Much Ado About Something

It has been quite a while since my last post. I know my dearest and loyal (maybe one) fans have missed my blogging activity.

I would like to address that over this time gap a lot has changed in our world. We re-elected Obama, were fearful of Romney taking away our choice, Gays have the ability to enjoy a legal marriage with all the benefits that straight couples receive, Plan B was proposed to be available over the counter for girls, and Texas is fighting to stop abortion. There are of course plenty more things that have occurred, but you intelligent readers have been following the news and know this already.

Currently I have been changing fields of study and career paths. As it is listed somewhere I studied Journalism at Iona College. I have graduated and now am looking towards law school. With this I would like to study Media and Entertainment Law so that I can work with major publications and make a change.

If you follow me on twitter, @anj4insights I have been keeping extremely busy on there! So much so that Joanna Coles, @joannacoles Editor-in-Chief of Cosmopolitan Magazine, has favorited a fair amount of my posts. So if you are not following me, then you certainly should!

Let me speak more about Joanna Coles. Joanna Coles, who you can read more about her origins by clicking her name, has done something magnificent. She has taken my dream, tear, and is pushing Cosmopolitan back to it's great history of being a "Fun, Fearless, Female" publication by reviving it with stories that focus on women's issues both here and abroad. She has taken the reins and made the publication political, and has given writers the ability to be true journalists. I cannot wait for the future success this publication will bring.


Enough spoiling Ms. Coles with my admiration. Additionally there are many women and men who have made some astounding contributions over this time that I have not been writing. When I was at a convention this past summer for a Gujarati festival, I met Sunil Desai, he is the President and Treasurer of the Bindi Project @BindiProject. This organization is passionately pursuing and giving the well deserved respect for women that both Indian men and women, boys and girls should share. I celebrate and admire their efforts. www.bindiproject.org

 

Additionally I would like to speak about Sheryl Sandberg, @sherylsandberg who wrote Lean In. It was a phenomenal read and I highly suggest anyone who is working in a corporate setting read it, or anyone who intends on pursuing any form of career. I will probably refer to this book again since I have underlined my favorite lines and ideas (so just about 50% of the book). I tried to refrain, but it is difficult. Visit http://leanin.org/ to see the organization.

Sorry my first posting in some time has dragged and been a bit scatter brained. I have so many things to write about and share but the first post I think should be like a pilot episode, a little bit of this a little bit of that and you have a semi decent picture of the fun in store.

I look forward to some responses and to chatting with you all soon.
Let the fun begin!
