The Un-Tellable

If only I could blog about my work. Its confidential nature prohibits it, but the stories are endless and from very challenging... to crazy... to amazing!
I love my job... its ups, downs, helping others, learning new things every day, feeling that you are making a difference in lives every single day and really helping people meet financial goals and thus emotional and life goals to follow. There is no better feeling than making that long term difference in someone's life! I wish I could share the special moments, highs and lows and true day in the life of the banker.

Past, Future and In-Between

Have you ever looked at someone, even a complete stranger, in their "old age" and thought...
What were they like when they were young? What kind of child were they? Did they grow up in the "in" crowd, or were they a loner? What were their hobbies? Were they busy or quiet? How much has changed since they were a child?
What made them the way they are today?

Have you ever seen a little child playing or baby in their parents arms and thought...
What are they to become? How will they change the world? What challenges will they encounter and what victories and accomplishments will they fulfill? Will they have families of their own? Where are they going and what will the future bring to them? What will change in their lifetime?

I know I have.

In the beginning of the blog

blog:
"online journal where an individual, group, or corporation presents a record of activities, thoughts, or beliefs. Some blogs operate mainly as news filters, collecting various online sources and adding short comments and Internet links. Other blogs concentrate on presenting original material. In addition, many blogs provide a forum to allow visitors to leave comments and interact with the publisher. "To blog" is the act of composing material for a blog. Materials are largely written, but pictures, audio, and videos are important elements of many blogs. The "blogosphere" is the online universe of blogs." -Encyclopedia Britannica

I have been inspired and driven by unknown ambition to begin a blog. I do not yet know what I have to bring to the world of the e-journal forum, but hope that with time it finds inspiration and a sort of life of its own.
