Speaking of Baby Steps

Many of my friends do not know that on November 5th I was laid off from my job at Sunwest Management. It was a very difficult situation for me as the position was one that I had desired for many years. As the Resident Relations Coordinator I was able to speak with the residents and family members and assist them with resolving their issues and concerns. During the year that I held the position I was able to close 750 calls from 2008 and keep the 2009 open calls to a minimum. The loss of this position and the loss of the friends I had made at Sunwest hit hard. With unemployment reaching 14% here in Oregon I felt I had a long haul to find another job. With the help and support of the Universe and my friends I am happy to say that tomorrow I start a new position that is going to be a great challenge. I will be able to use my accounting background and my new insurance coding skills. I should have my certification in insurance coding sometime in January 2010, which will complete just over a year of study. Baby Steps, definately; on a road of great expectations and challenges!

Baby Steps

I tend to be a very private person, so I am not sure how blogging is going to fit into my life at this time. Sounded like a good idea at the time and I did manage to get it all set up. So, this is my first blog entry, and I am not sure what to write about. I could write about my dog, Bindi, who is my best friend and confidant. Or, my daughter, who definitely keeps me young at heart. My husband, who is one of my biggest challenges in life ((smile)). One day I may be able to write about those who make up a large part of my day and time, but not yet. So for now, I will leave this as it is and give some consideration of what I want to write next.
