Putting it out there

Dear Universe,

I am working on me.  Trying to find my way to the new and improved mommy version of Karey, while retaining some of the pre-mommy qualities I seem to have lost along the way.  And so, I am putting my desires out there in hopes that perhaps something will come along for me.

I am smart.  It is important for me to stretch my brain in ways that do not involve the Disney channel.  I want to feel like I am having an impact in a greater way than my own home.  And so, I think it is time for me to find my way back to work.  Here is what I desire.

I want to work outside of the home two days a week.

I want to work recruiting, advising, counseling people.  Account management would fit in that too.  I am excellent at speaking with people and connecting them with jobs, training, educational programs, or classes to help them move into the next place for their lives.

I have a master's in education.  I have experience in all of the things I listed above.  Most of my professional experience is in higher education and non-profit.

I like bringing people together.  I am constantly seeing ways to improve systems or move causes forward.

I am an excellent writer and editor, and although I do not want to do that exclusively (it can be awfully isolating) I do enjoy it as a part of my work.

I want to work in a company that truly understands the importance and power of a happy workforce.  You are no better than the people who work for you.  I want to work for a company, and a boss, who believes that deeply and shows it in their actions.  I require an environment that will support my love and obligation to my family, and trusts me to do that, and get my job done above expectations at the same time.  It must be more important that I do my job, than that I sit at my desk for certain hours.  Not to worry though, I want to be at that desk very much, as trying to sit at home and do my job with my kids just sounds like adding to my stress and chaos, not the diversity and interest of my life.

This is an intention setting.  If someone out there happens to read it, and has some brilliant idea to connect me with, even better.  Otherwise I will begin moving myself more practically to my end goal early next year.

I look forward to seeing where this intention brings me.  I seek wholeness of self, part career, part community, part family.  I have a great deal to give when I allow all parts of my self to shine.

Sincerely,
Karey
