Jobs I’ve had in the past were in retail of a couple types. One was working with clothing and such. J C Penny and Fashion Bug were the two stores I worked at back in the 1990’s. Then, from 2017 to 2020 I worked at The Home Depot. But those were positions I considered jobs. At one time I was high school English teacher. Now, that was my career. But was that my calling or what I was meant to do? No. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed teaching. But writing is where my heart is. Intrinsically I get great joy in creating stories, and when I complete one of my books there is a huge sense of accomplishment. I have the Holy Spirit to thank for that, because he helps me every step of the way. Without God I can do nothing on my own and have it turn out well.
The jobs and careers I’ve had, and the one I still have (writing) are great tools to look back on and learn from. Such tools include working with people, working with merchandise, following rules, learning from mistakes made, and going that extra mile when the energy is not there. So much is gained from all of it. Do I have regrets? Yes. Do I regret experiencing those regrets? No. Learning from them and thinking about what I could have done or said better or differently is where those experiences are at and where they’ve taken me.
WRITE TIME AND AGAIN
