Am I Really Making Advances?

I revamped the blog a bit...I wanted to make it super unique, but I don't have the patience to play with my photos and resize them.  I had time to do that for my work blog, because they were paying me to...and I'm sure not paying myself!  So the background - Parliament.  No, I'm not English.  But Yes, I'm an anglophile.  I have this strong desire to travel, which often is the cause of tears when I realize I can't afford to travel like I want, so I picked Parliament as my background to remind me that one day I will get to travel and see the world, like I dream of doing.

So, the first time I tried to start this blog I was going to focus on finishing my Masters program and finding a job.  I failed at keeping it up to date :)  So I'll recap: I graduated in May, had a temp job that was gonna last from May - August, but quit in June to start my new job!  Long story short, I was hired as the new Marketing Director for a 501(c)(3) classical music festival & school in Greensboro, NC two weeks before their (I guess 'our' now) 49th season opened.  I jumped right in and I'll admit, was very overwhelmed at first.  Almost 5 months later and I'm still figuring out my role in the organization, but I'm loving every second of it.  Turns out I actually enjoy classical music!  I'll spare the droll details, but suffice it to say I was fortunate enough to get a job above my wildest expectations for a recent graduate with no nonprofit experience :)  I can't even complain about my salary because the experiences, connections and knowledge I'm gaining balance it out.

Nothing to do with the subject...
but it makes me happy!

But, am I really making "advances in my indecisiveness?"  Probably not, but we'll see :)  I think I'm making progress in my fight against coveting...if there is a Commandment that is my anthesis, it's Coveting.  I am constantly comparing myself to others, and though I can honestly say 90% of the time I'm absolutely happy, that 10% when the little bugger in the back of my head gets going, the coveting kicks in and I start looking at the things I "don't have" and forget all the great things I "do."  My revamped blog will follow my journey - god, that sounds so cheesy - of moving back out of my parents house and into my seventh apartment (eighth technically, not including dorms), of furthering my career in the arts nonprofit world, of networking and making new friends, and of watching my life and the lives of others around me change.  Note: Not necessarily bad changes, just changes!

Bored yet?  Probably...I kind of am.  I promise they'll pick up after this "Hello" blog :)
