ten days is a LONG time in business...

i can't believe that it has been only 10 days since i decided to walk away from a certain person and her business - things really seem to have blossomed since then and i now have no less than 5 opportunities to consider:
a) have been asked to be part of a panel to deliver coaching to a government agency
b) a company who a colleague/friend of mine works for have asked for my details as they are mad busy
c) i have an interview at an RTO on Monday regarding delivering some training for them
d) a partner at a big consulting firm (who I met last year) emailed me today (some 6 weeks after I'd emailed him) and has asked me if I'm interested in being introduced to their 'people' team to assist with some big integration/transformation work
e) an old CFO colleague of mine who i caught up with on Friday might also have some consulting work that he could recommend me for
f) no wait, must be six things, as the same colleague from b) is also going to introduce me to a consulting firm that she does some work for

sooooo it would appear as though whatever 'hole' i thought i would need to fill by not pursuing work with Mandy et al, is no longer a hole....

sooo on other fronts how are things? well i had a lovely weekend in canberra with my parents - sat around drinking tea and playing 500 (a card game), had dinner with family friends, went for a walk both days, did a quick trip to Aldi - a lovely and very relaxing weekend...

i'm still experiencing some residual sadness - probably not helped by the fact that i am so busy and often fall into bed (so i'm tired, meaning less reserves to deal with stuff), and am leaving on my trip next week which is great but in another way sad, as i would have liked to have been going to nyc with ben (even though that never seemed a reality), i'm going to see my grandmother but my grandfather won't be there - for the first time in my life i'm going to northallerton (where they live) and he won't be there - not sure how that's going to go really...

so it's up and down! and will probably continue to be so for a little while, but this time next week i'll be madly rushing around making sure i have everything i need for the trip....

ok, bedtime now!

nite
