Good News

Well friends I have two pieces of exciting news that I would like to share with my friends! This Monday I started my new permanent job. It is at the Westin Casuarina in Las Vegas. I am responsible for auditing the casino side of the resort. I have enclosed pictues for your viewing pleasure.

The staff made my first week very pleasant. They were nice and helpful. I have my own office-no cube farms here! I think I will be very happy here. I know I won't encounter some of the negativity that I did at my last casino audit job-what a relief!

The other piece of news is that my poem Love's Sweet Pain is going to be published BOTH by Poetry.com and Noble House London. These places do not pay you to publish your work. I think that really bites. You have to take baby steps to get to bigger and better things. I am thankful and grateful that my work is being recognized though and it IS getting out there! If you want to read the poem, please visit the poetry blog. It is the first of the links. Check out the comment that was made. Well, friends, I wish everybody well. Have a safe and good weekend!

Congratulations! You got a nice job and your latest poem was published. You see, not all days are cloudy. There will be sunshinny days too. Savor your blessings, you deserve them. May God shower you with more blessings. "But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19)God loves you no matter what.
