Skyline and Car trails

2008 is shaping up to be a very interesting year. The photo above is a sample of some things that we worked on in photography class last week. Although, it was a really cold evening to be out taking photos we had a great time photographing the Charlotte skyline. I must admit that I was exhausted before heading to my class and I was lacking my usual enthusiasm, however as soon as I got behind my tripod I began to relax.

I love city skylines. I often intentionally take certain routes home so that I can get a glimpse of my favorite views of Charlotte's skyline. However, this year may find our car trailing on unfamiliar roads as we view new city skylines. I recently found out that I have been selected to be a part of a Management Training program for work. They selected about 25 individuals from throughout the country. The program will find me traveling to California later this month and then to Massachusetts two other times this year. The big adjustment in regards to this program is that I am being groomed for a District Sales Manager position anywhere in the country.

Although I am honored and excited about this opportunity I must admit that I feel a bit nervous. Self doubt has quickly found a place in my mind and is asking me all sorts of questions like am I really ready to manage a team of other sales professionals, what do I possibly have to teach them, etc. Then after spending many years in other cities as well as on another continent I question whether I am interested in moving once again.

At the moment, I am letting this new challenge sink in. I am trying not to entertain too many what ifs until there is an actual offer on the table. Once there is an actual offer to review then I can spend more time balancing the pros and cons. For now I continue to relish in the comfort of a great network of friends and family close by.
