Bitter-Sweet Changes

In case you are one of the lucky ones still out of the loop on my newest life change, let me enlighten you.

No, I am NOT pregnant. So stop asking ;)

I am starting a new professional chapter in my life, rather. I am leaving the newspaper biz and am going to try my hand at marketing.

It was a decision I didn't make lightly. Being a journalist has been my dream since I was a high school freshman, but I do want to do something new and learn more about my skills as a professional. And I'd be lying if I didn't admit I'd like to see my earning potential increase.

I still get to work part time. It'll be a pretty flexible schedule. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to do and try something new.

But I'm still sad about leaving. I have some awesome friends here, but fortunately, thanks to social media and texting it makes staying in touch lots easier.

The whole ordeal is very bitter sweet and I am a little bit nervous about doing something new. But I really feel like I need a new challenge in my life.

The way this all happened was pretty "meant to be," so I am just going to go with the flow of my life and go where the winds of change take me.

I want to also add a big thank you to all of my loyal readers over the years. You all have been so great in supporting me in what can be - at times - a very stressful career.

I'll miss reporting, but hopefully I'll love my new job too.

On to new things! Let's do this.


Farewell, press photo and red streak in my hair! Times are a changin'!
