Spring has arrived with its characteristic light green foliage, flourishing plants, and yes—even weeds. This season of renewal offers the perfect backdrop for reflecting on transitions in both personal and professional life.
After four years of working on my garden, I've finally feel like I've accomplished something. Like I'm maintaining more than I'm redoing and creating now. It's a good feeling. Anyone who has undertaken a major project understands the profound satisfaction of shifting from constant development to simply maintaining what you've built.
Meanwhile, my fundraising work continues with both challenges and unexpected victories. Working with a new organization means building sponsor relationships from scratch, yet we've already surpassed last year's results and secured a local TV news anchor as our event MC. This partnership is already showing results with our social media!
Creating my first online silent auction has proven both challenging and rewarding, with over 60 prizes secured already. One prize that used to be easy to secure was a Las Vegas hotel. Now things are different and Las Vegas is transforming from the days of complimentary rooms and affordable dining to today's landscape of parking fees and reduced staffing.
Whether you're tending a garden, building professional relationships, or simply appreciating the changing seasons, I hope you'll join me in recognizing patterns of renewal in your own life. Follow the Only Child Diaries podcast, share with friends who might need these reflections, and let's navigate this season together.
