Golden Girl

I'm not the most religious person that you'll ever meet, but I do consider myself to be very spiritual. While you won't find me in church every Sunday, you will find me making choices in my everyday life that I hope will keep me on the right side of that chick Karma.

So far so good, as my grandmother likes to say, right now I'm feeling "blessed and highly favored by the Lord."

After putting in my time at my hometown paper for 2 years, I recently was offered and accepted a position with a larger publication in Northeast Georgia. I'm gearing up to start my second week and so far so good, I like my job, my co-workers are nice and things to see on the up and up. Although, I must say that I am a bit bitter to learn that I won't be getting paid until freaking Oct. 24...that's a long time to go without a pay check...but so far I haven't been forced to live off Ramen Noodles!

Meanwhile, Danielle- my bff since 93- and her family have oh so graciously provided me with lodging until I find a place, so it's good times - especially since I get to spend sooooo much time with my handsome, inquisitive and usually agreeable godsons Cam and Car.

Things seem to be on the up and up and that makes me very happy to say the least. A new city, a new job and a new chapter in my life just as I turned the big 2-5- what more can a girl ask for?

In the words of the oh so talented Jill Scott, I'm committed to "living my life like it's golden" so this is just the beginning I'm sure
