Good Things to Come

I must say that today was a good day. I have been feeling kinda blah lately but today really put a smile on my face. I have been sending out so many resumes it makes me sick. I ventured outside my box and answered some writing jobs as well. So far it paid off. I got offered a column on the Patch for Bellmore. It's a website that supplies local information and events. I pitched an idea and the editor, Jaime, went for it. I am so excited. I know its not a super fab magazine but it's my first paid writing gig. You have to start somewhere, right? My bi-weekly column (not sure the name of it yet) is going to have photographs taken by me (of course) of the area of Bellmore with some history or information about the subjects in the photos. I wanted to do something artistic so I can use my skills and help people view their surroundings in a new light. I hope to start next week!

I got back into yoga last week and honestly it has been lifting me to new heights. I love it. My body may be sore but I feel great and more centered. I was sort of losing it for awhile and needed a pick me up. Yoga has definitely helped me keep my head up and feel more confident. Not to mention, have a much stronger body (you should feel my biceps!) My recent decision to become vegetarian and eat more healthy has also really turned my life around. I feel happier and more peaceful.

I got a new project to work on today as well. The painter I work, Leonard Meiselman, with wants me to design a small catalogue of his work. Should be a simple project but I am excited to see the outcome. A second project came my way yesterday from Petite Picasso. A book order came in so I am heading to the office tomorrow to get it all scanned. Finally, some work!!

Today really showed me to be positive and not to let anything get me down. I am going to keep doing what I am doing and move forward with a smile. The resumes will keep on flowing and I am going to contact more newspapers and magazines for possible writing assignments. Wish me luck! I am crossing my fingers for good things to come.
