Volunteering & Volunteer Students

I officially resigned today.     (To read my letter, click here.)

The face to face 'sit down', the knowing smile, then hand over the letter.

ALL

IS

GOOD

I also gave L a lead; a couple whose house will be a challenge to sell as well as being a challenge to assist in finding their next.    Cha Ching!  Can you say REFERRAL FEE?   I just may have a chance to make a profit in real estate after all.

I was advised to 'get out there.'     Don't sit at home and be sucked into the 2 dimensional world called INTERNET...    It's possible that my next big career is quietly waiting for me to discover it?

A wonderfully fascinating place to visit if you have time on your hands and skills to offer:   Volunteer Match.   I've signed up to assist with a Reading & Literacy effort at a local library.   Training starts in January.   Shall I volunteer to help seniors understand Medicare?    Could I be one of those dear souls who just 'be there' and hold a hand so no one dies alone?    Perhaps handing out cookies at a blood drive....   Or throwing the hammer at Habitat for Humanity     and Homes For Our Troops.   I am making phone calls to inquire about more pet therapy visitations, too.

I want to take a few classes at the community center...   Web Design, Grant Writing, Creative Writing, Pie Making,  BE-Your+Best (rah rah) classes, etc.      I would love to take a Yoga class and definitely a self-defense class.   

I am afraid of commitment.   I'm afraid of over-committing!    I'm terrified of a schedule, having been without one for so long;  I really REALLY enjoy my slow pace.

As I like to say to my Hub,

"It takes a lot of time just to be me."    

 But it's time I give back, give more...
