If the rest of the year is determined by the first few weeks of January, I think I'm in store for a pretty kick ass year!!
You already know about my new godson, who is perfect (if I do say so myself!) But things have gotten even better! Last week I was offered a position with a Caregivers America. I will be doing all their marketing, public relations and internal and external communications. I have a feeling this is going to be a really great opportunity.
I have to admit, I am a little nervous. I have never been in a position to make all the decisions on my way. Working for the state, I am used to having to run all my creative ideas through levels upon levels of approval. This is going to be a true exercise in trusting my instincts. I'm also a bit nervous because there are so many areas of communications I haven't dealt with yet. But, I'm hoping once I get going things will just come naturally. I have to keep reminding myself that I didn't know anything about highway safety before I started with the department of transportation; and look at all I've accomplished here in less than a year.
I'm at a huge advantage though, my future employers seems to be sincerely kind-hearted. I am sure if they are half as nice as they come across we will get along splendidly.
Since I've announced my departure from my current position earlier this week, I have received some negative feedback. Many people here believe I'm making a horrible decision "leaving these great state benefits". They assure me I'll "be sorry in 20 years." Maybe they are right. But, then again maybe they aren't. There's only one way to find out....
So excited & blessed for this new opportunity
