So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Goodbye...

 

It's kind of funny. I have known that this moment was to come, but now as I write these words... I find myself filled with resistance. I guess this is the standard fear that comes with saying goodbye.

This will be the very last post of Miss Moon's Musings. It's been a fabulous six years, and I've been nothing but grateful for and continuously amazed by all the support you have given my rantings, ramblings and revelations!!!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you very much!!

Everything ends, but this farewell I assure you is bittersweet, because I do have some good news for you...


 

That's right... I am starting a new blog!!! You thought I would just leave and ride into the sunset?!? No way!!!

 AudreyCan.com is launching June 9, 2015 (If you remember, that date is very important to me.) and (I hope) it will be everything you loved about Miss Moon's Musings and so much more! I'm so excited to be sharing this new side of myself with you!!

In the meantime, between now and June 9th, feel free to keep in touch with me on Twitter, FaceBook, Instagram, and even Pinterest (I'm a Pinterest junkie... I admit it)!! 

And if you have any questions, comments and/or suggestions, please feel free to drop me a line! I'd love to hear from you!

Goodbye for now, and..

Miss Moon's Musings About: Job Searching

I very much wanted to step away from my hiatus to share an amazing lesson I've learned about job searching, and about patience. You all know I am a firm believer in sharing a good thing! ;)

I've been unemployed for over six months now, and have consistently looked for a new opportunity in that time. I have had interviews, and although I've had great conversations and the people I've met with seemed to like me, I haven't found a match just yet. In the past, I would take job loss as a sign that I need to look for something new: a job that will motivate and challenge me, and give me the opportunity to gain something I value tremendously... wisdom. So with a clear idea of what type of job I desire, I would start my journey.

Obviously anything worth obtaining doesn't always happen immediately, Intellectually, I know this... but when it takes too long I allowed my own fear of failure to stop me. I would panic, take "just any job": one that offers no fulfillment or security just for the sake of being employed. It never ends up well and a year or two later... I am back where I am today. Jobless and looking for an ideal situation.

No more of this. This time around... I'm sticking to my guns. I will not deviate from my plan. I know with all the certainty of a zealot that somewhere in NYC there is a company looking for someone with everything I have to offer. And in return, the company will give me the challenge and opportunity to grow I am looking for. It will be a great match.

I used to think that job searching was like a crap shoot. You roll the dice and hope to win. Now I am starting to see the experience as cultivation. Each application, each resume sent is a seed you plant. You nourish each seed with patience, optimism and with the knowledge that you deserve to receive the opportunity you desire. And in time, you will most certainly reach the harvest you have toiled for. I believe and have faith it will happen for me. And if it can happen for me, it can definitely happen for those of you like me who are on the same path! Keep trying!

Checking In...

Hey Everybody!

As I am sure you all know, Miss Moon's Musings has been on hiatus for the last several months. This is because I am presently without internet access in my house.

Last summer, the frequent rain caused leaking in our apartment, which resulted in two large gaping holes in our ceiling. Our living room ceiling wasn't the only fatality as our home computer (and the modem) was totally fried as well. The holes are still very present on the ceiling as I write these words... Seriously.

My family and I were hoping that we would move out by the end of last year, but I also received a giant middle finger from the Universe in the form of losing my job. After putting my health scare on a shelf for the sake of pitching in and being loyal to my former employer... they kicked me to the curb, along with countless others.

Fast Forward to March, I am still stuck in this apartment that shows no signs of being repaired any time soon, I am diligently searching for a great job, and most importantly I am working on myself. I believe that a lot of the hardships that have come is a sign that I need to focus on what I am doing to create struggle. I am committed to breaking some negative patterns in my life. I feel like this could be my last chance to start over... and I really don't want to screw it up. I am working on a major life overhaul, and despite missing the blog, I need to really put my focus on fixing this mess.

So Miss Moon's Musings will continue to be on hiatus for the time being. You can feel free to keep in touch with me on Instagram, Twitter, and of course, the Miss Moon's Musings FaceBook page, as I am always on Instagram and Twitter (Especially on "Scandal" night! lol) and have vowed to be more active on Facebook as well.

I really just wanted to check in and say that I'm alive and that Miss Moon's Musings is NOT dead!!!



Audrey,
