change in season

Today is the last day of Summer, and tomorrow Fall starts. This change of season is happening whether I'm ready for it, or not.

This week has been full, Full, FULL. Work has gotten really interesting and this week I officially said yes to become the one person who will be tracking the entire implementation of the strategic plan. Me. I'm taking on leadership roles, Big Responsibility, and it feels very comfortable. I know how to do this. I realize that I've been trying to suppress ambition for a long time now, years really, I had such a big ego blow in gradschool that I think I went into defense mode and stopped reaching. Well, not stopped entirely, but limited my reach, stopped dreaming BIG.

I'm dreaming Big again, and I'm taking on a lot of responsibility. I'm also trying to pay attention to not taking on too much, not overextending myself, making sure I'm taking care of me

The fact that all this is happening at this time of seasons change, at harvest time, at the time of year where we say, "look at how much we've grown, now it's time to feast" feels right. Things have ripened and it's time to eat!
