still slightly overwhelmed

The amount of paper that is generated within this course that I am taking is extreme. Add that to the fact that I have a "thing" about paper and you can see how it can be exhausting. On the other hand however, it is making me much more in alignment with me and the skills that I do have to offer out there in the land of the real world. Lots of possibilities showing themselves so now it is simply up to me to get out there and market me......

One of the exercises was one where we write up a 2 or 3 minute blurb in response to the comment.....So tell me a little bit about yourself. We had to talk about our work, what our skills are and our interests and passions. When I stood up and shared ME with everyone, I got a resounding WOW. And to make it even better, I too went WOW as I realized that I have a lot of skills to bring to the table and don't feel so weird talking about the work that I do. It is all about the presentation and sharing my own belief in myself. So that is huge.

Am now leaning towards work in the field of Elder Care and recreational activities for this segment of the population. Has a lot to do with the fact that my own father is in a Care facility. I know that I get a huge boost when I see the faces of these old folks light up in my presence so hoping that I can find something in that field. It would also be fun to work in entertainment but I am trying to be realistic and while I like the fast paced action life out there in the world, I know that I only have so much energy and would rather make a difference in the world in a more heartfelt way.

One of the other areas that has shown up is working in the field of voice over work, particularly cartoon voice overs or commercial work. I have a good speaking voice so have contacted a woman I know who runs classes in voice over work. That would be a good way to make some money too, especially in Hollywood North so we'll see what happens there.

I couldn't sleep much last night. Woke up at 4 a.m. and just tossed and turned until 6 a.m. so am now waiting for the gym to open to go and sweat out whatever it is that is making me anxious today.

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
