Top Eleven for my Eleventh...

Welcoming myself back to my blog with the TOP ELEVEN REASONS why I've loved working at Graceway...in honor of my 11th staff anniversary on 1/29:

• 11.  It's 12min from my home, of the which I travel leisurely in the opposite direction of the dreaded rush hour! (hmm, google maps says 16min, surely I don't speed!?)
• 10.  It's 5min from Benetti's Coffee Experience, the BEST coffee break spot! And if I can't spare the 15min, we proudly brew their beans in our office.
• 9. It's 20min away from any great local foodie joint!
• 8. It's where I get to be bilingual on a daily basis!
• 7. It's where I get to travel the world and back, through planning trips for the boss.
• 6. It's where sometimes I get to travel the world and back myself; through translating, serving, learning or simply being!
• 5. It's where I get to meet and serve the most incredible people; whom all seem to leave an unforgettable mark in my life!
• 4. It's where I get to be a part of a likeminded staff; who are for each other and for serving God!
• 3. It's where I get my "hospitality" fix by planning anything from a lunch meeting to a church-wide event!
• 2. It's where I get my "detail-oriented" fix on a daily basis!
• 1. It's where God led me to work at 21yrs old in order to grow me; I am forever in awe of His hand in my life. :)

Looking forward to carving out time to blog again, it's so good for me to process out "loud" what I learn and experience in this unique neck of the woods.

Til then, off to make the afternoon cup o' joe!
