The Choice.


Well hello! I'm pretty ecstatic about this whole blog thing. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it up to date. About six months ago my amazing dad helped me make a profile on an "Au-Pair/Nanny" agency website. I thought it might be fun but couldn't imagine actually obtaining a job through this. In fact I felt pretty hopeless about finding a job at all because my past experience in the employment market had not been very successful, hence my dad's urging. But to my surprise, I got about three interested prospects within a week. By April I had offers from New Zealand, Denmark, Michigan, Kentucky, Vermont, New Mexico, and New York. Although living in Europe would have been incredible, I didn't feel quite right about it. In the end I had it narrowed down to New Mexico and New York. I felt so good about both of them and it was a very difficult decision, but after much meditation and some good advice from friends and family, I decided to go to NYC. So far, it's been magical and I truly feel like this choice was a great one. I am incredibly blessed and can't wait to write about it!
