I did not get a chance to post this yesterday with the hustle and bustle of the day like I thought I would.
This is going to be a little different kind of blog today. I thought I’d just go ahead and incorporate
my daily tips into this since I have a little extra time today on the plane. Hope you enjoy it! J
Monday, September 15, 2014 (Departure ICT to DEN)
Well, I’m at 36,500 ft. in the clouds flying to Portland, OR,
for a week-long conference and continued training. It’s hard to leave my little Angel at only 28
months old, but I need to be at this conference / training. Today’s
Tip: “'Never say Never!' It will come back to bite you." I swore
I’d be the Mother that never left her side; but that’s
simply not realistic if a) I plan to continue to give her “more” and b) if I
plan to remain in an executive position.
However I do feel so very fortunate to work for the company I do. As with any business they have
high-expectations of their staff, but it is such a blessing that they truly are
a family oriented company.
I continue with my career, not only because I love what I
do, but because I want to instill in my daughter what my parents instilled in
me – Landing at DEN |
- a heart for God & to live for Him
- a desire to do better than the day before
- good work ethics
- understanding that hard work pays off
- nothing in life is free
- true partnerships in marriages really do exist (as she sees her Daddy and I working so hard together to take care of her and give us a better life)
I am really excited about this conference and learning more
about this industry, meet some of the vendors I work with frequently, and learn
about additional opportunities/vendors/systems/etc. available to enhance our
business. For those that know me, know
that I spent over 11-years in the aviation industry, and my career has always
been in Human Resources so this has been a leap of faith and major transition
to go from HR to Operations. I have to
admit, at first I was skeptical that I could do it – but I have a good business
mind, and I can honestly admit that I’m starting to really appreciate IT
(Information Technology). It’s nice to be able to say “it’s invigorating to go
to work every day!”
To me it’s just so amazing to look out and to know that we are truly forgiven, regardless of our pasts, or what we’ve done, even the times we fail him, after we give Him our all, and surrender our hearts and soul to Him, we can be forgiven if we just simply ask Him, believe it in our hearts, and live it. (Romans 3:23 & 1 John 1:9)
2nd Leg of today’s travels:
Today’s Humor: Oh goodness, there are several I could
share with you today! I’ll just share the one I found to be the funniest….
“That moment when you realize you’re actually singing aloud with your earphones
in… When I realized I was not singing in just my head… I opened my eyes and
looked at the man next to me (he must have been able to tell by the loop on my
face that I was a little embarrassed) he said, “really…it wasn’t that loud.” I
said “My apologies… I just…” and he interrupted me and said, “really – it’s
okay, I was actually enjoying it.” I
just said a ‘thank you’ with an embarrassed smiled and went back to writing
this blog…. Yes, only me!! (LOL)
Well, it's time to get this week started. I'm really excited that I have this opportunity, but I also cannot wait to get home and see my family! Remember, whatever you're facing, whatever battle you're given, you have a God that is Much BIGGER! Trust in Him and let Him take care of it! Blessings,
