How Change has happened

The decision to act on change was relatively simple. "I'm done with this" pretty much sums it up. The process that led up to that decision was not simple, nor quick. I remember asking a friend five years ago "how will I know when its time?". He said its a journey your body and mind take you on. A small thought that keeps occupying more and more of your thinking until there's almost nothing else you focus on other than the need for change. He was right. When your mind and body are all saying one thing, actually leaving something is pretty simple. You just need to teach yourself to hear it.
What started as a whisper quickly grew into a nag. By the time I took my first solo vacation with two great friends (Dave and Corey) to Nicaragua the nag was constant and without focus. Their friendship and the world they shared with me set me on the course I am now executing.

Ten more broadcasts of Global National. With no idea what kind of work I want to do next, only that I would prefer it be in Ottawa, and if need be Toronto. I'm taking this in stages, right now one day at a time. I've decided to countdown to my final broadcast my searching my memory for favourite moments and posting them on Twitter. Kevin_Newman.tv. #12 was shotgunning a beer on takeoff with camerman Kurt Brownridge. We discovered that Lears gear up right before take-off and then release the brakes giving you an astronaut-like G-force moment. If you start chugging at precisely that moment, the G's will throw the beer deeper into your throat and you can complete a can in a matter of seconds. Kurt won. But he also cheated by drinking some of it early! Moments like those I know I will miss most. Fun on the road with hard-working, hard-charging, and hard-partying colleagues.
