Paddling upstream (or going with the flow?)

Potomac River, Great Falls

The first Monday of a new year holds such promise. It’s opening the calendar to a new work week, the holiday revelry is behind us, and the to-do lists start over. I get excited about a new year the same way I was excited about starting a new school year when I was a child. Now the decision looms…what will you make of this year? 


While others return to work after their holiday breaks, I will return to the job search committed to:

• Another chance to do it right
• Focusing on myself and what I want my life to be
• Areas to cultivate
• Learning: Expand knowledge of and practical uses for business of additional social networking and online marketing sites
• Developing multiple revenue streams

Sometimes life as job seeker feels like you’re paddling upstream and not making much progress. But I’m hoping for smoother sailing in 2011.
