California Community Foundation, Here I Come!

After months of pulling my hair out but trying to stay calm, I finally landed a job offer with the California Community Foundation last Friday! WOOHOO!!! I cannot describe the amount of excitement I have over this job. It's not just a job. It's a position with one of the oldest and active philanthropic foundations in Los Angeles County. The president is also one of the most dynamic and down to earth woman of color I've had the privelege to speak with. One of the great perks is a window office on the 34th floor of the Union Bank building in Downtown LA. I have a beautiful view of the Music Center, City Hall, Chinatown, Echo Park and the surrounding area. I really didn't expect that. I was going to settle for a nice new cube. My start date as the new Communications Associate is October 2nd. I'll post pictures as soon as I get settled and my office is nicely decorated. From the looks of my director's desk and a few comments I received on Friday as I was getting the grand tour, it doesn't sound like I'll be bored once I start.

Thank you to The Most High for all my many blessings, especially for all my loved ones whose support allowed me to be much stronger than I thought I was throughout this entire period. New challenges and adventures are on the horizon. For now, I'm going to do everything I won't be able to do once I start working full time again.

AW YEAH!
