My friend Alex sent me a card awhile ago and on the front it was a little girl and said "When life hands you lemons" and you open the card and the girl had put them in her bra! It made me laugh so hard - considering my surgery last month it really had me laughing! In my last post I mentioned how important friends and family are - it continues!
Last Thursday I ran out to my office and met with my boss to find out my job is being eliminated on Feb 1. I love my job, the people, being in Denver, working from home and traveling on Southwest quite a few times a month! One of the biggest things I learned from this company is how important life/work balance is!! As I start to put my resume together, network and think about the future I took a few minutes to look at pictures and show myself what makes my life the very best - it's the people in it that make each day special and continue to tell me something better is around the corner.
Here are a few of my favorites!

My mom gave me this card at Christmas - put a smile on my face right away - love the red boots, the sass and spunk that goes with the image! |
|
Chicago!!!! There is an energy around this city that compares to no other! I do miss my condo there!!! Apply for jobs there and keeping my options open. |
|
Wendy, Darin and I at the Phoenix Open last year! Sun, fun and hanging out with 2 of my favorite people!! |
|
A few of my Christmas gifts! The Cannes poster with Marilyn was something I wanted from the time we landed in France last May, The Sunshine Family was something I played with as a kid, One Good Deed a Day (need to keep that up) and a frame my mom made me from my Pinterest boards!! |
