Lots of meetings and Coco

Well the snow is finally melting and we are sitting on the plus side of the termometer and January is almost over. It has been a fast month, trying to get back into the swing of things and gear up for the new year.


This past week has been busy. My regional and area director were in town so I spent 2 days in 8 different meetings with national leaders and partners. It was very intersting to meet and spend time with the different leaders. And yes some times, especially on the first day of meeting I felt a little out place (could it be that I was in meetings with all men- Romania is male oriented culture and well some are not use to accepting women in leadership.) But I sat back, put a smile on and did the best I could. The nice thing is I did make a few new connections.


But to be honest I was so excited when the meetings were over and Friday finally came. Why you may ask? Because I was able to a late Christmas/ early Birthday present for myself. I bought myself a beautiful little chocolate lab name Coco Chanel. She is 6 weeks old a tough little girl. It is funny to watch her and my roommate's 18 month old yellow lab; Sami play together. They play fight, he is teaching her how to act and she is teaching him that he doesn't have to be afraid of the baby gate that is put up. (I have a feeling she is going to be teaching him some new trick in the future.) He eats her food and she eats his. The act just like a brother and sister.

The next few weeks will be busy, but that is life here in Romania. Have a blessed week!
