Today marks my last day at an agency that has fulfilled my professional goals more than any business ever could. In the past 2.5 years, I have seriously grown so much through partnerships, goodwill, understanding of quality service, providing for children, making a difference, and impacting the community. My time at Big Brothers Big Sisters is truly one I will never forget. The mission and purpose of my work there aligned so perfectly with my heart, that I feel blessed to have had that connection. Many, I understand, never get that fulfillment.
However, I begin my next journey. A path I never envisioned. A dream that I never dreamt. This afternoon, I will walk away from my office being a mom to three wonderful children, a wife to a very successful man and a free-spirited woman who can enjoy the joys of life. All without stress, pressure, or expectation. This journey is not outlined for me. There is no pathway. And there will not be any measurement except for happiness. As we move our family around the world, to Shanghai, China, I couldn't be more anxious to see what the next two years hold.
I must thank my amazing support. From those who encourage me professionally, to my family and my favorite girlfriends, I will remember you all, keep a special place for you in my heart and cherish all that you have taught me to be. Everyday I wear this bracelet, a gift from two of my best side-kicks, and it helps me to look forward to this journey ahead.
Thank you to every who continues to stand beside us and cheer us on. We wouldn't be able to take this leap of faith without your support.
