i am beside myself with joy right now because i just found out that i might at long last have a mentor in seattle. exhale. i have always had a mentor for my personal/spiritual life and my professional life. since moving to seattle, that area has been completely neglected. i've met women who seem to be doing awesome things professionally but don't really seem available for coaching. on top of that, everyone wants to be a life coach these days and what used to pass for normal mentoring/relationship building is now a session that requires a fee. it's so disheartening. because those women didn't get where they are today alone. someone mentored them and groomed them for success.
i'm not a lost cause. i have vision and passion and motivation. i simply need someone to glean from as i chart my course in this life. and i need someone to counsel and advise me to stay on track. sometimes i need an ear to talk through my plan, other times i need assistance with making the right connections and other times i just need to see an example of someone who has advanced to where i desire to be someday. it's pretty simple. yet, for the last three years, it has been mia. that truly explains why i feel so lost from a career perspective. i have a plan but i'm flailing in the sea - not quite sinking, not quite staying afloat - of career success. my upward mobility has gotten stuck in neutral so i'm coasting alone rather than moving full speed ahead. it's a horrible feeling.
today i celebrate because finding a mentor is one of the many things on my vision board for this year of my life. i'm trying to achieve some things that so far, no one has had a desire to assist with. it's okay because i know timing is everything and as i've said a few times before, this season of transition is birthing major growing
