Carousel Ministries

Well, here we go with a new venture ... my first blog!  A dear friend started one a couple of weeks ago and I have so enjoyed reading what she has to say each day that I thought I'd try my hand at it.  I am hoping to be faithful in posting frequently, but as the title of my blog suggests, I am one busy woman.

I retired from Montcalm Community College at the end of December.  But that wasn't really retirement, it was just transition into the next adventure (or should I say set of adventures!).  I am currently in the midst of seven (yes, SEVEN) jobs!  Let's see, here they are:
  1. MCC Adjunct Faculty
  2. Filling in for MCC MTEC staffing needs
  3. Filling in for MCC Library needs
  4. Setting up Chemistry and Natural Science lab experiment carts for MCC
  5. Started my new business, LAWood Consulting
  6. Just was hired as Executive Director of Leadership Montcalm
  7. Serve as Treasurer for my church
  8. Spend 3-4 days and/or nights weekly watching my grandchildren while Daddy is working or sleeping.
Whew!  No wonder I'm tired.  And I thought it was just old age (hitting 60 soon).  Anyway, I'm glad I'm not one of those folks who retire and then sit and grow old.  I don't think I have that in me.  Well, maybe it's in me, but I don't dare give in to it.  I'm already fat and sassy and if I sat around, I'd become more of each!

Well, guess this is enough for the first post.  Now I have to hit the "Publish" button and see what happens.  Stay tuned for further posts.  Good night all!    ~  Leslie Anne
