Today, June 13, 2014 I will say so long to my friends and more importantly the family I have made at ConAgra Foods. It is the end of a chapter that has been pretty amazing.
During my 8.5 years at ConAgra I made a leap which was because my hubby supported me, had 4 kids, was able to do 3 different roles, lost a parent, lost a grandparent and truly grew as a person. THAT IS A LOT TO WALK AWAY FROM!
I would have never gone on even an interview almost 9 years ago if it was not for Matthew and his support. I am not totally excited about how this chapter is ending but I am looking at the blessings and preparing for what may be next on my journey.
I am truly grateful for many things that I was able to experience during this chapter of my life. I have grown, in so many ways professionally and personally.
I was able to be pushed beyond what I believed possible and then pushed others to do more than they thought possible. I have made some fabulous friends and had an extended family who was there and ready to take care of me when I needed them most. You do not always get the chance to work with such amazing people as I have and I will miss those people but I know they will always be a part of my life.
Life works funny, God has the plan, today is the last day for me on this particular path of my journey he has chosen for me. I am not scared, I am anxious and excited for the next step and blessed that my chosen path was one which allowed me to do SO much in such a short time.
Eight and a half years, seems like a lifetime some days and minutes others. Who knew so much could happen during your career? Who knew what the plan would be when I took a leap of faith? Who knew I would be so blessed to work with so many AMAZING people who are priceless?
To each of you, you have touched not only my life but my family's life and we thank you for all of your support. Take care of each other. I will not say goodbye but would rather say, "until I see you again"
So long ConAgra, hello new chapter, whatever you may be I know it will be amazing!
