The power of music

Have you forgotten about the power of music?! Put you headphones on, play your favorite song and it will wake you up immediately and it will change the mood of the day. It will work for sure!! No sad songs allowed, only those that make you wanna dance.

There are says when coffee is not enough.. 😊😊😊

Realizations

It wasn't until Friday by the end of the day that I started on a brief that contained a lot of research and writing. Doing the research I kept thinking how things didn't change much from the things I was doing at the other office except for the crazy schedule, the lack of healthy food and not seeing my husband.

Then I started typing my file conclusions. It felt so good.. I was enjoying every word of it. The time I spent on the writing felt like minutes, seconds... I was doing what I love. The moaning transformed into happiness I was being proud and enjoying being a lawyer.

I don't know how long it will last (the feeling or the job) but I intend to make the most of it. Learn, grow, enjoy the beautiful things, avoid focusing on the bad stuff and keep on walking.

Have a good one!

New beginnings

Hello there!! I've been working at the new firm for five days. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because they are not very friendly.. They're all men, being the only woman I'm walking on eggshells in order to not hurt any sensibilities. I wish someone had stopped for a minute to explain how things work. I'm figuring out myself but it's taking longer... Schedule is crazy and every single minute of the day has to be explain in a data base in order to control if we are being productive. 

Oh well!! Beginnings are always hard. What really keeps me going is knowing how proud my dad is of me. I just feel it. 

Have a great day guys!!

Update

Hi guys!! I'm enjoying a few days back at home with my mother and friends. I'm trying to squeeze every single minute before going back to work.. Because starting the day after tomorrow basically means not having summer holidays. Don't get me wrong, I'm ok with that but I wish I had more days to be able to get a little rest before hell week. 

I'm not being negative, but beginnings are generally complicated. Being the new kid at school it's always stressing, learning the names, meeting new people, figure out who your lunch date will be... Finding out about how they get organized... Get used to that... It can be overwhelming! 

My intention, since I start on Thursday, is gather all this information an assuming it all during the weekend. 

I'll let you know how my first day goes!!

Insecurity

Feelings after the amazing news are confusing. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I can't wait to go back to stressful life making money for the family, feeling important and relevant again. But in the back of my head there is this small voice called Insecurity making me wonder... Will I be good enough? I'm trying not to listen but it is a grey could over my head I have to say.

And I need to buy shoes, you know? And a dress! Mandatory! God I'm such a girl!

Big smiles

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I'm really happy to announce I'll be joining the firm next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It's been a crazy, confusing, annoying, complicated, rough road but it's finally here. My effort and the tears are worth it. This is just another step. I know the job will be very very intense but I'm ready. 

Thanks for all your support and love along the way. This is just the beginnig so I'm hoping you will keep me company in the following months. 

Update

And the call came down the line. They made an offer. So far totally shitty but we are negotiating. I'll keep you posted!

Kintsugi

My neck is out again. It's been killing me since saturday... I guess expecting a call from humain ressources might have been the problem. Have you ever heard about an old traditional system of pulling together broken vases and plates by using gold. It's called Kintsugi. What they do is filling the missing pieces with melted gold and it sort of fills the blanks. The outcome is beautiful and adds strength to the piece. I'm only hoping that's what stress will do. Make me stronger! Hey! I'm not saying stress is better than gold but it's easier to find.
