The near future

In the next couple of days I am going to board a plane to Estonia for a three month period. Pressing pause on my personal goals and dreams for 2014. The house I so carefully designed will not be build, the dedicated work programme to progress Vissie and my riding will take a back seat. Often we forget the cost that comes with success, the dedication and sacrifice required when a new door is opened to us.

I am as scared as I am excited about this opportunity. I truly feel as if my life is going to change completely in the next couple of months and I am not sure I am ready for it. Saying that, I have been wanting change in my career - MTS has been hard work, but I have become extremely bored in my role there. I feel as if I have outgrown my role and that I need space to grow, space that is simply not available in the current structure. My frustration has grown to a level of impatience with the mining industry and the particular intricacies and contradictions that knock on our doors on a daily basis. Not good for me and even less so for the business and our clients.

The previous time I boarded a plane to chase a dream I was so excited that I did not even think that my bold move would be the start of the end of my marriage. Ironic then that I have to share this trip with Phil in a strange country.

Oh my gosh - I just read this previously unpublished post......have been back for a week today already and the experience was everything and more than I could have imagined
