I have had more opportunities present themselves to me today.
I should let you know that I never went for the financial services interview. The morning of the interview the headhunter called to discuss salary prior to my meeting with the firm (one of the downsides to going through a head hunter...I can sell myself better than they ever could). The hiring company's maximum salary offer did not come anywhere close to my current salary. I knew I would not consider the position without at least matching what I'm making at a job that I love to do. Needless to say the headhunter and I both agreed that the interview would waste both my time and the time of the financial firm, seeing as our numbers were not close. That being said, I knew the offer would have had to be something special, not only to change my current "plans" for the future, but also to get me back into the financial industry.
I put the word "plans" in quotations, because although I put out there all the things I would love to do...I know that whatever plans I try to control will only be at the mercy of what the Universe has in store for me when it hears what I'm really asking.
My "plans":
- to work for the school board in a part-time capacity, for both the permanent long-term job security and the benefits, but also to continue working and learning in the field of education, in a role that I have loved doing
- to continue working as the studio manager for my vocal teacher, because I love to help and make a place better and more organized and because I love her and love helping her too
- to take my slower summer months "off" and start my own administrative consulting company (with me as my only employee), an administrative specialist of sorts, helping individuals along with both small and large businesses with all of their administrative needs.
- to make black-raspberry jam again this summer!!! ;)
- to someday run for school-board trustee, because I really feel like I can make a difference
- to continuing persuing the performing arts and maybe someday doing any or all of them professionally (still more of a dream than anything else)
- to continue writing as much as I can
What I actually ask of the Universe every moment:
- to be my most successful both professionally and financially
- to make a difference where ever I am
- to continue to love passionately and be loved by others in all that I do
- "The be the Best for Me. To be the Best for the World Around Me."
So with the honest heartfelt request of the above I know my "plans", albeit hopeful, are only thoughts in my head, and not necessarily where I will end up.
After the school interview last week, I was offered the job of the 0.25 assistant in September and I accepted it. Today I received a phone call and will be interviewing for another 0.25 for which I applied. And then, much to my delight and heartfelt gratitude, I received an email from a parent hoping not to offend and asking for my resume for a position which might interest me.
I have no idea what the Universe has in store for me. But am I ever excited! I trust that the next part of my journey will be amazing and fantastic. I have faith that I will make a difference and play an important role. I believe that I will be doing something that will be the best for me and the best for the world around me.
Tonight I thank the Universe for everything I cannot plan and am grateful for all that I have received. :) I am truly blessed!
With Love
