Priceless
I have been faced with a HUGE decision.
Happily I know the answer but being faced with this choice was still emotionally challenging over the past week.
I found out that the studio management position was posted at BMO. This was the next possible promotion that I was aiming for over the past 6+ years. The move into management, the increase in pay, 4 weeks vacation and the new challenge.
Last week when I went in for a visit, I was offered this position without even applying.
Well, I am happy to say that I have moved into management, where the payoff is priceless and there are definitely a lot of new challenges that I am faced with. They aren't in a building in downtown Toronto on Bay street like I had previously envisioned but rather with a new life.
I have been blessed with a beautiful little girl, a loving and supportive husband and I know the direction although the path is unclear...thus keeping it a fun and fresh challenge that you can't put a price tag on.
I must admit that the office, money and position was perfectly described as what I would have wanted pre-Hadley. However, now I am encouraged by the wonders of reaching for toes for the first time, eating for the first time, and soon to come, walking and talking for the first time. As well as many other wonders that I won't want to miss in the future.
I am glad for the offer and it makes me feel good to know that when I am ready, such an offer will be out there and ready to welcome me with open arms.
Still, this decision was HUGE with two REALLY good options.
However, with every look at my little girl, I know I am making the right decision.
