Grateful


It's been a very long time since I've written anything on the blog.  Life goes by at such great neck speed, it takes my breath away.  I've settled nicely in my new job at LinkedIn and I am always grateful for all the blessings that I have in my life.  I am thrilled that LinkedIn believes in giving back to the community. This is something that resonates in my core.  I have always been involved in my community.  When Matthew was younger, I was on the Board of the child care center and we built a new school.  Since I've arrived in California, I have been searching for new causes to be a part of.  Today, I had the chance to give back to my new adopted hometown and provide help at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley.  Together with my colleagues, I worked with families who are dealing with housing issues.  I've always said that - you never stop learning.  Today, I learned about housing laws and how unjust it is towards tenants.  The families that I met, touched me deeply with the issues that they are dealing with.  I only hope that my assistance will help them get to a better place.

Here's a photo of me with my team at the end of our clinic.  Yes, that's me, the "petite" one hiding in the second row.
