In January I wrote a blog post about change and the opportunity of new beginnings. Since then I have spent a great deal of time writing, contemplating the future of my career path, and searching for the best opportunity for me to pursue. It has been a period of study and refocus for me professionally. While I have always enjoyed the opportunity for self reflection; uncertainty wears on me. The concept of not having solid plans for my future – most importantly my professional future – has always been unsettling to me.
But – for now – my time of uncertainty has come to an end. I have taken the next step and am in the midst of a new beginning. I am excited by the potential possibility of new projects and learning experiences. I am looking forward to new opportunities and gaining new experience. And I am thankful to have the stress of uncertainty removed for now.

What Comes Next
In November I dedicated a blog post to writing about remembering to be thankful. This time I want to talk about new beginnings. I have found that in both life and in business, new and unexpected opportunities emerge in the face of adversary, uncertainty, or frustration. Often the new changes and chances far exceed previous expectations and ideas.
Several years ago I left a fairly stable career to try something new. I quit my job and enrolled in graduate school to pursue my MBA. It was a new beginning. It was also the catalyst of a great deal of positive change in my life.
Today I am at the turning point of more change. Last spring I received news that there would be a great deal of changes at my company. In the months that have elapsed since then, doubt, obstacles, and uncertainty have circulated creating a shadowy picture of the future. Now, the clouds have lifted and it is time for me to begin something new.
At the end of 2009 my husband and I relocated to Washington DC. In this city there is a much broader range of opportunities than in other areas of the country at this time. The only question that remains is which path is right for me?
