Yep, I'm lucky. I say lucky because this past year has been some amazing experiences, and my participation in them was not all my doing.
Local politicians, friends, some very helpful ladies with the Republican Women's Club, cancer fundraiser volunteers, and of course my sweetheart have a lot to do with how well things have been going for me.
Without all the help, I'd have never done some of the things I've done, I never would've met one of my long-time heroes, I'd still be just reading about others who do the stuff I want to do, and now I have a chance to do something even bigger--thanks to the help from some great people.
The local Republicans nominated and sponsored me to apply for some special training for "women in leadership" and I just received my letter congratulating me. I've been selected as a finalist and I interview for a spot in the program on June 17th in Phoenix. That's almost a four hour drive, quite a committment.
After I read my letter my eyes darted around (Like how Joey on "Friends" would call it--as if I were trying to do long division in my head) I realized that Brandy and R.J. would be flying into Phoenix that same day. Uh ohhhhh....
But, good news. The interview is at 3:30, and the girls land at the airport at 4:30. And the airport is 16 minutes away from where I'm interviewing. Yaahoooo! Talk about the stars falling right into place!!!! This is probably the first time in my life that the stars have been completely on my side.
The only time I had any luck in the past was considerably bad luck. I've starved, I've been homeless, I've been in incredible pain, I've worked my tail until I had no tail left at all, I've been the outcast, I've scrimped and saved, only to to be ripped off to the tune of many thousands of dollars, taken advantage of, fought off pure evil, I've had to constantly rise above the drama, and through it all I've always wondered what it would be like to have good luck instead of bad. Now that I've tasted it I WANT IT ALL THE TIME.
Could this be the end of the bad luck? Or is this a fluke? Am I jinxing myself by being so openly triumphant?????
