Do you enjoy your job?

Every job I’ve ever worked, I’ve lived and given my utmost.

From the time I was 13-14, I was a babysitter and was the go-to for many parents in my church, it made me want to be a nanny.

When I was 16, I tutored a young girl from an elementary school within our district, I enjoyed that immensely and it furthered me wanting to be a nanny.

When I turned 18, I joined the US Army and loved it…to a degree. It was hard and it made me feel lonely at times but I learned a lot while in, and learned to love it, met people who still mean a lot to me years later.

While in Army, I went through nursing school and became an LPN, a profession I’ve worked about 20 of my 30 licensed years as. There were bad parts of the job, mostly to do with other nurses, bad work ethic, politics, drama, but when it came to patients, I’ve invariably always liked the job…even with those patients and families who others considered particularly challenging, I’ve always managed to find the positive there.

I’ve been a realtor for 11 years, it’s harder in today’s economy and costs me quite a bit to maintain my licensure, but I love being able to help others.

Last year after I lost my husband, I started a small business, working with social media early last year…it’s taken me several months to want to actually try at it, but I’m learning the ropes and hoping for the best, praying as I go and hoping it all pans out. It may be a while before I’m proficient or especially profitable, but I love a lot of what I see so far, from the coaching and support and the training that’s available on your own time. I’m sure, in time, I’ll learn to love this business too, I just have to get past the jitters of doing it and try…below are a few of the adverts I’ve been working on in my down time.

All the best,

A.
