Taking on a newer role in an old faithful

Beginning a new journey takes courage, bravery, strength and determination. When you have been out of work for a longer period of time that you anticipated, you are faced with different sets of challenges.
When you finally are successful in obtaining a position, hopefully in the career field your custom to being in, you have to remember how things are done. If your lucky, you will slide right back into the old ways, picking up where you left off.

I love the hospitality industry, in particular, the Hotel World. The guests are magical to me. They provide such joy and inspiration and I know that I have arrived at my perfect career choice. I have many friends from around the world, folks I have had the PRIVILEGE and HONOR of spending quality time with and with whom have taught me more than they could ever imagine.

When I left the Hotel industry to try my hand in the Casino World again, I was perplexed. I thought that I would loose my talents I so proudly offered many times prior. However, once thrown into that exciting and scary world of Casino's once more, made me realize more and more how much I LOVE Hotels and shall not stray again so help me God.

1365 rooms at the grand dame of Hotels the Toronto Fairmont Royal York Hotel to the Casino Rama Hotel to the Vancouver Fairmont Waterfront, I have learnt how to accept guests graciously, openly and lovingly. I learnt that I can treat each and every guest with respect and although they all have different ranging needs, they all expect and deserve the very same treatment. No one is better than the next. As I love to tell people, "We all have to put our pants on in the morning, some of us may have someone to DO it for us but we all have to do it, one leg at a time".

Returning to a small, small town to work has brought it's own challenges. Not knowing a single solitary person in town other than your parents with whom you have begrudgingly moved in with and not many more has offered a different opportunity for me. I have taken the time to write. My feelings, my chapter, my life. I have included posts for my blogs, expanding my Social Media take over. ;) I have learnt to calm down. Take every single step slower. I learnt to appreciate things in my life, be grateful. Even accepting a part time position in a lower scaled property. Such a difference from 1300+ rooms and now, 60. WOW.
Being in a property with over 65,000 cast members at Disney to working alone....WOW indeed.
However, I know I can do it, I have proven myself time and time again. I have shown others that I excel in this wonderful world of Hospitality. It's a delicious career choice for me, offering the opportunity to travel, explore and do the things I enjoy most, getting out and investigating our world we have the opportunity to live in.

These are things that makes so many people happiness, filled with Bliss. Can you truly say that you are delighted with going to work daily? Do you spring out of bed in the morning and are raring to go in?
Yes, people do have off days, but on the whole, if your truly doing what you love, you will HONESTLY never work a day in your life.
So go out there, figure out YOUR bliss and enjoy, ever. last. Fantastic moment.
