Like most jobs of this venue, some crises I am able to divert; some I am not. When I am able to divert a crisis, it is a soul-satisfying night. Most nights, I leave work, feeling that I have made a difference in someone's life.
Many years ago, I lived in San Francisco. I enjoyed meeting and learning about different people and cultures. When I returned home to Pennsylvania, I found I missed the melting-pot friendships I had in SF.
I love people and making friends. To that end, I have joined over 80 networking sites. Some are strictly social and some strictly money makers.
Only one has kept my interest and love: VIP COFFEE HUT. I'm proud to state I am now a Director, Social Development and Security for this site.
I have begun the journey to brand myself. Too often I have flitted from one business site to another. Of course, when that happens, I needed to begin all over again; searching through all my address books.
Through my own illumination, I have discovered I am a builder, rather than a body. I am a builder of friendships. Earning the trust and respect of my friends is another leg of the journey.
My nickname is SAM, and that is my name preference. I work at the local crisis-center and I'm a very positive thinker. I'm always impressed that I manage to land on my feet -- even when it seems such a long way off ! I do not stress over the glass being half-full OR half-empty....I GLORY THAT I HAVE A GLASS! I have one daughter, Suni, who is married to Ed, a Marine. Ed actually volunteered to go to Iraq. They are now stationed at 29 Palms, CA where Ed is a teacher in the Marine Corp. Suni is working on her elementary teaching certification, too. My household now consists of 2 cats. Poi from Hawaii and Carmelita from the no-kill shelter.
My Philosophy
Live life like there is no tomorrow...
live in the moment, for the moment,
like every moment has a purpose.
