Work to live, not living to work

Life has been nutty lately... I've been feeling pulled into work way too much, but something nice has come out of it. Folks from my previous company have started a new one and asked me for help. In this economy it feels almost greedy to have the opportunity to have 2 jobs so I'm very grateful. I feel rewarded for my efforts and being regarded as a person with integrity, loyalty and technical aptitude. Everything that has happened to me, every choice I have made has brought me to this point in my life. I have been extremely fortunate that people have taken chances on me, mentored me and given me guidance. They have let me grow and show them what I can do, demonstrate that I care not only in words, but with action. Without them and the choice they made, who knows where I would have ended up!


My lesson to my girls is this: Work hard, treat others with respect and accept kindness from people. Whether it's karma or the golden rule, you can have a charmed life.
