Hush, Hush

So I have started yet another blog... but I'm keeping it hush hush for now due to the monumental flop my first blog was. Talk about needing dedication to keep up on this thing. I always had an excuse for why I couldn't do this... or why I couldn't be disciplined enough to sit down each day to finish it out. Guess I have finally matured enough to say "Enough Excuses" its time for Action.

Right, so speaking of inspirations... I had one for the day. I was interviewing some soon to be college graduates for possible full time positions. I remembered what it was like to be in their seats with idealism still first in my mind, the world at my fingertips with opportunities begging to be tapped, and that unlimited amount of energy and enthusiasm that comes with no responsibility. Do you remember those days? Then I remembered that it was only 2 years ago that I was in their seats. TWO years... how fast the time has gone.

Anyway, at the end of all the interviews all I could think about was 'how can I reacquaint myself with that attitude/zest in life?' How can I step out of the ole' lady working routine into the fresh, hip, young, energetic realm again. It can't be too hard, right? Well, I started thinking about it and haven't quite been able to figure out how to make the change while still maintaining the respect I have gained at work and the confidence I have in my abilities throughout life. I went from the shy, positive, desparately quiet girl into this force who is able to manage various personalities, command a room of individuals' attention, and gain the trust of many senior leaders.

Life sucks when there are too many responsibilities and complications. Its time to work towards that beach side hut where I can peddle off some hand made artifacts for a bare bones existence. Any takers to go with me on this journey? No... Well maybe you can vicariously do it by reading this. Assuming I stay on top of it.
