I truly believe that everything I have done in my life up to this point has prepared me for what I am doing right now. I used to be apologetic about my varied career - it seemed like I was always doing something new, but now I see that I am a "start-up" person. I am the one that comes in - whether I am hired or just launching something new - get things up and running, work out all the bugs, do all the creative, inventing, and then when others start "working" the business, taking over some of the tasks from me (usually because I am doing more new things and run out of time to get everything done), I am ready to slowly start backing out, releasing tasks, and eventually working my way out of my job.
This has described all the jobs I have had to this point - working for others and working for myself. Along the way I have picked up skills and talents that have led me down different roads. I've always enjoyed my work, have been relatively successful, and have made a living.
To describe my work now, I would have to say I am a Heritage Maker Founding Director, a custom engraver, an administrator (New Century), a director (school play), a wife, a mom, a friend, and more. I am so happy and grateful for my full and happy life! I have a good husband, 3 beautiful children, a beautiful home, and many wonderful friends and extended family members. We are all healthy, happy and fine. Life is good.

You sound like an interesting woman with a varied career life. I, too, used to apologize for all the jobs I had. As an Occupational Therapist, I usually had at least 3-4 jobs at a time. I have always worked in rural areas where there is much more need and very few OTs.
Then I realized that all my experiences and opportunities made me the fascinating woman I am now.

I used to live in Kansas too....Coffeyville.
ooooops.!!! I see now that you live in Hutchinson MN....Not KS.
silly me
Hi Susan -
Thanks for your comments - isn't it wonderful that we can all be unique? I have spent the last month and a half directing a play at my daughter's high school - it was called HONK! and we had a blast. Unfortunately it consumed me for all that time - that's why I am so late in commenting.
Now, off to the next activitiy. I work part-time at the school, am a founding consultant for Heritage Makers, and am looking right now for another part-time position - maybe even as a Virtual Assistant! That really intrigues me. I'd better get going with my marketing - it's such fun! Take care - have a great week!
