This winter has been a weird one-we never really had any blizzards, but just lingering snow and cold rain, enough that there is always some snow or at least slush on the ground. Most people grumble and complain about how they're "so over winter" and I cannot deny that we love the spring and even more the summer. But-there's something special about winter. The bare trees against the sunset (I marvel at this every evening driving home from work), the stillness and silence while the snow falls, the perfect excuse to indulge in hot cocoa. Even the harshness of the cold is enticing.
Ok, ok-I miss the sunshine, don't get me wrong. Both Chris and I live for the summer heat, but unlike most people we are enjoying the winter instead of just getting through it. Currently, Chris is still burying his head in books for graduate school, while staying very busy with work and continuing his intense gym routine. I have spent the last few months doing some serious soul searching. Asking myself the question, "am I doing what I love?" and found that what I am doing, although I have a great respect for the field of H.R., is not what I love. Once I came to this realization and once I said it out loud, I literally felt a weight lift off my shoulders and float away. I've always known what I love to do, what inspires me, what brings me fulfillment-events! Everything about them! This led me to reach out to any contacts I had in the biz! Amazingly through this effort I received the opportunity to work with True Event part time as an intern and finally it's like the stars have aligned.
So for most people, winter might be that time of year you wish would fly by, but for us, winter has been our season!
