Gathering #32

Today I gave a presentation for staff meeting on Investing Personally. I have worked on this presentation for a couple of weeks and it has opened my mind and eyes to what I need to change in my life. Investing personally in a work place is something that take a life change. So in the interest of investing personally, I am wanting to make a few changes in my life. I need to have a better attitude about things. I can only control myself not those I work with or talk to. If someone chooses to not hire me or take what I say too personally there is nothing that I can do about it. I need to see the world as a spot of beauty and sun shine, even on rainy days there are good things. I need to come what may and love it. I think that when I start making these simple changes that things will get better.

Gathering #30

5 years ago today my life changed. Before May 14, 2005 I went about my life not knowing what I was missing out on. I loved my life and could not see anything wrong with it. Then on this day 5 years ago, my older brother got married. It was on that day that I realized that I had been missing a sister. So this post is for you Ash. To the women who became my sister 5 years ago today! I appreciate the way you include me in all your girl things. Shopping, crafts, and pedicures. I love the way you share your sisters with me. Thanks for everything you have done over the last 5 years.

Gathering #29

Your prayers have paid off. My life has changed dramatically over the last couple weeks. So here is a list of exciting news:

1. My Dad graduated this past weekend. I am so proud of him. He went back to school 3 years ago after not going to school for 30 plus years. He has worked hard and it was a great moment to sit with my family in the E-Center and watch him walk across the stage.
2. My older brother got an internship in Washington D.C. and they leave in a week. My older brother is one of the hardest working people that I know and he deserves to go far in life. I hope that this internship leads him to where he needs to go in life. I am hoping that I get to go see them this summer.
3. Since my brother got an internship, they are moving. I am going to miss talking to them at Sunday dinner. I am going to miss going places with my sister in law. I am going to miss my little sweet niece. All in all I am going to miss them.
4. As most of you have heard being a teacher is not the best job to be looking for right now. Lots of budget cuts, so as of today. I am out of a job come June 3.
5. Good news I go to Hawaii in 36 days!

I know that this list is not long but it is what is going on in my life!
