Making A Smooth Exit

I feel amazing. At this moment, I am fully confident in my abilities to rule the world.... Give me a few minutes though and I'm sure I'll take that back, haha :)

I just figured out how I'm going to plug an interactive component into the listening session I'm facilitating tomorrow. I'm stoked because I was totally blocked for the last few days & struggling w/ the same old ideas. I'm feeling good about it especially because I want to leave a good impression for when I leave this position.

I found out not too long ago that my organization was losing the funding that would cover my position, so come September 17th I better have something else to do & get paid for. I'm looking into afterschool stuff. I miss working with kids & the hours are pretty chill. I'll definitely need to save my money VERY wisely though, because the pay isn't nearly as good as I would like.

It'll be a good thing though b/c I'll have more time to organize, challenge myself to think more creatively about how I can live sustainably, and maybe try some different pathways to income that I've been too busy for as of late. I'm really excited about starting to organize again, and hopefully with a solid organization. I went to an orientation for Critical Resistance last week. There were only a few folks there but they were really cool and answered all of the questions I had. It's good to have some background as to how they work before I just show up at a meeting. There are 2 more orientation sessions happening in the next 2 weeks & I'm pretty excited about them.

Also, just got an email from At the Crossroads, they want me to interview to become an outreach volunteer!!! WOOOOOT!!!

As I make my exit from one thing I'm looking forward to the new experiences that lay ahead.
