be too busy to taken them on...OR look them dead in the eye and say: BRING IT ON! (Did I just decide?!?!?, lol)

I'll leave you with some food for thought:
