Hi!! Happy Friday!
Holyyyyy life update! Not quite sure where to start since it has been so long. But I have some time and my mind is racing so I figured now would be a good time to put it out there. Well, the past 5 months in Italy was something that not enough words or pictures can do justice. The people, the places, the food, the simple culture and the memories are something that I will never forget. I am kicking myself now for not over posting and sharing - Yes, Lauren you were right. And the past few days little reminders have been popping up all over the city. Which brought me to this post and reflecting on life lately. When it was time to come home, it was hard to try and plan the next step and direction that I wanted to go. I wanted to do what was "right", what was "best" for me and make the most "responsible" decision. I can't say that I made the most "responsible" decision. But I can confidently say that it was the right one for me at this time in my life. Which makes it the best at the end of the day, right!? It's crazy that this time last year when I was saying all of this, I would have never thought sooo much would happen within the year in between. Mild travel interruption - but I am back! I won't ever have these days back and I felt like now was the time to do it. Once again my pockets are really empty, but my heart is going to explode... and I am back running wild around this big, beautiful, chaotic New York City. It's so easy to get complacent with life. Work, exercise, sleep and do it all over again thinking about how fast Friday will come. That was one thing I tried to focus on when I was working a 9-5. To stop waking up wishing for Friday, instead enjoy and make the most of every single day. It sounds silly because it's something you hear all the time but it can change your life. I am super routine oriented so it's easy for me to say no to happy hour or something that is not in my usual daily schedule throughout the week. With that being said, my goal ( + the 3 roomies too ) decided we were going to say yes to more. The little things like making an effort to catch up with friends once a week really makes a big difference. ** budget style - we have become good at finding the best happy hours in town** Alright, last but not least. After getting settled, I started temping at a consulting office just to have an income & fill my time. I was proactively looking for a job the whole time and started to get a little frustrated because I felt like I couldn't find the right opportunity. That Sunday I was giving myself a pep talk to stay positive, proactive & that the perfect fit for me would come my way. All things I knew, but it's easy to get impatient. I seriously said out loud to my roommates "alright, this is the week. I've been patient and something good is coming!!!" Hahaha! Next thing you know.. I had 3 phone interviews I was interested in and 2 in-person pop up. Power of the mind is REAL people. Everything works out exactly how it's supposed to, and I'll stand by that forever. To sum this rambling up - I landed an amazing job with a Brand Management Company. My first week is off to a great start and I am really excited about the future! I am obsessively grateful for the love, encouragement and beautiful people in my life who truly make me feel like I can conquer the world. My life would be nothing without you. Hope everyone is enjoying all the fall festivities! We may or may not be putting up our Christmas tree tonight. AHH! XO Heath
