"You are the way you are because that's the way you want to be. If you really wanted to be any different, you would be in the process of changing right now."
- Fred Smith
        
            June 2009:  I was in Dallas, minding my own business - literally (I worked for my Dad's company) and got a call from a recruiter.  He connected me to a company named POWER Engineers.  POWER was in search of a manager for their West coast operations.  "But I already have a great job, working for a great man - my dad," was my response to the recruiter.
   
            I told Laura about my call and we discussed it further and dropped the topic.  The next morning, Laura came back to me and encouraged me to at least interview.  Just see why God has put this in your life.  Change is a norm for us and we Jhaveri's are an adventerous lot.  I called POWER and four months later I was the new West coast department manager with POWER.  

               The job was in Vancouver, Washington not British Columbia.  Think Portland, Oregon, that's about where we ended up.  To make matters more interesting, we decided to build our home.  We found a lot with a fabulous view and designed our "Dream home."

                Multiple Sclerosis?  Who that?  I stayed on my Avonex, but was relatively symptom free.  India had done its magic and life would continue to keep getting better. 

                Right?

that opening statement just makes me MAD!!!! How dare they! Was I an abused child because I wanted to be - NO!!! Was I stricken with the latest set back with RA because I wanted to be?! NO!!!!! Satan plays a huge part in the negative situations that are trust upon us! Don't give up! Stay the wonderfully amusing person you have always been!
