However, I also just googled Chow Chow...and found my new favorite breed of dog as it has a whole other meaning:
Anyway, back to the story and the meaning behind this blog. So I have been interviewing for jobs recently and went out to dinner with folks from one of the Colleges the day before the interview started. We sat down at the table and what is the first thing they serve to us but Chow Chow. It was at that very moment that I teared up a bit, because for those of you know know me very well....my mother used to send me jars of chow chow because I loved to put it on my salads. When we would visit Lancaster for a few days she would always make sure to buy me a jar because she knew that I loved it. Friends would laugh and make fun of me for it...but it will always have a special meaning for me. I knew that my mom was with me, particually for that interview, to give me great strength and to encourage me to be myself. I believe that signs are heaven sent... and this was one for sure. Thanks Mom :).
