Well that's it. Done. And done. I've packed my bags. Literally. Twice. Today I finish a job I have been in for nine years. I was still at university when I started so to finish today is definitely a defining moment in my life. As you may have figured, I'm not one for change. But, I often picture 'where I want to be in life' and it's different to where I am now and I realise its not as easy as just 'waking up one day in that different life' - there is transition, there is change, there is jumping so far out of your comfort zone that you can't even see its boundary when you look back. So this is one of those moments, when I say "thanks for the memories" - the good and the bad, to take on board the lessons learnt -the easy and the hard way, and say - onwards and upwards. I'm ready, I'm strong, I want to take on the challenge and make the most of every opportunity that will come my way in a new role I have accepted elsewhere. BUT, before I do that I'm off to Melbourne (the second lot of 'packing bags' - see first sentence of my sermon for the little analogy I'm referring to...) for some serious "Kimberlee days" and to hang with some of my favourite people and oh, what the hell - do a spot of shopping!Catch you next week beautifuls xx

The end of an era! I can understand your trepidation my dear, but you have made the hardest step already ... deciding to make a change is hard and the easy bit will be now enjoying your new life. I know you are going to be an amazing success xx
In the meantime... lets shop up a storm! I have lists of places ready to go.... AMEX beware!
Wow! That's such a defining moment!
"I'm ready, I'm strong, I want to take on the challenge and make the most of every opportunity that will come my way"
That's the perfectly way of looking at it. You're going to do great!
Attitude is key to success and happiness in everything...it looks like you will do great in both areas! Enjoy your trip!
I wish you all the very best of success with your new venture. You will be huge!

The first step is the hardest - and you've already taken it! Congratulations Kimberlee, may the world open up to you in the ways that you have imagined - and in some that you haven't too. As sometimes the best experiences are those that are least expected...

As MOTH would say 'Ah no worries love, she'll be right!' And it will be Miss K. - bring it on I say!

Wow leaving a job after nine years is a major step! A hard one, but one I am sure you feel good about. Are you still staying in the same industry?
Have fun in Melbourne, and eat lots of good food for me. Man I miss the food!

what an exciting time for you. Embrace the change and love the newness of it all.
Just wanted to say good luck with everything. I can totally relate. A year ago I was in exactly the same place as you are now. Since then, I've moved abroad, started a new job, learned a new language etc...
and I'm loving it!
I hope your new adventures will make you feel the same!
