This year has brought many unforseen changes in all aspects of my life. On January 1st, I could not have even imagined some of the following:
- Becoming the Executive Director of an organization that I've cherished since the day that I started as a volunteer intern in 2006.
- Finally parting ways with one of the biggest blessing and burdens in my professional career.
- A much needed vacation the islands during one of the most crucial turning points in my life.
- Internalizing the concept that I must be vocal and have the courage to demand what I want and be willing to accept the consequences of my actions.
I'm always seeking ways to work on self-improvement and build the micro-community around me. One of my goals was to start blogging personally and professionally. For the past year, I've been reading the blog and Twitter accounts of Rosetta Thurman, a non-professional in Washington D.C. Her blog is filled with a wealth of information about non-profit professionals and personal branding. It came at just the right time for me!
Again, Rosetta's blog has come to the rescue. I've been stuck in a rut with blogging since my new premier on July 4th and her 31 Days to A Brand New Blog Challege is just the kickstart that I need. Please support me in my new efforts to become a "real blogger"! Learn more about Rosetta Thurman and her blog challenge here.
In the meanwhile, follow my efforts on Twitter under the name @Mahoganione.
