Folks:

I have some exciting news!  I have been offered and have accepted a new job!  I can't share the details just yet, as I have to give my new company a chance to announce it.  But let it be sufficient to say that it involves me becoming totally immersed in the deaf and hard of hearing communities on an everyday basis.  I'm SO looking forward to starting back to work in October.

But..... that also means that I will have to cut back on my blogging here... To avoid conflicts of interest, my blog postings from here on out will be mostly of an informational nature.  When there are events for the deaf and hard of hearing in Kentucky and across the nation, I will attempt to post them on here in a timely manner. 

This has led me to reflect upon what I have learned over the past almost 5 months without employment..I've learned that there is still a lot left to be accomplished for the deaf and hard of hearing communities in terms of searching for jobs, going through interview processes, and so forth.  It has also allowed me to step back and reflect upon how much of my family life I have missed over the years while working.  I've enjoyed attending their ballgames, spending lots of time working with my son on his football skills, and so on.  Life has slowed down a little for me, and for that, I'm grateful. 

I will leave the blog open, but could go a while between responses should you post a comment.
