As I write today, and it has been a while since I added a post, I realize that change is imperative. I look forward to that and yet, have some anxiety. I am challenged today because for so many years I was trained to maintain the box. Get myself trained, get a job, keep a job. However, contrary to the plan to maintain, things don’t always work that way.
At 51, I have arrived at the new age and culture just like everyone else. Traditional jobs are not traditional anymore. Creativity is in the forefront and any resemblance of maintaining in this new culture says that you must allow your creativity to flow. That may be a challenge for some of us old-schoolers. However, challenges are allowed for our growth, to become all that God intended us to be. Graphic design and writing are my two fields of choice to express my creativity. This post is an outlet for that creativity and will be a commitment to express myself on a regular basis.
The job market is a challenge these days. As a single mom again, I have arrived at a place of understanding the challenges, but more than that realize that I have a creative spirit and I would like that spirit to shine bigger and brighter than ever before. The longer I live, the less time I have and having arrived at this place in my life, I want to maximize the time that I have. I thank God I’m still here, challenges and all. I appreciate the opportunity to allow God to do what He wants to do with me and will allow the creative spirit within me to flow.
