Everyone that knows me has heard me say "I have the best job in the Mid-Ohio Valley". That is why it isn't going to be easy saying goodbye to my Chamber family next week.
The past year was a daily, hourly and at times minute-by-minute battle and I'm not sure anyone can go through something like that and not be changed. Every day I wake up and thank God for giving me another day to enjoy life. I appreciate and find beauty in all that surrounds me...it's hard to explain. But what isn't hard to explain is that I'm ready to really enjoy the gift of life that has been given to me. Maybe it's selfish, I don't know... but I am so very excited to begin a new chapter in this journey and spend some long-overdue quality time with my family.
On Friday, June 3rd I'll bid farewell to all my Chamber friends. I love each and everyone of you. Because of my job I have had the opportunity to work and become friends with some of the kindest, most inspiring and amazing business people. Thank goodness Marietta is a small town so I know I'll be seeing all of you at the Merchant and Artist Walks, Sternwheel Festival, shopping at Giant Eagle, walking the bike trail and all the other places we run into each other. Love our town!
Pen is in hand and ready to begin writing the next chapter.
