It's the freakin weekend!

You'll probably see this post again. Today is Friday. One more week and I move on to my next venture. I'm excited to be doing marketing and sales for UpClose. I think it will be a good fit. Like I have said, I'm appreciative of the opportunity that I have had but I'm looking forward to new things. I have so many appointments set for next week. All I know is that I'm in a very good place.

I had a good morning. I spent it with church friends. I learned a few things.

1. CCCC - Cool, Calm, Collective & Christian.
2. No one can ruin my day.
3. Give 10 compliments a day.

How's that? We'll see how I do.

Thought for the day: Start the day with a grateful heart.

one week

It's been a week since I posted. I have every good intention of posting every day but things come up. Did I mention that I feel this great sense of relief? I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off of me. I understand it. I'm proud of the work that I did at the University. I'm proud of the impact of the money that I raised. I'm happy to be moving on for now.

I have had great discussions with people in the past week. I will miss my donors but I have heard from several that they feel like our relationship has surpassed my work and that they want to keep in touch. I'm glad. I feel the same way. :)

The girls and I are going to Vegas at the end of June. I'm so darn excited. All my girls in Vegas. We'll have so much fun. Can't wait!

Not much else for now. I'll be back sooner next time.

Have a wonderful day!

Thursday

Lost my post. Don't have anything else today.

Night Night!

Continuing Countdown

It's been a busy time. It's really been a good week. I'm feeling very relieved and looking forward to my new job. :)

I'm in the process of shredding documents and deleting files. It's amazing how much crap I saved. I'm not sure I needed it all but time passes so quickly at work and sometimes you just put stuff in a binder with a plan to shred it and then you forget. I'm feeling very organized.

As I tell people I'm leaving and what I'm going to be doing, most are supportive. Everyone internally totally gets it. External folks don't get it as much but when I mention spending more time with my family, they really do get it. Did I say I feel relieved?

Peter and I go over work stuff at night. I have a lot to learn but I love learning new things so I'm really excited about this. Also, I'm looking forward to the marketing part of the job. I really miss is.

Thought for the day: Life is all about taking risks. If you never take risks, then you'll never know what you're capable of.

Have a blessed one!

T minus 13

Hi! I can't believe it's only Tuesday. Work was uneventful today. I told a few more people that I was leaving my job. Most all understand and are happy for me. I'm getting so excited. I'm trying to wrap things up but its always a challenge to stay somewhere while you are finishing up. Bestie (a co-worker who helps me out so much) said that he went home last night and he was sad. It made me sad. You know that you go through your days, weeks, and months and you don't know that maybe you have an impact on someone. I always say that I won't be far away. I do have terrific co-workers.

Thought for the day: I'm gonna make the rest of my life, the best of my life.

Love!

Sunday

Tomorrow I have to face my colleagues and tell them that I'm leaving. I'm not crazy about being the center of attention so I'm not going to like this part of it but I'm ready. I'm glad to have a new blog to commit to. I'm looking forward to start this new chapter in my life. There are so many things I want to take time to do and I'm looking forward to the opportunity to do them.

I am committed to not taking on any more than starting my new job and enjoying golf this summer. No extra committee stuff at this point. I have plenty to keep me busy. I'm just going to enjoy.

On this happy Sunday, we started out at church where I gave thanks for my family and my friends. Go out and make it a great one!

Thought for today: The best kind of people are the ones that come into your life, and make you see the sun where you once saw clouds. The people that believe in you so much, you start to believe in you too. The people who love you, for simply being you. The once in a lifetime kind of people.

Love!

The first day after...

I gave my notice yesterday at my job. It's been coming on for awhile. It's a little scary and a lot exciting. I'm grateful for the opportunity in front of me and thankful that I'm going to be able to slow down and recharge for a bit. I have appreciated the opportunity to work at a great university with some really great people. As my blog mentions, it's time for a change. A Cool Change. I can't wait to write more, take more pictures and help others be successful. I'm looking forward to the ride. :)

Thought for the day: It's amazing how far you can go when someone believes in you.

Go out and make it a great day!
