One of the oddest things that people ask when trying to get to know another is, what do you do for a living? You’re profession does not define you. Let’s say it louder for the people in the back… YOUR PROFESSION DOES NOT DEFINE YOU. It is a piece for who you are but at the end of the day (retirement) it will be the other pieces of you that will come together to make your life complete. Whether that be a Little League parent, 4-H leader, small business owner, chicken momma, kitchen arts lover, homestead follower, Copper Cities Player, friend of the library, adventurer, traveler, follower of Christ, Little sister, auntie, lover, friend, mommy- all of these pieces of who I am make up so much more then just who I am at work. Granted , I have an important job that I’ve worked hard for, but I alway have friends and family that love and care about me regardless of what I do for a living. That, to me, makes me the richest gal in the world. Through my triumphs and failures, one thing remains… I still have love in my life.
Thankfully, that was not the main question I was asked when my tribe found me, instead we celebrate each other, bring our strengths to the table and help each other when ever possible. In speaking with a local friend the other day she mentioned “wholesome people that never expect anything in return” and that is literally what it is. A rare find this day in age.
My advice… choose your peace and find that kind of tribe in life. You won’t regret it.
