Changing Things Up

It's been quite some time since I posted last and so I thought I'd try it again...I kind-of get into it for awhile and then get distracted by life. Things have been good lately. In January I got a job writing for Around Canton magazine. It's been fun to write and see my articles (well one so far!) out in the community. Each year I've had "become a published writer" as a New Year's resolution. In 2006 I didn't have it on my list b/c I already had the job with AC!

I got in contact with a friend the other day who is truly living out her passion. She got her first big break a week ago and I am so proud of her! We met for coffee to chat and catch up and I told her that she was an inspiration to me. Seeing her live out her dream makes me want to strive harder to achieve mine!

Ridge Stone Church has been growing a ton and stepping up everywhere to improve even the smallest of areas. I run the cafe with a great group of ladies, but we definately have room to improve. I've been reading First Impressions by Mark L. Waltz and it's opened my eyes to see the area I lead and ways I can improve it. We had a training today by Judy Marshall from West Ridge Church and again, I saw more ways to take us to the next level. I'm excited to get to church tomorrow and start implementing some of the things I learned! This week I'm heading to a First Impressions conference and I know I'll learn even more...
