{New Opportunities}

March 4, 2013 Comments : 8

I truly can’t remember the last time I’ve been so stress free – I love this feeling. Life is all about learning, and I’ve sure done a lot of that over the past two years. I’ve gone from attending law school to taking on internships in the Marketing/PR industry to working as a Marketing Director for a specialty food company.

I often forget that I’m still ‘young’ and I have plenty of time to figure out where I belong in terms of my career path. Luckily, I do feel like marketing and communications is where I belong. At this point, I don’t see myself starting over from scratch like I did when I decided to leave law school. With that said, I’m getting ready to embark on a new opportunity…one that I’m feeling very optimistic about. I left my job of one and a half years on Friday, and I’ll be starting a new ‘career’ on Wednesday. It was time for me to move on – while I did learn much about marketing during my time with the company, I never felt as though I was truly valued. It was what I consider to be a ‘job’…I showed up every day and completed necessary tasks, but there was no passion. I’m looking forward to and hoping to make my new venture a ‘career’…a place where I truly feel part of a team and I feel a sense of pride in my work.

When you’re in college, you dream of graduating and getting a great first job that jump starts your career. That was my dream, too. I realized after several months that it wasn’t going to happen in the situation I was in, so I needed to make a change. To say its been a long time coming would be an understatement, but I’m so grateful to be able to start fresh with a new and promising opportunity. With this new opportunity, I see many great things in our future. Work isn’t my life, but happiness and success in the workplace definitely has an effect on other parts of life. I’m very optimistic about what’s to come!

With my new job comes training, so I get to travel to my new company’s corporate office in Maryland for three weeks to complete my training. I’m not looking forward to leaving my husband and puppy for three weeks, but I’m also really looking forward to learning new things and getting to know more about my new employer. Unfortunately, I’ll miss celebrating my birthday at home, but we’re going to celebrate this upcoming weekend before I leave! My amazing husband also bought me an iPad this past weekend…a combination of a birthday and a ‘Congratulations on the new job’ gift. So far, March is turning out to be a good month!

I mentioned in an earlier post how I had been feeling down and not myself lately, and that was due to my job situation. I can honestly say I feel a world of difference in just the short time since I accepted my new job opportunity! I’ve even been going back to the gym and taking Spin classes – which I haven’t done in over a year. Getting back into this type of routine reminds me of my college days…which really makes me happy. It’s so nice to feel ‘normal’ and I love having a routine! Better days are in my future, I can feel it. 🙂

      Thank you! That is so true…I learned that patience really is a virtue with job hunting! You'll find something great, too – your passion for PR really shows when you write about what you'd like to do! 🙂

Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful Last week to this week ➡️ We’re SO grateful for a quick recovery from pneumonia — having a sick child is scary enough, but to top it off with no space in our local hospitals’ PICU and being flown to Asheville, you can imagine we were beyond stressed last week 😩 So so grateful she’s back to normal and on International Women’s Day, it felt like a good time to celebrate Brynn 🥰 Thank you to all of our friends & family who reached out, lent a helping hand and kept us in your thoughts & prayers ❤️

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️
