My Moment of Zen

originally uploaded by queenkv.

I’m going home. I accepted a news producer job in Sacramento, California. I am thrilled.

I used to pause at this spot on the UC Berkeley campus and enjoy this beautiful view of the bay. That was 10 years ago. Damn, I’m old.

Now, I’m taking another moment to pause. I’m grateful for how my life has turned out so far. I’ve lived big cities like Chicago, DC and London. I’ve published news reports for Chicago papers and television stations. I worked as a lab coordinator, Starbucks barista, Victoria Secret’s sales clerk, a figure skating coach and more.

I’ll miss Kansas and all the wonderful people here, but I can’t wait to go home in December.
