Making contacts

In the last few months i've been working diligently (or rather more diligently than my usual wont) to make new contacts and firm up the existing ones I have.  I've done a few searches on people that I would like to reach out to and i've reconnected with a few others.  My LinkedIn profile is evolving - I've joined professional groups - I read lots of stuff from others.

The reason for doing this is to further my efforts to find my purpose.  Its not that I believe these people can do something specific for me, maybe they can;  it's more my hope that just being in touch with them will open different doors for me.  Doors that I had not thought to peek into before.

My friend, Caryn, is finishing her undergrad degree online.  That was never something I had considered because I didn't think I had the discipline to do what was needed.  I knew other people who were able to go far...aside from just the undergrad.  Another friend not only finished her undergrad and became a nurse but then went on to become a Nurse Practitioner.  Yes, she is nearly 50 years old but she made a goal for herself and saw it to fruition.  THAT to me is finding your purpose.
So Caryn is going through SUNY Empire State - and she encouraged me to look into it as well.  I'm terrified of the debt that I already have for college...but I am intrigued by the idea of finishing my degree NOT in Business management because ICK YUCK that is what i am currently embroiled in.  Business.  and I don't want to be in "business"  BUT there are other things like BS in Human Development w/concentration in Psychology or BS in Public Affairs w/concentration in Criminal Justice. SO much more interesting and I'm pretty confident that I have tons of credits that will roll into those degree options. Thank you Caryn and Cheryl for your inspiration to start.

As I start this process, (i've requested my transcripts from SCCC & Adelphi) beginning with an information session on the 19th and hopefully moving on from there, i will blog about it.  I'm hopeful that I have the willpower to go through with it.  I pray that I will find my purpose while embroiled within it.  and I encourage everyone to take a step towards doing something that will make a change for them.

Look for more from me on this....  if anyone is even reading any of this. :)

Stay tuned.
