Spurred on by Sarah and Jess. I am going to post a little somethin' about my life lately. Not being one to cast the first stone (I strictly cast stones on a retaliatory basis) I mostly want to talk about me.
This last month has been so many things all rolled into one, but at the heart of it all is an opportunity. I've been so blessed to have such a supportive group of people from all over the country step up and show the love. I wish there was a way to thank all of you in person with an off key rendition of "You are the Wind Beneath my Wings" but fortunately for you I won't. But the sentiment is there.
Currently things I have going for me in no particular order:
a) Northern Arizona University is about an hour from my parents house and I've been put in contact with a professor who may be able to help me out with funding for my masters. Unfortunately she is on sabbatical for a semester, so the program wouldn't start until January. Which in Flagstaff is actually very cold and snowy...
b) I still hold a valid Kansas teaching license, so I could possibly find a job using my degree and license in or around Kansas City. There is a grassroots effort in the works campaigning for the city.
c) I have started looking into international volunteer organizations. As much as I've sat around feeling sorry for myself; I know my life is really not all that bad. I have an amazing support system, good health, family, nice hair... the list goes on. Seriously, though I am looking to make a difference, and what better way to do that than get out there and change the world. There are a few programs I am really interested in, but I am not sure I would be eligible to start sometime this year with deadlines and such.
I'll keep you all posted and pick your brains for advice, but for the first time in a long time, I will be making the decsion for ME!
In the meantime, I will be baking cupcakes and cooking dinner for anyone in the area.
And I make damn good cupcakes...
