I took a year off from work to pursue projects that I'm passionate about and to shift my career in a direction that's more meaningful and balanced. The first steps on my journey are often joyful, sometimes scary, but life is too short not to take them. Here are my plans.

Career possibilities at New Dream: getting the ball rolling
I've mentioned previously that I'm interested in working for the Center for a New American Dream. Recently, my friend S., who knows someone there, passed the word along to them about my interest. I wasn't expecting to start working on this goal so soon, but I'm grateful to S. for mentioning it to them and getting the ball rolling - it's just the kick in the pants that I needed to prevent me from procrastinating. I followed up with a couple of emails to New Dream staffers, and now I have a phone appointment to talk with one of them next week about their current hiring situation!
CONGRATULATIONS! If I can offer any good words of reference or anything, just let me know...
