I haven’t been very prolific lately…
Sorry guys… I know I should practice what I preach to my clients — and when it comes to blogging, that means having at least somewhat of a posting schedule that people can rely on. Frequency and decent content is everything, after all.
I’ve been completely overwhelmed with everything going on (see the previous post for some of the things I’m so very thankful for), and these past two weeks feels like a farewell tour of sorts. It hasn’t left me a lot of time to check in here.
But, that’s all about to change. I promise! I’m actually going to schedule in time with my blog at least three times a week, after I’ve moved to Calgary. It’s my only way to update all my friends that are back in Vancouver with all my adventures, and tribulations!
One of my blog readers dropped me an email the other day asking about how I could have the faith to move, and the courage to know I’m going to be okay when I get there, despite everything in my world changing.
I guess, the easy answer is… Because if I don’t take any risk, the rewards don’t come, either. And, I love the rewards that come when I follow my passion, and my dreams. For me, the risk is not taking that leap of faith and finding out what happens! I’d be losing out on some fantastic opportunities for growth, and for life experiences, after all… and that’s not a risk I’m willing to take. I’m going with what I know… And what I know is that I love Barry, my career and our money will always be available if we work for it as a team, and my home is where Barry and I share, no matter where that may be.
And, that’s enough deep thought for today…
Next up, something fun for a change! Check back tomorrow! (And, hey, maybe we might have some good news about our place? Check in and find out… Want to see our MLS listing? Click here!)

Good luck. I moved from Toronto to Calgary on a pure whim (1 week from “gee, I think I’ll move out west” to being on a plane). Turned out I hated Calgary and moved home, but the experience was still incredible. Just taking a huge chance, followed by a few years of taking silly chances because you only live once.
In fact, I have to thank you for reminding me of that. I’ve been feeling in a rut since moving back to Toronto. Your post has just inspired me to kick myself in the rear and get back into the risk-taking way of being.
Side note: It’s very odd to see somebody I follow (you), retweet somebody I randomly met a few years ago lined up outside an EB Games the day the Nintendo DI was released (@gotkube). I love small world moments.

This post really struck a cord with me. I understand what it is like to take a leap of faith having quit my job lasy year and deciding to travel with my husband for a uear. It still brings me stress from time to time.
That year of travel is coming to and end soon. Who knows what the future will bring, but I’m thankful for the experiences I’ve had.
I’m sure you will find lots of great opportunities in Calgary once the load on your plate lightens. All this change will be less scary with someone special to share it with. Best of luck to you.
I’ve had more leap-of-faith moments in my life than I care to admit. From getting married, to deciding to have kids, to dropping everything and moving far away to dropping everything and doing a career 180, I empathize with you right down to the feeling in the pit of your stomach just before you pull the trigger and and jump.
But here’s the thing: It’s how we live full and meaningful lives. Because risk is the price we pay for never wondering what might have been. Folks with character get that. You always have, and it’s a privilege to watch you move through this process. We’re lucky that you’re sharing it with us.
