In the past few days, two good things have occurred. I'm not sure that either one will be brought to fruition, but we'll see.
First. I was contacted late last week by someone who used to work for one of my international clients. I didn't know him personally, but we exchanged e-mails a few times. Turns out that he has left that organization and now works for another, very prestigious organization in Europe. He contacted me to find out if I would be interested in helping them prepare a major report. The work would begin this month and carry over into next month. It would be a wonderful opportunity for me because I would love to get my foot in the door with this organization. When I told my contact that I was available, he said that he would get back to me this week with more details. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this doesn't fall through.
Second. Yesterday I was participating in one of CharityChannel's online discussion forums. As part of my response to someone's e-mail, I sent a link to one of my blog posts that was pertinent to the discussion. Long story short -- the person who heads up CharityChannel asked if I would be interested in having them publish my blog. CharityChannel is a wonderful online resource for those in the non-profit sector, and claims to have over 100,000 participants and 35,000 subscribers to its newletters and forums. If they published my blog, it could potentially get a lot more exposure than it does now. I haven't made a decision yet because I want to do some more thinking about it. But I sure am flattered.
Two good things in the space of just a few days. I'm feeling pretty good.
