Back on Track

The Summer of Sara (2.0) has started off with a bang!  It’ll be a year ago next month when my unemployment started.  Looking back, in the beginning, it was a time of excitement and nervousness.  I had no real plan, but felt happy and filled my time with fun and activities.  I wasn’t prepared to look for a job right away, because I only wanted to enjoy the moment and deal with the rest later.  Well, it’s later – a year later and I’m enjoying the moments again.  My personal life has come full-circle, and I continue to develop my talents and passion to find the right career path. 

Despite the “June gloom”, I won’t let a little cloud coverage stop me from enjoying the beach.  I’m taking full advantage of volleyball games, waterskiing and long walks.  I know this could all end with one phone call and an offer, so I don’t feel guilty while at play.  With the freelance reporting gig, I truly like the process of interviewing and writing. It has been fulfilling. I believe that this could actually develop into something larger than what it is now.  I am in control of what that could be, as I need to reach out and find other avenues for people to utilize my skills. 

I am almost finished with my second article for the SD Uptown News.  It’s another business profile – this one for a new, trendy restaurant.  Bonus points for some free, yummy food and a supportive dinner date.  I am a real lucky girl with a permanent smile on my face.  I am proud of myself for making positive changes in my life and attitude.  I was the only one who could get me there, and I still work at it everyday.  More fun times to come!
