    Skills - essay form

    I'm going to move forward with my next essay. Even if I don't get feedback, maybe talking this out will help me to see some connections. It was the my second year on an island in Japan. The island has three towns and is in one of the furthest southern prefectures. The name of the island...

    What's on your mind?

    Trying to figure out what it means each time a woman of position touches my arm in passing at different times I've been speaking with someone (usually a man, maybe another one in leadership) I can't seem to find anything but only when a woman touches a man. Maybe for interrupting my...

    What's on your mind?

    Alls I can say is northerners are much more rough than the polite yes ma'am I get when I'm in Arkansas with my cousins kids (young 20s). It could just be the pub, Michigan is a pretty large state, I've never been north. Lansing, Holland, Kalamazoo, Ann arbor and southwest Michigan is where I've...

    Dreams and visions

    Sounds like how I would interpret it. I have multiple dreams every night and some of them are very clear with God speaking. As far as visions, my biological father would have them and he expected I would inherit that gift also. But I have not seen that so much. No pun intended. Someday I will...

    It was spring if my 2nd year of college, my Oldsmobile broke down and I didn't know what I'd do for a summer job. Not long after an application arrived in the mail to become a tour ambassador guide for the University. 7 out of 120 applicants would be chosen along with room and board paid. I was...

    Can someone help pick out skills I might have out if one of the essays I've written? I have to write seven stories and pick up what some of my skills are. The first story I wrote I had no problem but the second one, which is a brief summary of an essay I wrote to get a job in Japan. Thanks in...

    What's on your mind?

    Good meeting with someone from church I see twice a year. She's doing everything to get me connected and plugged in. I shared this song with her last November and forgot till she shared. Powerful. I told her some of the women in church I noticed on Sunday I'm curious to here their stories. She...

    What's on your mind?

    Yes, it was a weird situation at the time and handled very immature at the time. Communication was not there. I also was nervous because I had to wear a wig at the time and no one knew. The guy that was interested in me seemed shallow and I was afraid of him finding out. The other guy that I...

    Side Hustle Central

    One of the things I've been thinking about as an investment is building networks and relationships. As I've given into relationships it has returned in physical ways. I also share some of things like clothes and gardening. I'm volunteering at different sporting events to also build towards...

    What's on your mind?

    Thanks for making a thread for side projects. @.Mikha'el. I had a weird situation where I was conflicted with two dudes that were friends expressing interest at the same time. It was a bit different, but a guy was interested in me. He was a police officer 30 miles from me that was working...

    Ahh, thanks for the clarification. Will continue prayer as you journey. Praying is probably best. It sounds like the timing doesn't seem right if she's not active on the site and your looking to get a job situation straightened out.

    Never been, that's neat that you got to visit. Sorry to hear it's not been looking like an affordable option. Praying as you journey, think and pray about a decision. And that one door closed leads to another open.

    What's on your mind?

    I've started a plan to get back into updating my resume and reading materials from the library to help. I'm nearing retirement but will not have enough to retire, but it's not practical to stay in snowplowing past 58. I'm taking the time right now to read What color is your Parachute and take an...

    What's on your mind?

    All the more reason to postpone purchase of a newer car. Going another summer no AC and continue building my car maintenance and savings fund for another while interest rates are high. It's probably cheaper for me to do a rental in October for my race and visit with my sister. Gotta get out of...
