I’ve been doing some soul-searching this week. As is seeming the norm for me as of late, I’m in the market for a job again. So once again, I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I want to do something that I’m passionate about, but I seem to have a hard time finding something that fits the bill. More than anything, I’d love to pour myself full-time into a position that supports the IBD and ostomy community, but until one comes my way, I’m going to have to find a day job.
I had a great lunch today with some social media/SEO/internet experts that I’ve “known” online for a while, but have never actually met until this afternoon. It was encouraging seeing people doing what they enjoy and made me want to strive for something more.
I want my life to mean something, when it’s all said and done. And I don’t want to look back at those 40 hours every week and not be proud of what I did. So I’m taking my time and figuring out where I want to go from here.

I just blogged about this. I feel the same. I was meant for something great but not sure what!! Could I just be playing it safe? I feel too young and too old all at once.

I can def look back and know I did wonderful things for both my patients and families. Now I work for a large corp. and it is def challenging. I like it here too but in a different way. You are so driven you will find that special job! Good luck!
