The Search is Over, Now it's Exploration Time-September 5, 2013

I decided to change the name of my blog from "Finding my Passion" to "Exploring my Passions". Like everything else I have evolved since I began my journey. In the 31 months since I have found myself shattered I have found more depth and strength then I ever thought possible. Dreams I had dismissed I have recovered and nothing is impossible now. I am now doing what I had only thought a dream many years ago. There has been sadness, stress, loss, frustration, exhaustion, sorrow, lack of privacy, disappointment-lots of disappointment but, there has also been understanding, persistence, learning, mind expanding, shift in paradigm, relationship gifts, new friends, new experiences, new family members, patience, joy, laughter and such I have been given such grace in my life. I have been blessed with a new grandchild in the past 31 months. I am filled with gratitude in this moment.

More Work=More Tired but Happy-September 3 2013

Oh Boy, I was just offered a permanent part time position at the women's shelter. I feel like the hard work is paying off. I've been working some pretty crazy hours at the men's shelter since last Friday.Have one more 8 hour day then a day off before another midnight shift. Feel so tired I feel sick today so I need to have a good night sleep tonight so I can cope with all that is all my plate, all good stuff though.
Got offered the permanent part time position at the women's shelter earlier today and although I am very happy about it, I have to figure some problematic shifts out now. Back to back shifts in different places and getting coverage for a trip out west to see my sister the very day I am suppose to start. I know I will make it all work. I feel extremely grateful and happy.
