Here\u2019s the thing. When you step up, step out, and try, you never really know how it\u2019s going to turn out.<\/p>\n

Truth is, we\u2019ve been struggling for a while. We\u2019re not making enough money, our ideas continue to fall flat, and the long term outlook doesn\u2019t suggest that continuing to push through is the answer.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been trying to get this beast (whatever that<\/em> is) up in the air for long enough. We\u2019ve run out of runway. We\u2019re going home.<\/p>\n

Yes, it feels like failure. Like we didn\u2019t try hard enough, or push far enough, or simply do<\/em> enough. Like we\u2019re giving up.<\/p>\n

Yes, it hurts. A lot. Giving up on a dream is terribly painful; in my heart, in my head, in my gut.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s for the best. We\u2019re not happy; the goal has always been to be happy so moving toward that on an altered path is better than continuing to push along a path that\u2019s not working.<\/p>\n

Yes, we\u2019re excited. The future always holds such possibility; we still don\u2019t really know what it will look like for us but, as always, we\u2019re excited to see what it holds and how we can shape it for ourselves.<\/p>\n

We do know a couple of things.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re looking at Vancouver or Toronto as our next new home. Each has tremendous pull for us. I adore<\/em> Vancouver and have long dreamed of living there; Toronto holds some of our dearest friends and connections abound. We\u2019ll be happy in either place.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the job that will decide. Jason is looking for work in either city; first to the post wins! Here\u2019s where you can help!<\/b> Jason is looking for work as a Senior IT Business Analyst. He has experience in health care and transportation with skills in business transformation and change management. It\u2019s a mouthful, I know, but if you know of a position, or a company, or a contact that you can let us know about I would definitely owe you a beer in return. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll continue trying to build my new business<\/a>. I think it\u2019s the first thing I\u2019ve started that really has legs. I\u2019m excited to see where I can take it and what it will look like a year from now. If only it had come to me a little earlier, a little farther from the end of the runway. We can\u2019t think like that though; looking back does no good, we can only look forward.<\/p>\n

And so, here we go, taking another Giant Step in this journey of ours. Wish us luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
