This is a belated post for yesterday... To be honest, I'm not sure if I was able to hit my goal of making an impact yesterday. It was a day filled with doing research on freelance opportunities, and catching up with friends about their careers and start-up endeavors.
Oh, I did sign up for a bunch of NY Cares volunteer opportunities in the next few weeks! So planting the seeds of good deeds in advance, I suppose :)

Day 2
What a beautiful day for Day 2. Started off with an awesome outdoor training session with client E., who has boundless energy and loves it when I challenge her to the max.
I think I got at least one - maybe on the path to two - good deeds in fairly early this morning. May have facilitated a friend or two getting new jobs - or at least the opportunity to take a look at those positions. Also reached out to the good folks leading the charge on saving the roller hockey games at the park on Houston & 6th Ave, to see if there's any way I can help (as ex-journalist that's currently on sabbatical).

Day 1
Ahhh, the first day of feeling truly liberated from finance/investment-related work. The CFA exam, though less than 72 hours past, already feels like ancient history.
Today was a productive Day 1 of sudden liberation.
- helping a fellow alum with finding nutritionists to speak with so that she could explore a new career path
- writing and submitting an article to a local personal trainers group that will hopefully be helpful in both sharing training tips and generating client leads
- talking with someone about potentially getting involved with his fitness/entertainment-related start-up opportunity
- completing my profile/application to seek potential funding to fund my own start-up idea
All to be followed by some meetings / calls lined up for the next week or two to discuss other opportunities.
Wrapped up the day by making dinner for my J (baked tilapia and fingerling potatoes; power greens salad with roasted beets and ranch dressing; and a quinoa fruit bake that tastes suspiciously similar to bread pudding - yum!)
May the adventures continue!
