Back to Blogging

Needless to say, my attempt at moving to Chicago and becoming a blogger of my adventures has been an epic fail. I've continued to be a Facebooker, a newly found Tweeter with an occasional LinkedIn post but a blogger I am certainly not! My last post was written in January which seems like it was only a few days ago. In fact, it boggles my sassy little mind that it's July 8th! Where has the time gone I ask? When did the sunny Sacramento summer of 2011 become the windy and snowy winter of Chicago? When did the January blog become the one year anniversary of starting a new chapter? When did this California girl start to actually like the Midwest life? 


Well, let me tell you.....


Life happens and you know what? It happens in the blink of an eye. Somewhere between the morning coffee runs, the afternoon workouts, the evening reality shows and the countless meetings thrown in anywhere in between, life creeps up on you. This past year has been a roller coaster as I have grown and learned a lot by trial and error both personally and professionally. I've realized that as "life was happening" I needed to be better about taking a moment to pause and remember that I control my balance and what and who I make time for. 


This year which at times has felt like a fleeting moment, has actually been a lengthy reality. The precious seconds we so easily let slip by add up to the monumental accumulation we call our existence.  That's deep right? How often do we take those little moments for granted and neglect to enjoy what is around us. The people, the places and the things that are in our lives, regardless of distance, matter more than anything. So take a moment and enjoy what's happening. Savor the seconds ticking on the clock and remember to do what you're called to do. 


What will I do you may be asking? Well, I vow to enjoy the city more,  keep in touch with those who matter more and as the opening line of this post indicates, I vow to blog more :-)
