I always forget how much chaos moves like this cause... :-) And you raise an interesting point - the challenge of people being laid off in today's climate to stay positive when things are in such turmoil. I suspect that's something that you/I/we could blog about? It has definitely got me thinking. Wonder if anyone has done any research etc. Something to look into. Hope all's well with you and take care for now. Best Christine Hi Bob,

Having now moved, I suppose I had imagined I'd move here and have everything up and running immediately. Wrong!! Still, it's teaching me some realities of "location independent" living, and challenging me to learn new things, in particular about adapting my technology wherever I am. Hoping to talk to you soon. Best wishes Christine Hi Kate,

This week I’m definitely experiencing the reality of creating space in my life! Having now moved, I suppose I had imagined I’d move here and have everything up and running immediately. Wrong!!

Hoping to talk to you soon.

Best wishes

I completely agree with your point that everything, even so called negative things, have to happen for the good to happen too. I'm not familiar with Martha Beck - she sounds like someone to check out? Meantime, I think that, after a week of only occasional online access, I am about ready to rock and roll again. Looking forward to connecting more with you! Love, Christine Thanks, Jen, for your good wishes.

Interesting post, this one. In the States, as it seems elsewhere, loyalty is a thing of the past at least in the corporate world. I know of many people who after being let go, say it was the best thing that could've happened to them. It must be really difficult to take the positive approach when you are getting the axe but I think that probably comes with time. I've been pretty fortunate that I have only been laid off once (they completely shut down the division) but was able to land another job very quickly. Today, it may not be so easy with the economy in such disarray. I look forward to hearing how you are adjusting to your new home. Best, Bob Hi Christine,

We can even be grateful for things that seem really difficult as our response to situations is where we learn and grow. Good luck with your move, drop me a line sometime about where you're going to (I'm very curious!) Take care Kate Hi Christine

It sounds like you've had a great time in London and it sounds like you've left on a real positive note :) . it's an interesting topic that you address in this post. I know I sometimes have had the tendancy to see the past as negative. I think it's about bringing awareness and like you have said an attitude of gratitude to it. There is a great exercise Martha Beck describes in her book steering by starlight. Basically you turn your life story on it's head so that you see that for eg that if you hadn't got fired you never would have landed the job of your dreams. All the so called negative things in life have to happen for the good to happen too. Like your message in this post Christine, it leaves you grateful for all of it because it has made you who you are today. Thank you for a really insightful post, all the best for your move and another great chapter in your life. Love Jen x Thanks for sharing your journey Christine.
