They say good things come in 3′s and a few weeks ago, I was hoping that would ring true. Well, I hit 2/3! Hey! I can certainly live with that! Back when I wrote this (!!!) post, we also had a few other things brewing.
We were also looking at buying a house we really loved {which, no big deal, didn’t come through} but I was also in the throes of interviews for a new job.
drumroll
After 8 1/2 great years at Disney, I’ve accepted a fantastic new opportunity at Sony!
I.could.not.be.more.thrilled
{and ready}
For the better part of the last year, I’ve had my eyes open for something new, fresh and challenging – be it internal or external. I explored many opportunities, yet most didn’t feel as if they were truly the right fit or best next step.
Along the way, I received a ton of support and a piece of really great advice.
Make sure you are running to something, not from something.
Simple and succinct, this became a definitive point of evaluation and a mantra I now carry with me – as it relates to marriage, a new home, a new job–or any other life opportunity.
After I resigned last week, I made like Forest Gump and set out on one of the most liberating runs I’ve had in a long time — and came home sweaty and smiling to a popped bottle.

I’ve got one more week at the Mouse House — it’s been a tremendous ride. The people, the friends, the brands, the impossibles dreamed possible. There is a lot to love for my time at Disney, but I also love change.
so much “new” lies ahead
Marriage, New Job. What’s Next? {suggestions.welcome}
All I’m certain of is that I am running to this next phase of life.

Congrats and good luck! When I read mouse house on Twitter I thought of something else, didn’t know you worked for Disney.
SO AWESOME!!! Congrats to you!!!
thanks Jess! Hows the Chicago training going? How many miles on Sat?
Congrats!!! I love the idea of running TO something – everyone always jokes “what are you running from?” when it comes to being a runner, but I like this better!
Congrats! So exciting. I really love the post topic–such a truism. Good luck at Sony!
Congrats!!
