Why I Love Squidoo
In this lens, I tell you my top 25 reasons, why I love squidoo. Please tell me ... Why do you love squidoo?
My past work is primarily in The Mental Health related field. I worked as a para-professional Therapist Technician Team Leader in a Residential Crisis Stabilization Unit. Funding changes in the industry left me and most of the para-professional direct care providers without jobs. I have spent my working life in fields that allowed me to learn a lot about a variety of topics. I have been a house manager in a domestic violence shelter, a second hand shop manager (for charity services that provided shelter to the homeless), and a variety of experiences both for pay and volunteer.
I have worked with children and adults in a variety of settings (educational, recreational, health & wellness, and spiritual growth). I am enrolled in the Jones International University BBA Degree program - Marketing Management, Global Marketing Stategies, and E-Commerce are my focus. I am an adult student preparing myself for a career change. I have completed 3/4 of the requirements for graduation.
Each step of the way I find my interests expanding. It is clear that my new knowledge and skills will benefit any area I set my mind to. I am a member of The SARK International Creative Dream Team. I am a daughter, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend. I enjoy music, gardening and reading. I am enthusiastic about everything that I do and every day is an opportunity to learn. I mentor women in various transitional living communities. This volunteer activity has been extraordinarily rewarding for me.
But For The Grace Of God There Go I
I believe that one of the most interesting things about me is that I have found myself being a volunteer liaison in every job or volunteer position I have been in throughout my life. Support in life seems to come from so many different areas of interest. People who have similar ideas, talents, professions, families, backgrounds, experiences, challenges and other points of commonality find enrichment in their lives by connecting with one another. Perhaps I am evolving through this kind of work because I find such satisfaction in watching people have those "I am not alone in this" moments. No matter what the challenges in life, there are people who are going through, or have gone through similar things, and connecting them can manifest great sources of growth and insight.
