A little about yourself...
I left my job at the United States Postal Service 2 years ago to care for a nephew in a Foster Child situation. Without a college degree I would have no idea where to begin a job search. ^^ I AM, however, trying to make the most of this time off & explore my strengths for the first time in my life.

I do a great deal of volunteering at my youngest son's school and head up quite a few programs/committees for them. It is AMAZING being able to assist in this way. I have found that I am much more capable than I had ever dreamed and am growing in leaps & bounds. Such growth is not possible in your average workplace. It's nice to feel useful.

Paycheck or no paycheck, every single act or conversation moves and changes the world. It's a scary, uncomfortable, & unique time for me.
