Living and Learning (Part I)

So much has happened since my last post, I really do not know where to start. I feel like I could write a lengthy book on my experiences and revelations that have occurred in the past month. I will try to get it all out as succinct as possible. The biggest thing that happened, event wise, was that this new job I was so excited about turned out not to be so great, in fact, I have chosen to move on already. I really liked the company, and it was my intent to try to create a position where I could educate consumers on healthy eating choices. However, I felt very repressed at the company and my job was not at all what I wanted to be doing...working in a kitchen, doing mundane work, surrounded by foods I refuse to consume, and under management that was not very supportive. I am not sure if my ultimate goal of creating a position where I could educate the public would have come about, but I know it would have taken a long time, and I did not feel like my voice was being heard. I chose to leave, rather abruptly, I feel slightly bad about giving only one week notice, but it seemed okay considering the circumstances. So what did I learn from this experience? some kitchen skills, to speak up for myself, to try my best to make things happen, to realize when I am not in a situation that is best for me, to respect and love myself, to stand up for myself, to take chances, to not be afraid of changes or the unknown, to find a way to do something with my life that I am passionate about...I really feel I am on that journey now!!
