Life Got in the Way of Dying

Those of you that are following my blog this month know that I am taking the One Month To Live Challenge. I have been enjoying the change of focus from time pressed, rushed, overbooked, over-committed to my three focus points of:

• Loving Life
• Living Disciplines
• Sharing Hope

But yesterday...the FINANCES of living more than 30 Days hit.

I have been blessed to be a stay-at-home mom for 5 years now. I have been working part-time as a small business owner, Integrity Project Management and have partnered with a dear friend, Donna from TheWebCoach.net over the last year and 1/2. I have been so honored to work with people local, national and international and watch them take their dreams from an idea to reality.

This flexible schedule has allowed me to:

• Be Mom
• Be Wife
• Be Employee
• Be Employer
• Be Friend
• Be Encourager
• Be Volunteer

It has not however, been a huge financial support to my family. I NEVER went into business for huge monetary gains. Just enough to assist with the mortgage, food, gas and our kids activities. The goals was to allow me to be Mom and Wife. My husband and I agreed that "bread-winner" was not my primary role, but we understood that when the time came that the "Outs" were more than "Ins" , we would have to reevaluate our situation. Yesterday I got the nod...it's time.

Re-Evaluation Day

I pulled out the resume and made the appropriate updates. Immediately hit the on-line hiring sites:

I am never sure what to put in the search field. The only criteria I am sure of is that it has to be local because my community is my family and I choose to serve those I live with.

(NOTE: I have yet to find a job description looking for an passionate Life Lover looking to work her disciplines and share her hope to benefit a not for profit people focused company.)

I enter my experience, upload the resume and wait for responses.

I then check the freelance sites. DO the same process. And Wait...

OK now I can get back to Dying!
