My life is changing

As some of you may have noticed I haven't been on this site for about a month. . . wow time files! Thing is, in early April I decided that instead of looking for another job like the last one I had, I needed to make a change. That change has taken me on a completely different path and I've been consumed (in an absolutely great way) with managing my changes.

What are these changes? Well, the first is that we are in the process of purchasing our first home. The closing is scheduled for May 29th and we expect to move in sometime during the summer. We do have some work to do to make it ours, but the bones of the house are great! The whole home buying process has been so much fun for me. I love to look at homes, I love to decorate and I love to update. I'm now wondering why my career change hadn't come sooner. Anyway, the second change is I'm now a licensed real estate agent. It took me a week to complete my real estate license course required by the state of Massachusetts and two weeks after that I successfully passed the licensing exam! I am now a Sales Representative at Exit First Choice Professional, Inc. in Framingham, MA and I couldn't be more excited. The only drawback is my yarn work has had to take a backseat to all the efforts I have to put into building my own business.

Although I do plan on picking up my needles, hooks and yarn again once I'm rolling. . . I can't make any promises as to when that will be. However, if you'd like to hear how I'm doing you can visit me at my new website Sedie Sells or the new blog I'll be starting to support my real estate efforts (info coming soon). I'm thrilled to be moving in this new empowering direction and I'd love to share the opportunity with you. Please contact me if you think helping people find their new homes sounds like something you'd like to do with your days.

The flexibility I've been able to find is priceless!! The support I've found at Exit is unmatched and the perfect foundation to build a successful career upon.

May your life be a spring of new possibilities every day!

Sometimes, It's personal.

It's been an interesting few days to say the least. Starting on Wednesday night when we, as a family attended a holiday party for on of the schools my husband works for. We had a fantastic time with a magician, caricature artist and a "build-a-bear" style vendor. All paid for by the school, and all lots of fun for the kids. The food was wonderful as well. But, the highlight of the evening came when it was time to "boogie" on the dancefloor. My boy loves bands and he was the first one out there. However, upon reaching the dance floor, he promptly ran into a young lady who wouldn't let him go. . . literally. This is not just a proud momma talking, I have video to prove it.

On Thursday, I spent a the bulk of my day working on this blog. Updating it, moving things around and just tweaking along. I don't often get the opportunity so I took it, and am I glad I did. Thursday was a rainy cold day. The temps never rose above freezing and the rain never stopped. . . so by Thursday night, when the temps began to fall, and it was still raining we were ripe for some mayhem. Nature delivered and we were covered in ice.

It was beautiful, especially when the light hit just right, but it was not good for "business as usual". We awoke to a dark house, no heat, no stove, no computer etc. Many would have had a meltdown early in the day, but we went most of the day sitting in front of a fire. Me with my project, my hubby with his student papers and my son with his superhero action figures. When the sun began to go down at about 4pm, that's when we decided we needed to do something in order to be able to function for the evening. . . so we packed up books, shower goods, etc. and headed to my brother's place for food, heat and showers!

My fireside project was crochet. I spent the day working on a project I thought I'd never be able to finish before Christmas, but am now confident I can. There is always a bright side.

We spent both Friday evening and Saturday evening at my brother's house, but on Saturday night, when we came home ready to build a fire for the night, we found the power had returned! What a relief since we'll be hitting the road on Thursday morning and there is lots to be done before then.

In my tradition, here are a few Treasuries that I was priviledged to be a part of last week.
