Paula's Story: Hello & welcome to my first official blog entry.
I started on my journey to "re-invent" myself after attending my first "Girls Night Out" gathering on January 4, 2010, aptly titled "re-inventing yourself" - so - I made a resolution for the new year to change what I was doing out of necessity and to do what I really wanted to do - what I am passionate about, and my passion would be to work with animals. I have done a lot of research, looking into Grooming Schools, Vet Tech training and any other opportunities available. I have had a lot of ups and just as many downs over the last several months. One of the highlights of my journey was when I was invited to join a wonderful group of women and be a guest on the local cable show "Waking up with Wendy". I was thrilled and excited with this opportunity as well as - should I say - a tad bit nervous over the prospect of being on television and sharing my story with others. The show was taped last week and it went just g-r-e-a-t !!! It was like sitting around talking to a group of gal pals, and I'm hoping that I might be able to inspire others as I have been inspired by the women at "Girls Night Out". My journey continues tomorrow with a meeting regarding possible funding so I can pursue this dream of mine.
Keep those magic dreams alive !! Thanks, Paula

I like how you clearly stated what you want, which I think is always the first step in creating something new, right? What do you care most about? And What do you want? My two first favorite questions. Thanks for blogging, this is going to be fun and we will get into the swing of it as we get more experience and time working together. Did I say yet today I think you rock?! Well, you do.
Paula, I just watched the television show and am struck by your honesty and your courage. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to be part of your reinvention. I am looking forward to hearing more.
Paula,
Why don't you contact the Animal Rescue Network of New England out of Pelham, NH? They are always in need of volunteers and will connect you personally with all kinds of animal workers - Vets you can trust, groomers, trainers, rescues. It is a large and wonderful network doing great work keeping animals from euthanization because of overcrowding. You might start with a Pet Adoption Day which brings many rescues and animal care givers together in one place! Check out www.arnne.org for more information. You are doing a wonderful job opening to new possibilities. This is what this time is about. Keep it up girl! We are all behind you.
