She works hard for her money!

Arrived last night from NC, so glad to be home. Now 8AM Monday morning I am back to work. This was my second trip with the new company and it has been a great experience. She works hard for her money kinda fits how I am feeling. My career has given me the opportunity to challenge myself in many areas. Yesterday I presented for the first time in front of an audience! I reviewed the new website and was a bit nervous due to not knowing what I would be presenting until that morning. No preparation = nerves and uncertainty. This was truely baptism by fire. I definately am not experience enough to wing a presentation. I did alright, but I want to do great! Like many of my colleagues who have been presenting for over 10 years. I am a true rookie. A personal goal of mine is to be able to present. I need to reherse my presentation at this point atleast until I have a few under my belt. I wish it were easier but its just so foreign to me at this point. Ughh lots to learn but I am working hard to grow professionally everyday.
It was interesting to talk to my fellow women colleagues. They to are mothers trying to juggle career and motherhood. It was so refreshing to hear that they to have to force themselves to not work when they get home. I have no problem getting home and focusing on the kids however work is always on my mind. Just knowing that I am not alone made me feel better. What a great group of people I work with they're very inspiring and I see myself developing some great relationships and growing tremendously both mind, body and soul. Still working towards finding my place, now I am really starting to think about retirement in AZ somewhere in the mountains where I can just sit back and enjoy the scenery while painting.
