I must have been a very good girl this year, because…
a) Friday I was offered a job, Monday was my first day of work
b) Sunday night a friend took me to see the Nutcracker Suite performed by the Cincinnati Ballet

I got a new job! A real job, full time, with benefits, doing what I want to do. It’s with a Christian non-profit. They have several initiatives working with low-income families in downtown Cincinnati, and they also have some initiatives in Haiti. Check out their programs:
