Feeling Blessed

Hi all!

I know it's been a while but my life has seriously been on overdrive! 

Warning: This is a happy post - like a really happy one. So if your one those people who are all...

...just walk away now.....

Firstly, Can you believe I have hit nearly 900 views on my blog?! AMAZING - Thanks all!

Ok so here is a recap of the past 2 months. I'm going to number them...

1. I have finally finished studying Interior Design! This has literally been a build up of the last 4 years from something I dreamed of to something I can actually do. Just goes to show that your limited only by yourself. If that doesn't inspire you do follow your dreams then I'm not sure what will.

I have also started to send out my resume! I found this to be a really difficult task. I'm not exactly sure why but I just keep wondering what a resume is supposed to look like?
On the one hand...I want it to stand out...but on the other hand...I don't want it to be this massive file to download and all my future boss's are like "stuff this...I'm not even downloading it...". But I do need to fit in a small summary of all  my projects...so the cycle in my head continues - anyone out there have any good resume/portfolio tips?

2. The other thing in my life that has started to take up so much time (and lessened my blogging attention) is a company called Train Like Hell - www.trainlikehell.com.au.
It is a site that anyone (Australia Wide) can go on, locate and book a Personal Trainer in their area! How convenient is that?!
It is a company that was set up in 2008 by a man I know with a brilliant mind. However he has been lead to other business opportunities and this project became neglected. 



As a 23 year old with no annual income, still studying, blogger, socialiser...we'll your getting the idea I had no stable income coming in and lots of motivation behind me - I needed a job and a challenge.

So I took the reins of the company! I hire trainers all over Australia and find them clients. It has been one of the most amazing business experiences I have undertaken so far and I cannot even write down the amount of experience I have gained! I am literally running a business, from my computer - and its working! 

3. My friends are amazing. Somehow, I have (unintentionally) surrounded myself with some amazing people. I'm actually going to name them...(just pretend I've just won a grammy and here is my speech)

Jenna - Jenna has and will always be my go-to-girl. She always listens, we have made some pretty unique memories and she's probably the coolest person I know!  I can tell her anything and know she will give me the best advice for me. Plus she is like a freekin mother bear when it comes to me and boys, always looking out for me and always trying to protect me. Watch out any boys who have to get her approval!!

Jess - Jessica is new to my inner circle and she is freekin one in a billion. We can talk until the sun comes up, we can (mainly she) can turn any simple social outing into a networking experience and we just have so much fun together! looking forward to her in my future - yep.

Ashley - Ashley is an old friend but we seem to be each other's therapist. If only we could claim medicare on our conversations...We speak about everything; relationships, emotions, studying, boys - everything. Not sure what I would do without her...I probably would have driven myself insane by now!

And

Pnina - Although she no longer lives in Australia. I miss her terribly and she is a huge part of who I am today!! She visits in January - yayay!!

But these girls together have made my life fun, exciting, thrilling, entertaining but also make me feel so secure, calm and confident - so thanks!

Don't even get me started on my family. My sisters are just everything anyone could ask for, my parents are so supportive, loving and generous! AND my nephews are so adorable!!!!

FINALLY
I have started networking in the design world. Now I'm not saying it's a done deal but Michael McCann has asked for my resume.... 
I sent him an email saying how much of a fan I am of his work and he replied! 
check out his website...he did the Victor Churchill butcher in Woollahra....just saying...

Again, he might not like my style or think I have what it takes to be on his team (even though I think I would do an amazing job and grow so much with him) it just gives me the confidence and hope that it's all happening right now and anything is possible and attainable if I truly want it. And I do...so...it's all happening.

Thats about it for now. Wish me luck...we'll more luck :)
