Always look on the bright side.

Today, I say farewell to a company that my family has loved my entire life! I am so proud to have worked where my dad built our livelihood.
on the brighter side of today... I look back knowing some people spend their entire life wishing they had a super cool job working with super creative people...something they are passionate about.... I was lucky enough to spend the last 2 1/2 years living that wish.
May our next venture only bring us something cooler:) and to all the friends I have made- truly couldn't be more blessed to have worked with the most talented people I've ever met.

here goes... just call me eminem from 8 mile.

I have a #strong #belief in taking a #chance when you want something bad enough. Put #yourself out there, push as hard as you can; say how you feel, mean what you say, and that #energy ... well,eventually someone is going to believe in the "yourself" that you believed in. What do you really have to lose by showing #passion and how bad you want it? That #one #shot will #pass you by if you don't go out on that limb at all....

Still on the hunt.....

WELL... it has been 2 months since the big lay off, and although our last day isn't physically till next week, I have been aggressively job hunting for the last two months. Literally the night I was laid off.... I was out there applying on job posts!
I almost feel entitled, like... a chick that wants a job this bad, and not sit on her ass and collect unemployment ( like many people have suggested) - I ought to find something fast! And not to mention ( and literally... trust me, I will not embarrass my job like that- not to mention the name) but I am coming from a VERY REPUTABLE spot ... job title, and company. I feel any other similar brand or competitor should want me.....
but instead... no body does really.

I don't get it.

It's kinda like in 9th grade, when I didn't make the cheerleading squad. Like... why the eff not? why wouldn't you pick me ?? I would be perfect for the role of a cheerleader, being that I had cheered the last 7 years of my life and choreographed most of the dance routines on national winning teams in which I belonged.... but no... there I was.. crying over the fact that I couldn't change the opinion of the LIST that was posted on the gym door that day. I just wasn't on it. I spent that year pretty bummed that I didn't make cheerleading, but I did however try out in 10 grade, and make it. I went on to then be the Varsity captain and ... let's just say, most of the girls who made it in 9th grade, (well all but 1) no longer belonged.

Moral of the story... aggressively, keeping on my game, on the hunt, fearless, (reminding myself of that daily) and pushing till someone /some company does want me. I may not be the first pick in May of 2013. but you can bet your bottom dollar by friend, I will be the first round draft pick going into 2014. (And you can quote me on that crap!)

#BOOM!

I'm pretty sure I failed at the 30 things you do before 30 thing

or was it at 30?
Either way, I turned 31 Friday so no turning back Now... maybe I'll revisit that list...,after all a new blog may be in the works, fit with social media and a clothing line. that's right folks- since I'm unemployed at the moment I should capitalize on it!! Cheers to my new venture!


#Forever31

I really am done complaining for today

our wedding video sneak preview is enough to melt your heart:) http://vimeo.com/m/64035131

timing couldn't be worse....

in one month I get married..., I know off since I rarely talk about it! (nothing much to complain about) we bought a house this year, we were planning a wedding, I got a raise..., and then bam - I got laid off... along with about 70 of us.( which makes me feel better I'm not going to lie) timing could not be worse for this lay off!!
devastating I tell you!! and proof- this bitch can't get a break!


couldn't be happier in my career and bam! over! - should I just continue crying till Sunday and start Monday fresh?

What goes up must come down....

I am a month out from getting married ( scary enough) and a beautiful Thursday afternoon has turned into a nightmare. Proof: bitch can't get a break.

As luck would have it... the job I adore, Spend my every waking second Loving, has decided to perform a massive restructure and with that me and most of my department are gone! ( on the flip side we have 2 months until the final day)

I spent all of Thursday crying... All of Friday trying to not cry and applying for jobs .... and here's to hoping Saturday will be that "boom ! wake up it's over" feeling so I can move the Eff on!

wasted talent

by re-reading several of my blogs tonight, I have found myself quite entertaining. Only a few followers but quality stories to tell.... what a shame!!! if your bored, take a moment to read:) See below... THIS ... is true life.....
