Well it's been a while since I last logged into my blog and frankly it was quite a mission, considering all the variations on passwords etc that we have to remember in our 'modern' lives.
Anyway I back....
And so much has changed since I last wrote.
Firstly, after much consideration about trying to accept that my career here in London is that of a PA and that although I will always be a conservationist in my heart, that it's time to engage fully in my 'new' career. The only way to prove to myself that I could do this work was to get another job. I'd become comfortable in my first PA role and was easily able to handle the challenges thrown at me. It was time to head for the deep end. So, albeit it rather hesitantly, I applied for some PA roles, got an interview (or in this case 3 at the same company) and landed myself a new PA position. Of all things within in a financial company, who would ever have thought! But I hope to aspire to be a PA or Executive Assistant one day for a Conservation organisation, academic faculty or Charity NGO perhaps.
Secondly, I'm making my house a home! I took the plunge and have started decorating my home in the way I always imagined but just hadn't had the confidence to do so. Thank you to my creative friend for looking at my ideas and giving me the encouragement on what I could do with my little home. Admittedly I should have bought a larger roller, painting with this little one is hard work! But fun never the less, the sense of achievement is addictive.
And thirdly, talking about a sense of achievement, although my running took a bit of a nose-dive during the last 2 months due to life (or sorting out a new job) getting in the way. I've hit the comeback road literally and figuratively with great determination. My run club coach has talked me into doing a 10K run in November and some how that seems like a massive mountain but deep down I know that it is all mind over matter. There is certainly no reason why I can't do it! So it's time for some personal training to kickstart the process and then I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things. Wish me luck!
So here's to blogging again...regularly!
