Greetings friends!
A couple days ago I went to a retirement party of a
colleague. He talked about how he had
started his long career. It began when
he walked in and asked for a job, and the man behind the counter said “I’ll take a chance on you” and started him in a
temporary hourly position. From there on
out, as he advanced, again each person of authority said the same, “I’ll take a
chance on you”. And when my friend had
advanced to a position where he could be a source of help and guidance to
others, he stayed and excelled in his role.
And his parting words to us, his well-wishers, were to reach out and keep
trying until you find your niche, and remember to take a chance on others and
help your fellow man anytime you can.
With that, it is a great message to take into 2019. And I understood what my friend had said, as I
too have been the recipient of many opportunities where people gave me a chance. I hope I have helped others along my pathway
as well. I have come a long way, but I still have a ways to go. So I’ll
continue to reach for the stars and put one foot in front of me all the while
to be mindful to help others as I continue on my journey.
As 2018 draws to an end, it has been a year filled with more
ups than downs and I know I am truly blessed.
I have found a wonderful partner who
is my rock( fair to say we both took a chance on each other), we have great families and friends and we know every day is a gift
from God.

With that, I wish only the best for you in 2019, and hope as you seek what inspires
you, that others will give you a chance to shine and that you will the same for
others.
Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. All my best, Gayle
