Today's Initiative

3 important points:

1. I plan to join a pro bono program that will involve dealing with criminal cases in the appellate division of NY state courts. This will give me the opportunity to argue in court, which is what I've been wanting to do for the longest time. I miss professional argumentation, and it's about time I get the ball rolling. It may mean extra time at work, but that's all good; it's worth the sacrifice to be doing something wonderful for the community and at the same time show these NY judges what I'm made of. Of course, this is all pending an approval by my employer.

2. I promised myself to join a special weekend seminar that is supposed to be quite an experience according to my friend. As vague as the concept is, she calls me every other night to sell the seminar to me. Suffice it to say, she herself seemed so much more empowered after she had joined, so I'm more than willing to take the plunge with this one. Watch out for some posts after the weekend ends...it seems very promising.

3. I need to reach out to those who helped save my life last October. I have no more excuses to keep this from lingering.
