Score One for Positivity!

Well, unless all of my references totally caved on me, I'll be starting training tomorrow night for a retail job.  Woot!  Which means, by the way, that I got the job I was talking about in this post.  And I'll tell you how:

1.  In 4 inch Nine West heels that I previously would have told you I don't "do", because I'm not a heels girl.

2.  In a sweater that didn't fit me last year.

3.  In a necklace I made for myself instead of standard pearls.

4.  Wrapped in total positivity.

So yes, it's not exactly a fortune five hundred job, but it's a job that I went out for, interviewed for, and rocked that interview--like best interview I've ever had kind of rocked it.  She hired me on the spot!

So what does this mean?  Maybe I should be rocking some extra positivity--not because I think that positivity naturally begets positive results (it might, though) but because I am positive.  That's who I am, that's what I do. And frankly, I think the best way to get what you want (and not get hopelessly confused in the process) is to be your damn self.

I'll let you know how adventures in retail go.  I'm starting part time, so I'll still be freelancing for a while (if not forever, let's be honest).  What I'm really excited about, however, is with a little extra cash, I'm going to start concentrating my freelancing efforts on the things I really, really want to do--like write for magazines!

Which, in a funny way, kind of feels like a birthday present to myself.  What a better way to turn 25 than to really concentrate on achieving exactly what I want to achieve?
