My Journey through A Year With Myself has consistently
aligned with my Journey with Social Security’s Ticket-to-Work Program.
I
found MODULE 38:
GREAT WORK Building An Authentic Strategy for
Doing Your Greatest Work deLIGHTfully serendipitous. I think my
little sabbatical taken back in August and early September was also timely as
it turns out THIS VERY WEEK is the one where I have been asked to recreate my “resume”
to BEgin work with my Job Coach.
Sometimes I have BEcome agitated with the time it has taken
for all this to get completed and to each next phase. And then, with a simple
backward glance, I see that the timing is actually quite wonderful.
Funny how that happens, eh?!
As I have participated online with Lisa Sonora Beam and read her book, The Creative Entrepreneur
prior to BEginning A Year With Myself, I was quite inspired to find her Vision
Interview full and overflowing with goodness, inspiration, and just the sort
of just-in-time and at-the-right-time insights.
In particular, mindful of her
term, Cosmic Job Description, I have
found the entire resume dog-and-pony show to BE so much more fun and effective
than trying to conform to the standard and dull-as-chalkdust process.
And though there are still parts and pieces that I am attempting
to bring into a whole for my meeting with said Job Coach this week, I don’t
feel in the least bit at odds with it. This is an extraordinary sweetness for
me, she-who-likes-to-BE-prepared.
The “greatest” gift of this glorious intersection: I Now
Know Myself. [at least far better than when the two processes BEgan in
January]
AND, I am able to BE straightforward, clear, and concise about the work
I am looking for.
What I really want to DO/BE.
Same as I am able to sit down and write this post without
feeling the least bit of angst. After 9+ months of posting on my blogs this
year I am no longer intimidated or overwhelmed by posting.
This is quite nice. And so different from how I WAS thinking
of all this BEfore January.
My GREAT WORK is the work that engages my heart and myriad
skills/skillsets to make a difference, no matter how small nor how far-reaching.
Like Lisa, I have had a difficult time defining what I DO and have done, writing
a bio, or wrapping any of this succinctly inside that simple document the World
of Work likes to “have” on someone. A resume…
I have learned through my Year With Myself that I don’t
HAVE-TO fit inside someone else’s box. Or DO things someone else’s way.
My way
is good, for me, and I am ENOUGH. As I am. As I am NOT.
