Life is good

So much has happened since the last time I blogged....2011 was such a busy and transitional year. Amidst completing my practicum while obtaining my Masters degree in Public Health, I was laid off from my job. On the positive side this allowed me to focus on my last class and my practicum, while I networked hoping to get a position as a Health Educator. Well, I graduated May 2011, but it wasn't until November 2011 before I was hired as a part time (5-10 hours a week). In the meantime, my past supervisor hired me back and I was able to work both jobs. A month later I met a wonderful man, whom I am now married to.

2012 turned out to be even better. February my part time position turned into full time and I was on my way to my new career as a health educator. Then in June the love of my life and I were married.
My new life began and I moved to a new town. Although I enjoyed my job, had great co-workers and a wonderful job, the long distant driving was wearing on me. Fast forward to July 2014, I was offered a position just 5 minutes from home and I am now working in the community wear I live. It also allows me to help with the local women's and teen conferences.

I believe everything happens for a reason. Prior to going back for my Masters degree, I was planning on moving from the area and getting discouraged. If I would have moved, I never would have met my wonderful husband. If I had not got laid off I would have never applied for the new jobs. If I did not take the part time position, I never would have obtained my experiences as a health educator, that lead to a position closer to home.

Now I feel that I am getting settled into my new life and career, I want to get back to blogging.....

I am still looking for more window treatments for the master bedroom, but there are more garage sales and flea markets out there waiting for me.....Happy Hunting everyone...

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.

We all have talents. Some are veiled and some are in the open. I have several friends that helped me get through the first few days after Jonny's accident. Lynne helped with the logistics of getting the memorial organized, and driving me to see my son Brandon to tell him the tragic news. Crystal gathered the pictures and the stories of Jonny with me, his brother, his family, and his friends to decorate the display board. Peggy and Ruth were able to comfort me, with their empathetic abilities, having similar losses. My sister and Mom, comforting me and only wishing the plane from Florida brought them sooner. My friend Debbie, whose comforting words, caring and the ability to know what else I needed, such as bringing a wonderful stew, to nourish us and keep my strength up. The list goes on and on. The talents and kindness continues....all of these people were put into my life at different times and different areas. I know that God put them into my life for a reason...I am forever gra
