I have been writing for twelve years now. It's been one of those journeys where the destination is nothing to look forward to, but the bumps- no matter how big and gruesome, keep you on the road. So, today after having enough time to think - I learned that I have something inside of me-call it hope or dream, that no form of employment would definitely create room for because of how wild and uncertain it is.
I did have coffee with my sister. I ran into an old flame who bought me 3 novels (from the book vendor right outside Tuskys Supermarket- the one that's behind Mr. Price in town). I also did get a call from a friend who got a job courtesy of my editing and interview training. She was so happy she could barely contain herself. Now I am so glad for her that I can barely contain myself :-).
But, that aside- if you are ever seeking to work for someone-you have to fit their profile. I have learned I cannot do that- am not such a good actress. If you seek to work with someone, then you have to be willing to learn as much as you can from them- and sadly so, most of the jobs that seem to come my way need me to fit their profile-so, I will gladly stick to Research- for I can indeed be myself out in the field (point duly noted!)
So, since I last posted anything on this blog- I figured I could open up about this new dawn for me. It's all about the things I love and the places I have been to. I have gotten the opportunity to finally see through a life-long project and it scares me. It scares me because I will be running my own organization hoping to positively influence others. I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, because now that I have somewhere that I belong, it seems as though the world is ready to show me just how much I have to deal with.
So, "Happy Valentines" and share the love!
And if you are like me facing the challenge of you life- "here's to you" hoping that for every doubt, you have years of love and support knowing that you have all you need- to get moving and once you shine so bright no one's going to want to dim your light, not unless you let them- so don't.

How can one change the world if one identifies oneself with everybody?
that's good for you, if you need any cvs sent to you, let me know
ReplyDeleteyeah, if you do need anyone to employ- let us know too- you'll most definitely get lots of help.
ReplyDeleteits a good thing you're doing you know.
Lovely post. I couldn't have put it better. Only few people have the courage to follow their hearts. Don't let the doubts or the difficulties along the way discourage you in any way :-)Good luck!
