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.

I love this: "Be completely in your emotions, as it is being TRUE to who you are." Nicely said.

Another great thing come in 3's...I found 3 spelling errors! :)

I know what you mean by those who you've made the deal of if we're both single at 30 let's just get married. Why is it that we settle on the age of 30?

I hope to be married and have a child by that age...but at this rate I think I'll be joining you in an old wooden rocking chair. MAYBE we can chill on the same porch. Now THAT word should add a little youth to you..."chill". Third paragraph done. Had to make it. Good things come in 3's!
