Coincidence?

We went to dim sum Saturday after the Garden Show. This was my fortune:

An optimistic attitude is half of success.

Believe these things or not, but the timing was interesting . . . .

Making lemonade

It’s time for a change. Actually, it’s been time for a change for several years. For a long time I’ve been restless, thinking that there must be something interesting out there that doesn’t involve actually practicing law, but a nice salary, 5 weeks vacation and a job without much heavy lifting kept me nice and comfortable.

Sometimes life has to give you a little push. This one came in the form of an announcement that my office is closing at the end of this year. I had two options: move to Rochester NY or move on. I chose to move on. So I’m embarking on a new adventure.

I’m now a graduate student at the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Studies at Cleveland State University, working toward my Masters degree in Nonprofit Administration and Leadership (it’s kind of like an MBA only for nonprofit entities). Classes started this week. All I can say is . . . this is going to be fun!
