Happy Monday blends!!! How are you?

How is it already Monday?! These weekends are just flying by in record speed!

I'm still flying high from awesome news from Thursday... I had meant to spill the beans Friday but I was consumed by the yard sale we had. Gosh... I swear, that is the last one I am participating in... they are so much work! and everyone wants everything for a dollar!

so.... my great news..... I got a job!!!!

I will be the Girls on the Run Coordinator for our local Y!!

Truth is, I've been a tad down for a while now regarding my work situation, and school. Granted I will already be applying for the program next Fall, I just feel like I've waited too long. That I should have done this sooner. I need to stop focusing on woulda, coulda shoulda, it is what it is.

Work wise, I've really been trying to not sell out. Take the easy course and go back into being an admin...really?! I hated it, but we all know money makes the world go round, but I held out. Trying to make something happen with my desire to help others and by a bit of luck and the right opportunity, I did something I'm still in awe about!

I pitched an adult running program to the Director of this particular council. It's not the one I coached this past Spring, they have unfortunately decided that it didn't meet the goals they had intended it for and won't be continuing it into the Fall HENCE why I pitched it to his new Council! I've known the Director since February, I coached a girls team so we weren't complete strangers to another but still, all this and the fact that they have doubled in size in a little over a year led to this very moment.

It never, ever hurts to ask. Remember that... the worst that can happen is they say no and your ego is a tad bruised but imagine the possibilities if they say yes!

As you can see... I'm still ecstatic with the great news.

What's your great news for this fine Monday morning?
