Seems like a good day to spread good news!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I have hinted to the fact that I had something exciting in the works and everything seems finalized so I’m happy to report that I’ve been accepted into the Certificate for Sustainable Business program at the Bainbridge Graduate Institute! I’m not going for the full MBA because I’m just not that interested in Accounting and Finance (plus, I’ve already completed a Master’s Program in a completely unrelated field) but those lucky MBA ducks get to study here:

So between my full-time job, fitting in exercise, being a good wife, losing 20 more lbs., blogging, and trying to keep my house in some semblance of order and repair, I will also be taking classes on Wednesday nights through the spring and then finishing up about a year from now. I’m hoping to roll this into Sustainability work with some of our current clients or possibly grow into a whole new gig! Anyway, I’m super excited, and I reiterated in my admission essays that I really wanted to converge my personal interests with my professional capabilities.
So I’m officially going to become an Agent of Change!
It’s been one of those incredible processes where the right people have come into my life at the right time. Even on the plane coming home from my mom’s, I sat next to a woman who does PR and promotions for small farmers and slow food advocates. She had a job for me right then except for that I have no plans to leave my job.
Everything that’s happened since I started the ball rolling has really cemented this for me. It absolutely feels like the right thing for me to be doing right now.
So that’s what I’m thankful for at the moment – the opportunity to be a part of something that strives for a better, healthier planet. I can’t wait!
PS. The funniest part of the whole thing is that I’m exactly the average age, sex, and even astrological sign as the rest of their Certificate students. Glad they could fit in one more 43 year-old female Virgo!
Congrats my friend. Sounds like everything was meant to be, and this next year will just fly by. Can’t wait to see where your new chosen path might take you.
Loved your Thanksgiving. 2 hours of yoga followed by Caesar salad and shrimp? Um, perfect!
I had no idea that certification even exists! That is so cool! Get out and do some good, girl!
yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for tiff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am SO excited for you!!! I wish I had the balls (and energy) to take on all that!
so this is clearly wayyy late, but that’s awesome! my fiance’s sis got an MBA from some school down in san fran where she focused on sustainable business practices and loved it (and can now tell us what corporations are sustainable and not
)
good luck!
