Passionately Yours, Rachel

By Rachel | Published June 22, 2012

People without passion confuse me. My passions have changed over time. They have refined and developed into the work I’m currently creating for myself today, but I’ve always had passion for something.

There Ain’t No Power Like The Power of the People

By Camila | Published June 8, 2012

Recently I’ve been pondering the significance of what one of my college professors once said: “Every action or inaction you take is a political statement.” Since losing my job in the non-profit sector, it seems I’ve taken an unintentional hiatus from being consistantly in this mindset. Last month I went to a protest with one of my friends, reigniting my zeal for social justice. It made me ecstatic to know that I’m still familiar with the old protest chants, that I still get enraged by injustice, and that I require the knowledge of the world’s happenings and must leave my hiatus of apathy by the wayside.

On Writing My Own Job

By Sarah | Published April 29, 2012

I never pictured myself the entreprenurial type. The idea of striking out and doing anything on my own felt painfully uncomfortable. I don’t know anything about running a business. How could any take me seriously?

I’m a super rule follower. That’s probably why I ended up with a government major and a government job. The government provides tons of manuals and rules and requirements. You don’t have to come up with anything yourself. In fact, it would best if you didn’t.

When Things Don’t Go The Way You Thought, Make a New Way

By Sarah | Published April 1, 2012

Some days I do well.

I take care of the house. Put away all the laundry. Plan dinner. Keep Kate happy. Take time to blog. Write. Think about me and my path.

And some days I don’t do well.

I followed My Plan. And Then It Blew Up.

By Sarah | Published March 25, 2012

I started my career in county government as a camp counselor. Charged with a dozen five-year-olds, I spent my summer leading sing-a-longs, helping chubby fingers hold paint brushes, and making sure no one drowned at the local pool.

I loved everything about that job. The kids ate me up, vying to sit in my lap, wanting to know if I could move in with them and their families. After that summer I knew I had to get serious about a profession, so I lapped in all that goodness and tried to hold onto the fun and responsibility of my summer camp career.

Passion, Paying the Bills, and Knowing Myself

By Bri | Published March 24, 2011

I skip home and do the thing that I actually LOVE to do; I write. The internet is full of freelancing independent rockstars, and lately I have been wondering if I could/should do that with my life too. If writing is what I love to do, should I be pursuing all possible roads to making this my career?

Meaning in the Mountains

By Alisha | Published September 10, 2010

I went to Colorado to get away–to vacate. I went to breathe the fresh air, worship the mountains, drink in the sunsets. I went to love. I went to share. I went to be inspired. I went to be still. Instead, my days were filled with tension. My Blackberry wasn’t on my hip, but I could hear it buzzing in my purse. Each morning I woke up well before dawn, unable to sleep, anxious about work.

B2C – “Business to Casual”

By Doniree | Published August 10, 2010

Having established a few things such as the fact that I used to work in advertising, I’m a certified yoga instructor that’s been too scared to teach, and I find myself overwhelmed by Too Many Possibilities, this is the background info on that “used to work in advertising” part of the story.
