Embracing Change

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I blogged. Life takes over sometimes. Lot's of change happening right now. I am leaving my current job with IBM after 8 years in a couple of days to take a new position as a Senior Copywriter with a cool digital marketing agency called Digitas. I am excited, as it is the kind of job I always wanted. I am still kind of in shock that I got it, so thanks again universe and various decision makers, I really appreciate the opportunity.

Also, the kids are changing schools and then Lily starts kindergarden in August. It is so crazy to me that she is getting so big. I hope Mirabel does well in the new daycare. Logistically, its just better for everyone and so we change.

Next thing I want to do is clear a space in the garage so I can get an Acetylene torch for soldering jewelry. I think its time. I think I am going to take the summer off from classes while I am getting my head around my new job which starts June 1st! Its going to be wierd going to an office again and being around people, as I have been working at home solo pretty much, talking to people "virtually" for 8 years almost with IBM! But maybe it is just time for me to get back out in the world.

And really the IBM job has been great especially through 2 pregnancies and 2 infant stages and I have learned so much there, and now its like everything I have learned has lead me to this awesome new job that let's me get back to what I really love which is writing, so I am excited! Plus its a huge boost to my career, the new gig, so I am looking forward to the new challenge. We shall see what happens!
