Well to everyone who has followed my blog about the upside of unemployment I happily have had to change the blog since I am now employed. I am working as the Director of Development for an organization that provides solar panels to hospitals in The Gambia. Power Up Gambia is a relatively young but very focused and very dedicated organization to help hospitals and clinics provide the much needed medical care to the people by providing the hospital with electricity. Something we never really think about in our own day to day lives.
I am very lucky. I was able to work on my own terms and have chosen to be apart of this organization. When asked why I wanted this job my answer was - this is out of my comfort zone. I have realized that I am very good at my career path, in-spite of set-backs, I have always committed myself 110% to the organization I am employed by, but for the most part I have come into a position after some else left or was fired, now at Power Up Gambia, the development program is mine to take to the next levels. I am the first professional development person they have. I also have to admit that I had no idea where The Gambia actually was and had to Wiki it. If you do you will find a link to Power Up Gambia on the Wiki page for The Gambia.
I am happy and each night I evoke my serenity by believing that I can make a difference in people's lives and that my internal serenity will continue to enhance my life on a daily basis.
Now it's time to enjoy the evening, enjoy my glass of wine and figure out what to eat for dinner.
My you find serenity throughout your day.
