So, I moved to Calgary almost 2 years ago... and I was looking for ways to get involved and meet people. I joined the Calgary Outdoor Club but was away so much, that I always missed the "easy" hikes and didn't feel fit enough to try the more "advanced" ones! I didn't want to get involved with a Church... What to do, what to do...
Well, as with most things... I didn't have to go looking for it.. It found me. One day, our local community newsletter had an article saying that their editor was retiring and they were looking for a replacement! I love writing. Love editing. Love creating newsletters... What a perfect fit. So I submitted my name and voila... I am one of a team of three editors who have taken on the newsletter. It doesn't require a huge time committment. I get to go out and have coffee/hot chocolate with my co-editors every few weeks. I get to edit various articles that are submitted. I am making connections in the community and... well... it just feels good! Plus, as editor, I am now on the local community board of directors... Lots of fun!
So... something found me that was right up my alley... tied into my love of writing, my love of creating and a good fit for my skills of editing and organizing... Funny how that happens... Guess we just have to have our eyes and ears open and we never know what might find us...
