The anticipation is building. Yet, I have apprehension too. I have worked a job that as long as I show up and do what I am supposed to, follow the rules, I will always have a job, for 7.5 years. Now I am taking a leap into something that could potentially be gone in 10 years. It is a scary feeling.
So many people at work are shocked and surprised that I am leaving. Some are worried about the choice I am making, others are happy for me. Think that is awesome that I am spreading my wings and chosing me first.
I have been so sick the last two weeks that I haven't driven at all. I don't want to get any customers sick. That wouldn't do well. I am trying to rest up, get better, so I can hit the ground running come Saturday. I already plan on hitting the road early, then heading over to Pagan Pride for a while. Then back to ride a bit. Then head back for the ritual, possibly.
But I love the fact I have the ability to make that choice now...
Two more days at this company that has helped me grow into the person I am. Helped me live what life I have for myself, and help me get my health under control. I have no regrets having worked for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. I have nothing horrible to say. I just am chosing to work for myself, and not have to answer to anyone but me and the bill collectors.. LOL
Keep on Truckin',

Making a Leap of Faith
This is my last week at a Retail Company, before I become Self-Employed again. I have so many emotions on this, I don't know which way is up. My co-workers and friends are worried and send me articles on how one of the companies I plan on using as a driving platform is failing in another country, and or how we; drivers, could be obsolete in ten years because of autonomous cars. I have also been sick the better part of the last week and haven't been able to drive, I don't want to spread germs to my riders.
I am thrilled at the prospect of being my own boss. This is like a gift for me, right before my 46th birthday, which is in just about 3 weeks. Yes, it is scary. Yes it is a huge change. Anyone who knows me knows I don't do change well, but I took time, I did research and I can do this. Time, lots of time on the road, smart changes to where and how I ride, I can make the money I need and STILL get to finally have a life.
There is always something that is going to be changing in the world, new things coming. The associate that I have aligned with in the rideshare community is a huge support. I can find knowledge, support, advice, motivation, faith, strength, and see real people who have made this work. The founder is a man who left a 20 year career as a car salesman, to come do this full-time. He has a wife and kids, if he can do this, I can too. I have no other commitments but me.
People are always going to worry about change. The unknown. I know my friends and co-workers are just worried about me, but the need to have faith in me too. I am proud of myself. I have found something I want to do, and am willing to make some scary changes to pursue that. Which to me, means I am doing something wonderful for myself. I am growing.
Who knows, autonomous cars maybe the future. But my associates and just might be the investors/owners that run them. There are so many opportunities in life. One must decide when they are finally going to open the door, when it knocks. I am chosing now. I haven't been happy for a while in my current position, there isn't any chance of promotions in the near future, (I have been applying for the last 2 years, nothing but rejections), but I love driving. I find peace, a calm inside myself when I drive. Sometimes it is just for a few minutes, but it is there, and it is lovely.
This change is for me. A leap of faith. Here's to the future, here is to me.
This blog will be for my #uberadventures and #lyftlife happenings. Please follow along.
