The First Day of the Rest of My Life

As I sit here at my desk in my home office I am delighted to be able to share with you a part of my life.
But first, let’s play catch-up. Up until a year ago, I was self employed for 15 years. Last October, I returned to the world of full-time employment. As a Parent Educator / Visiting Teacher, I traveled to the homes of families with children under 2 years of age. Each day was different as I got to play with babies and empower their parents. It was, indeed, the ideal work experience, however, as I was nearing the end of my 1 year contract I began to feel this pull. It felt like Spirit was challenging me to be more expansive in my own right. As I would go through my day, I would have visions about what I wanted to do, but Spirit would not let me ignore the thoughts. I kept hearing ‘you can do that’. I was open and I listened.
During my last 2 weeks of work I had mixed emotions. Although I knew I was doing the right thing, I felt reluctant to say good bye to my babies. I had seen some of them grow from infancy, watched each of them through their developmental milestones and bonded with their parents.
I remainded true to myself however and October 8th became my last day of my work year, BUT the first day of the rest of my life.

Good morning, Kinyofu!!! Thank you for the choose to evolve word “chicken”. That was so helpful to me because at times people do say things to you ,about you that affects your self esteem every day. I am now starting to do my affirmations every day after reading the bible. Girl it has made a big difference for me. I now know that, who I am is great, wonderful and magnificent and just the way God planned for me to be. I will be checking out your site more often and sharing it. God bless you and I am so happy for your excellence with this site and following through on your dreams. Genee’ PS in the Spring time we must go dancing again, promise. (smile) Genee’
