I was reminded by a dear friend that I hadn’t kept up on my
blogging, so here I am! So sorry yall it has been so long! It has been a whirlwind of a summer already
and to think it is coming to an end is CRAZY!
I hope this finds everyone well and enjoying the summer sun and having
fun!
Personal, Professional, Spiritual
A lot has happened already in these couple months I have
been dormant but I will highlight my best summer moments so far…
Fourth of July: It is
always a pleasure to be able to spend such a wonderful tradition with my
family. We came to the conclusion that
this was our fifth season going to the Stockton Ports game as a family and
spending the day by the pool. Mom has
now adopted it as her holiday (Like Christmas Day for the in-laws)
I was lucky enough to take a couple vacation days from work
and go home for a week and half to relax (or at least try) and spend quality
time with family and friends! If there
is one thing I have learned, it is no matter how old you get, or far from home
you are, there is always a place for you when you return. It is so reassuring to know I have that security.
Back to the South: Last week I had the pleasure to travel to
my Southern roots, Memphis of course, to visit friends and have my last summer
hoorah before getting in the swing of sports starting at work. WHAT A GREAT TIME I HAD! It was so awesome to
go and not have a schedule but to relax and spend time with some quality
friends I have made for a lifetime. Time
by the pool, hitting Beale Street, Water Park and the pleasure to spend time
with my favorite Memphis family after their first day of school was such a
treat. This is another place I call home
and always feel welcome with open arms when I return. Thank you to all those who made my trip SUPER
SPECIAL!
BIG title in the WEST…
Well folks, it is official, I know I announced going
fulltime with the Big West, but know I am title official. I am pleased to announce that I am now the
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF NEW MEDIA AND MARKETING!
While I will be working a lot in social media and launching our first
Big West blog, I will be also continuing work in communications, game operations
for the basketball tournament and possible traveling for the Tour.
I am very excited to help in continuing the success of the
Big West but also anxious to learn new things and be a part of making it BIGGER
AND BETTER! Thank you everyone for your prayers and support, it is crazy to
think I have a big girl job now! No more skipping from one to the other!
Never Ending Presence...
One thing I have learned is that God never stops working in
your life. I continue to struggle in
some areas of my personal life but in every moment when I feel like I am alone
or cant overcome the obstacle that lies before me, he shows himself in a mighty
way to confirm his great love and support for me! Whether I like to admit it or not, I have
become a workaholic at the age of 24… not ideal, but in this economy you have
to hit the ground running to get where you want to go! I hope to take this next year to focus on
getting connected in ways I have never imagined. Stepping out of my comfort zone is going to
be hard but what is life without a little bit of risk, right!?!
Remember that no matter what you may be going through in
life, there are always things to be grateful for. Chasing the dreams that we want is a PRESENT
MOMENT activity. There is no tomorrow, or later, or one day. TODAY IS ONE DAY!
TODAY IS LATER!
Love ~Me
