Well, I have graduated form the 12 week training program and I now live in Virginia.

Just kidding, although those are both facts, so much has happened. So yes, I did graduate from the program.  I only had a week to “get my life together” for my new job position in Virginia!! This was very exciting news, but also a very stressful week.

– I had to purchase a car (suv, and I wanted a certain price range and milage- this made it really hard)

– I had to pack all of my things

– I had to see family and friends

-and mentally prepare for my life to change.

So, I had to purchase a car and fortunately for me, I knew someone that works at a car dealership (Nalley BMW in Decatur, GA. (no, I don’t have a BMW) His name is Khiry Peterson and if ANYONE needs a new/used vehicle, he is truly the best!!). Then I had to deal with my credit union and find a reasonably priced insurance company.  They were my two biggest headaches.

I also had to find time to see my friends and some family members.  All that week, I couldn’t believe that I was actually moving. As I sat there one day packing my clothes, I really did become emotional. I really can not believe all of this is happening!

I am truly thankful that this opportunity has happened and its allowing me to grow and mature as an idividual.  Only God!!

]]> My trip to San Francisco http://www.frommetoher.com/san-fran/ Wed, 10 Sep 2014 11:19:22 +0000 http://www.frommetoher.com/?p=103 Don’t ever give up. If there are things that you want to do… go after them! I thought that if I didn’t pursue the things that I wanted to accomplish that I would miss out.  I thought that if I got this job, I would not accomplish my other goals, but look at God.  He had allowed everything to line up!

]]> We all need it… http://www.frommetoher.com/we-all-need-it/ Tue, 26 Aug 2014 12:22:38 +0000 http://www.frommetoher.com/?p=97 In my previous post, I share how training is going with my new job.  I’m really enjoying it and I’m learning a LOT!! Not just about work, but about myself and the other trainees.

So much has happened this far and we are only in week 5.  Something that I have had to learn is…encouragement!!!  I can not stress how much I have found that to be important.

During this training program, I am away from my family and my friends. I’ll just be honest here:

-This is a 12 week training program

-There are 10 trainees, 7 males, 3 females

-1 black person (ME) Lol!

With this being said, I have needed some encouragement  throughout this process. And who better else to give it, then myself?? I have never been the one to hunt for quotes, but I just may be the best in the business now. LOL, but seriously!  (Of course I do still spend time with God and have devotions)

In my hotel room, I have posted pictures of quotes that I want to live by.

 

The purpose of this blog post is to one, let you all know that I’m alive (lol) and second, please don’t depend on others to believe in you.  Encourage yourself to get to where you want to be, to do what you want and to be who you want.  I’m no expert, but I sure am moving in the right direction!!

I found quotes that apply to my life and posted them on the hotel wall.
