Happy HR Professionals Day

The road to the seat of HR was a climb. I faced boulders of fire rolling down on me and harsh winds threatening to sway me off course. There were times I couldn't see the top, but I'm here. When I say the top I don't mean I have reached my peak in success, but I have ascended to a level where I can finally be of service. Service to people all over the world who deserve to work in healthy workspaces and walk proudly in their industry of choice because they can. I believe they can. I want them to know that they can. I dreamed about working in human resources. I prayed about it. I dedicated time, money, and brainpower. If you know my story, you know I went back to school to obtain my masters degree in human resources management after what seemed like a dead-end. Toxic job after toxic job. Quitting left and right in search of more. It was my purpose gnawing at me. Telling me to go for more and once I took that plunge, the world seemed to open up to me.

If you work in HR, I salute you. It isn't always an easy space to be in. Whether it is your dream career or just a way to provide for your family, it is your duty to work for the people. The people are the organization.

2022 Energy

At the tail end of 2021, I was ill. I had a handful of days off that I intended to use to pray and plan for the future of my business and my life in general but getting sick basically put a temporary stop to my world. I was barely able to function for about 5 days. I wasn't able to write, I couldn't concentrate long enough to read, and I had to be super careful about what I ate and drank. Fun right? What I found in the stillness is a lesson. Life is full of the unexpected. 2021 was victorious, but also plagued with sadness as I went through (and still go through) intense grieving over the loss of loved ones. This pandemic has also brought changes that no one saw coming in the workplace and how we access goods and services. Everything we're accustomed to can be wiped off the face of the earth in minutes, leaving you in confusion, frustration, and doubts. We can plan all we want (and we should) but at the end of the day God is the source that we should always seek to help us...

End of an Era

What do you tell the girl who wants to spend her life writing? Tell her no. Tell her she would be poor if she became a writer. Tell her "the money" is in another industry..in this case it was healthcare. Tell her that her writing skills are only useful in academia. Tell her that her gift is a hobby. I spent over a decade where I didn't belong.. I don't regret it because of the experiences and people I've met and grown with as a result of working in healthcare. I have the utmost respect and admiration for healthcare workers. It was just time to go..
