My Biography is Coming Soon...

In Chicago for 6 months

Blog Posted by Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway: 2/10/2011 4:03:00 PM
Hey guys,

Miss ya much!!! Just wanted to let everyone know that I am in Chicago for 6 months. My girls are back home in MD with their dad and I miss them terribly.

As everyone knows I work part-time as a caregiver; what you don't know is that my FT job is as an advisor for Laureate Higher Education. This is my 1st travel assignment since 2007. I love my job but boy do I miss my girls.

I haven't had a minute to think let alone write and my heart desires it! I will have some down-time this weekend and will be judging my last contest. Expect results by Sunday at the latest. I hope everyone is doing well. Big hugs... Lay

What a lovely picture!! Enjoy your stay in Chicago...but stay warm. Heard they were blasted in the last winter storm! Indeed it is hard to be away from your children, so I hope the time passes quickly for you. Good luck!

We miss you here, Lay, but I know you're on quite a prestigious mission in Chicago. Maybe the girls will be able to visit you soon. Spring break is coming up. Love, Carolyn

It's so nice, though, that you have a job that you seem to love and you are busy and looking happy there in your cute picture, Walayee! Good luck with your contest. I can't even remember it or if I entered it. The contests here are like speeding bullets! Luv, Andrea
