I'd been at my new job a total of nine days...and all of a sudden I was back into the job search. The non-profit I was working for was merging with another non-profit and all three of our employees were being terminated. What a shock! But amazingly I was pretty calm about it. There was a peace that was brought on with the news.
Now that's not to say over the last month, there has not been SEVERAL days of sheer fear and self-esteem bombs! Not many individuals can take such a blow in their lives and not have bouts of doubt and confusion. Its just human nature, pure and simple.
But now a more clear mission has begun to take focus in my professional life. Perhaps it is a passing fancy or it may be my life's calling. I am beginning a path towards graphic designing...yes newsletters, websites, publications and social media. But it also may include photography assistance, digital scrapbook projects...its an open book in world that is becoming more and more digital every day.
All I can say is since I made the decision to pursue this path, the peace is back. I'm excited and I don't feel so lost. My wonder is...had I went down this path when I was a senior (yes, I wanted to do graphic design in college) where would I be now? No one will ever know...and I'm not regretting the decision at all.
Stay tuned and take life minute by minute.
