Another 3 years down and not Forgotten

So I really like the number three, I know its prime, great things happen in threes, including sneezes which I love, and it’s a Holy Number. It seems as though every three years my itch to write returns and I need to catch people up. So here it goes…

Radius church is now behind me, though there are days I hope for reconciliation with people, I will just let time take its course with that. It took almost a year and half and some counseling to feel comfortable in a church again, I have now been at a church and a member of that church for about 2 years now. I consider it home and it has this great un-perfect community that I love. The REV there and I click and are able to hang out and not feel like I am with the REV.

They last time I wrote a post like this I was 5 moths into a new recruitment firm where I ended up staying for three years, these years were great at sometimes and painful at others. During this time though I established myself as a recruiter and a networker, finding my strengths and putting them to work. I left that firm and returned to college recruitment in hopes that I could keep growing my network and get some space to continue to find out what I want to do with my life. Not quite panning out the way that I wanted to, but I am learning and have for years tried to learn I can’t plan out life. In this moment I am still growing my network in hope to connect more people to their dreams and wants, and I actually got to speak on Blog radio about this, and have been on 2 panel groups sharing my networking and recruiting process. I have found that I love work just don’t know what job I will always want, which I want to make a goal, but afraid I wont find it.

Significant things in the last three years have been abundant. I am now 30 and have some gray hair, I have not decided if its distinguished or just old. I have fallen in real love of my immediate and extended family, and thank Facebook and a wedding for brining us all back together. I am still single and though I don’t want to be I am ok with it, but will still keep looking. (See post below). The Trinity and my spirituality are constantly taking on new meaning in my life. I still fight Them for my own control and they continually stick around, Thanks Gang! Landmark Education has helped to change my life and perspective on my world getting out of the past, and realize what I have created. It has helped me renew, heal, and forgive the relationships in my life, especially the Trinity, whom I like to blame for everything that goes wrong. If you have heard of Landmark or not, you should take the opportunity to go. I know there is a lot out there both positive and negative, but I see how it works if you are open to it. JUST DO IT!

As I sit here there are so many things I could write about, but this gives some good perspective on the last three years. I have learned just be open to what comes. Take care of those in your life even when it is hard, as the return might surprise you. Be completely in your emotions, as it is being TRUE to who you are. I right now am frustrated with the economy, want to be seen for what I bring to the table vs. what is on my resume, I love my friends and the times we spend, and Please forgive my judging heart and the stories I create about you all from my past experience.

LOOKING FOR APPLICANTS! Turning 30 and JUST CHECKING..

Dear Friends, Family, Future Lovers,

Recently I took part in an amazing endeavor in turning 30! Some said I would never make it (Thanks MOM!), I thought about ending life, as I hate gray hair and my knees and shoulders hurt, and some (Those I am targeting with this BLOG) told me if I made it to thirty and was still single that we should get married or I wished you would say it!

Well LADIES I am now 30 and still single so I thought I would see who is out there and available, kind of a “The Bachelor” style blog, maybe catfight for my heart kind of thing. (Yes Sara Worley I do love the bachelor and I am saying it loud and saying it proud thanks for watching it with me all these years). See you all said it, or I said it and you agreed, and if we did not have this conversation you can still get in on all the fun. Kind of calling people to the table thing, and seeing who is up to the challenge

Here is a little about me: I live in Denver, CO and don’t know if I am ready to leave. I am 5’9’’, fairly athletic build, and I lost about 20lbs this last year. I have built a fairly successful career in recruiting and networking, and am constantly reinventing myself. I live alone in a great two-bedroom apartment that is decorated, and does not resemble a dorm room. I am thinking a house in the next year sounds good. I do want a family, but it does not have to start from date one, I like to be out on the town and not tied down.

Good facts for you to know, I love to cook and I cook well, I also like eating out nice places, but have a few towny bars I hang out at, I do go to church and it is part of my life, and probably not going to change, my friends are my life and I want to date someone that is both a significant other and a friend, I want to both go out and hang at be home together, I am looking for someone that is not trying to fix me. Someone that sees fun as an adventure and sees where it can go is great. I am not in college so boozing it up and out late need not apply. If I am just not into you dating wise it does not mean I don’t like you, I just am picky and am not going to settle when it comes to who I date.

So there you have it. If you want in on the action send me an email, reply to this blog, hit me up in the social media realm, if you have my number give me a call. Tell me about you and what you want, and include a picture. Must answer this question at a minimum: If we were on “The Bachelor” why would I give you the Final Rose? If roles were reversed you would give me a rose because I was genuine and I always looked you in the eyes first.

Love ya,

-Jared

Back Again

Currently I am sitting in a Starbucks in Winter Park just writing, thinking and watching people. I am going to try and kick out a few blogs today to get caught up. I have request for my now past 30th birthday, I have to write a new three years down and not forgotten, and we will see from there.

The Quick update: I turned 30 and yes I have some gray hair, I have been attending church and no the Trinity did not leave the building, I am still in sales, I have grown up a lot, I have almost 1700 friends on Facebook, I spoke on a radio blog ( http://tinyurl.com/SpencerConnect-Introducers2 ) , I still react to teasing, and tease in return, I have reconnected and spent time with my amazing family and really believe they are amazing, and I am living the sophisticated bachelor lifestyle or at least I think I am. I miss everyone theses days and I tear up (even now) thinking about them, life, and the future.


Please reconnect as I would love to hear where you are at.
