The Hawk, Revisited

It's been weeks since I've seen a hawk. Oftentimes I think I see one, and it's just another one of those giant black crow things. Yesterday I was on my way to Coffee Training-(for my new job which I will post about when I start), and a hawk flew right in front of and over my car. Thank you for the symbolism of courage, Hawk. I've missed you.

Also yesterday I saw a gentleman at the Farmer's Market in the aisle next to me, purchasing a lot of meat. On the back of his jacket was the name of an International Organization, with whom I have corresponded with regarding Cooking Classes. I spoke with a man well before Christmas, and turns out they have guest chefs teach cooking classes. Just for fun I thought I'd see if this was the same man I had corresponded with in the past. Crazy. It was. We shook hands, chatted a bit, and once again I was reminded that THERE ARE NO COINCIDENCES. I took the chance, introduced myself to a stranger, and he was not a stranger.

As I left the Farmer's Market, my car battery was dead. I was reminded again that I am not in control. My wonderful family came to rescue me, and magical husband had a new battery in my car before bed. Thanks, Love.

P.O.S.

Positively Outrageous Service by T. Scott Gross. My brother sent me this book. He's in charge of hiring for a large organization of pilots (name withheld) and he ordered one of these books for each pilot. He thought I'd like it and so far it's great! I've always been BIG into Customer Service, whether it was waiting tables in college, dental assisting or working for the Medical Animation/Illustration company, I pride myself in Fabulous Customer Service. I'm sure there's a lot to learn.
