The campaign trail part II …

Well, I am officially in the running to serve on the board of directors. For those of you from the neighborhood who are reading this, there was an error on the notification that went out with the bio information for the candidates. I don’t know who Mrs. Brown is but the statement published was my own – LOL. Somehow the person keying in the information typed Mrs. Brown instead of Ms. Benjamin. I thought it was pretty funny and I’m glad Mrs. Brown thinks so highly of me :o)

The campaign trail ...

I would like to serve on the board of my homeowner’s association and thought it would be a great idea to reference my LinkedIn page which also lists my blogs. I discovered today that viewers can not see my glowing recommends on my public profile. In order to remedy that setback, I have decided to include them in my blog.

To those of you who are reading this as a part of ascertaining my qualifications to serve on the board, please read the comments below …

Breaking news ...

It has been way too long since my last posting and so much has happened. I can not list everything that has happened in the last month but I have discovered two things I love … Toshiba laptops and Anytime Fitness.

Thanks to Anytime Fitness, I have found my passion for exercise again. The doors are always open (if you have a key) and if you go at an odd hour, it is like having your own personal gym because no one is there. It is GREAT!! Can you tell I am really excited?  My schedule is very demanding and is always changing. I need a facility that allows me to exercise safely and comfortably when it is convenient for me. I have surpassed my goal of going to the gym at least twice a week. I just started last week and I love it so much that I have gone everyday for the past week and look forward to it everyday. It is a match made in Heaven

I have also added running for a position on my homeowner’s association board to my list of “things to do”. I think it will be a good experience and it will allow me to utilize some of my project management skills. I am working on my campaign strategy and trying to articulate why the homeowner’s should vote for me without sounding cheesy.

Please wish me luck and if you think of a good slogan for my campaign, please let me know.  I have to have my “intent” form turned in by March 12th.
