It's been a fascinating journey so far, and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. 

Back in the early years when I was deciding my college career, I chose Nutrition as my major.  With the very best intentions of "Saving the World from Calories!!!" when I graduated, the realities of life came crashing down when I didn't receive any acceptances into a graduate program.  (sure, I could have always reapplied, but I forged a different path.)

Over the years, I've had amazing experiences like being the operational manager for a consulting firm (until they closed, and I was the last one out the door), sitting literally 2 seats away from the CEO and CFO for a major publishing house, writing the playbook for the December 31/January 1 Y2K rollover, overseeing corporate real estate activities for more than 130 sites around the country, and then to being a commercial property manager. 

Yes, this is the modern world, so there have been some gaps in my resume;  we all know that there have been layoffs in the corporate world.  I've not been spared from those from time to time.  Instead of "unemployment", I refer to them as a "sabbatical".  Great opportunities to reflect, recharge, and redirect. 

And now, here I be on the cusp of my newest career.  Real estate sales and leasing.  Lots of new experiences to take in....lots of new things to learn.....and loving every second of it...and looking forward to every minute of it.
