Friday Favorites, September 9, 2011

September has been such an amazing month for me, and I am looking forward to the journey ahead.  I received an amazing email this evening from the owner of my new house, it appears that we came into each other's lives at the perfect time.  We share the same taste, and she has confidence in my taking care of the home she built. I found out last week that my closing date would be scheduled no later than September 30th, and after that the process took off.  My home inspection was completed within 24 hours, my appraisal will be complete tomorrow, and it appears that closing will be earlier than we thought. VERY EXCITING!!  

After my post last Friday, I was offered the transfer position I had requested with the company. I have 5 more work days (6 counting the OT I am taking advantage of on Saturday) in Auto Claim Central, a 5 day vacation, and then I begin my training in the Claims Retention Unit.  I am looking forward to a new challenge in my career, and continuing to expand on my claim knowledge!!  I met a few of my team members today, and my new department is directly behind the conference room which we use for our POWERtalk meetings (Kudos for no more hiking across the building in 6 inch heels)!!

I have been working tirelessly on my "Positive Strategies" workshop for Regional Council on October 22nd.  It has been a life changing experience for me.  I have literally gone back to my childhood in order to search deep inside myself for the things which make me happy & to find my purpose in life.  I have been making the changes which I feel are necessary to ensure my happiness each and every day!!  I cannot recommend Jon Gordon's books enough, the have turned my thought process around, and have contributed to my attitude each and every day.  Today I gave a condensed version of my speech to work out timing, touch points, and delivery. It went very well, and I have a wonderful support team in my club who I can rely on for feedback and encouragement!

What lies ahead for me, I don't know and I honestly do not care.  I am enjoying the mystery of the unknown, which is a learning process for someone who plans every aspect of my life.  Next week I am heading to Indianapolis for vacation, I am looking forward to quality time surrounded by my very best friends!!  When I return from vacation, it will be a brand new year!!

Friday Favorites, September 2, 2011

This weeks has been such an amazing week! The New Moon on Sunday brought peace & happiness into my life, and I feel as though there is not anything or anyone who can bring me down. I am gearing up for a new year, in 19 days, and I am looking forward to a clean slate in my life! I have acknowledged the mistakes which I have made in my past & I am putting them behind me. With the new moon has come new opportunities in my career, I will be setting out on a new journey in Bodily Injury claims in a few short weeks! I am very excited to take on a new challenge at this time! I am also working diligently on my workshop presentation for POWERtalk International Regional Conference on October 22, 2011, while I am also working on the book I am writing.  What I am looking forward to the most, is my vacation in a couple of weeks!! It is going to be a wonderful time to get away!!  I am also looking forward to moving in to my new home, I spent four hours there this evening learning EVERYTHING that I will need to know to be a remarkable homeowner!! =-}  My favorites are short & sweet this week, but they are big favorites!!
