Hi my name is Chanel. About a month ago like a lot of the country, I entered the scary world of unemployment. While the idea of not being able to make my mortgage payment, watching my savings shrink and sinking into the black hole of depression because no one will call me about about my job applications, I decided to do something positive with my new found freedom. What is this something positive you ask? Well I have a ton of background experience in finance, admin support, childcare, and my own personal OCD problem with cleaning and organizing. As I sat at home, paying my bills, thinking about what I will do once my unemployment ends, it dawned on me! DUH! I should volunteer my services for people who really need them. So I have emailed local churches, schools and nonprofits in the area asking them if they know any single moms who needs a free babysitter or house cleaner, or if they know any elderly couples who could use some free meals brought to their house, or if they just need some help around the office! I'm hoping that with this project I'll maintain my sense of hope, dignity, and belief in humanity and that good begets good. If you are like me and having problems finding a job, I know what its like. I understand feel free to send me your personal stories. If you are a business owner who can hire, remember there are so many well qualified people who would do anything to be the best employee ever. And if you have a job and are secure, remember you are blessed. Don't take it for granted.
This blog is for romantics at heart, that good comes in the world. Evil doesn't win, and hero's show up in our lives everyday. It's not about a search for love, or about finding my place in the world, it's about taking advantage of my time and seeing what life will bring me! I cannot wait to see and meet the people who come into my life and share it with all of you! Wish me luck!!!!!!!! =)
