LIFE AS I KNOW IT: THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS "CHANGE"

Home Sweet Home

I live in the semi arid desert region of West Texas called the Permian Basin. A road trip through our part of the country offers amazing views of the sky – bright golden sunrises and watercolor sunsets so immense that they take your breath away. The land is incredibly flat and sprinkled with mesquite trees, cactus and the occasional wild flower. Breaking the monotony of the landscape, oil wells, pump jacks and wind turbines accent the horizon. Cattle ranches spread far and wide sharing the natural resources that West Texas offers. The birthplace of a U. S. President and the home of "Friday Night Lights," Odessa offers a beauty all it's own. It is a good place to build a life.

THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS "CHANGE"

On May 28, I left the choir room at Nimitz Jr. High School for the last time as choir director. The month of June has been a time of recuperation and redirection. I am moving in a direction that I never planned for myself, but I'm going with my gut. I have just been hired as a Fundraising Consultant for Express Industries Professional Fundraising, Co. I have done business with this company for nineteen years and know all the ins and outs of the business from the school sponsor side. I have just spent four days in Houston at "ROOKIE SCHOOL" to learn the other side of the business. I have learned a new concept: getting financially compensated for the amount of work that you do. I guess that others have understood this, but all my life, I have worked harder and harder to be successful, just because that desire is a part of who I am. Today it is still a part of me, but they tell me that there is money involved!!! I think I might like that! Visit the website link to the right.
