New professional chapter begins at East-West Center
When one door closes, another door open. Challenges are just
opportunities by another name. You’ll land on your feet.
Yes, I used these cliches while counseling those who lost
jobs, or didn’t get hired for the job they wanted. I was embarrassed to utter
these seemingly silly phrases because, honestly, I couldn’t come up with
anything better. I certainly didn’t really believe what I was saying.
In hindsight, maybe I was right.
Not only is the job perfect, but the location is idyllic
Honolulu, Hawaii. (For some great Honolulu photos, check this out). Nothing is more attractive to me than no winters, no blazing
hot summers, and easy access to breathtaking beaches and mountains. It truly is
paradise.
I am grateful for the opportunity the East-West Center has
given me, and will of course do everything I can to validate the confidence
they’ve shown in me.
So, I did land on my feet, charge through that open door, and seize the opportunity that presented itself.
I’m excited to see what comes next.
