The adventures of the employed!

For almost nine months, I was searching for a new job in my field and after a long search, I found one.  I work at an amazing museum where people from all over the world flock just to see it.  It is the home of an absolutely splendid woman who worked hard to change the world through her wealth and social standing.  She was called the "Heroine of the Titanic" but felt as if she was only doing her duty, she fought for women's rights, worked with Rockefeller to improve rights of miner's after the Ludlow Massacre, allowed her servants to learn right along with her, and so much more in Denver and the world.  This woman is Margaret Tobin Brown and she is an amazing woman to have as a boss!

Yes, I know, she has been long gone for many years but educating those who admire her wonder and gumption is a great honor.  I have been at the museum for over two months now (sorry it has taken so long to write again) and I have learned so much about her and I am far from a feminist but she is a woman to be admired. 

As with any new job, there is always a time when you are learning so much and then all of a sudden you know the programs and the beginning of it all and you can start putting on your own touch.  I am at the moment but I have also learned what to share and what not to share.  It has been a great learning experience and I am looking forward to learning more about this amazing woman and her legacy in the world. 

I have realized over all this time who has truly been there for me and who was a spark in my life and who has continued to burn as a friend in my life.  It is interesting in the times of trouble who stays out of your life but the moment something great happens they all come running back.  But I have learned some lessons from Margaret and it is to stand up for what I believe in and what really matters in life. 

I am excited about this adventure and I can't wait to see where this employment journey takes me.
