Peace With Not Knowing

Posted by in Marlene's Musings | 0 comments

Marlene’s Mid-Life Diary

The recruiter called today and told me I did not get the job. I had very mixed feelings of disappointment and relief. The thought of a 9-5 job did not make me happy, the income did.

She said the hired someone who already knew the software systems who would require no training. I told her I would be open to part-time work if they still needed help. Truth is that feels better and less restrictive to me.

Meanwhile I have to find a way to feel comfortable in this place of not knowing. Maybe my being brought full circle was to test my ego, to see if I had the humility to go wherever I am led. In any case I have relaxed into trusting that something better is in store for me.

My passion has always been storytelling whether that involves writing or imagery. Following this passion, I built a 20-year career licensing my unique hand painted illustrations and product designs to renowned companies in the gift, paper, and home décor categories. My clients include Waterford Wedgwood, Tiffany & Co., George Caspari, Shurman Fine Papers, Block China, Simon & Schuster, Random House, Cartier, Shaw Living, Stephen Lawrence, and many more. To view samples of my artwork, just go to http://www.createdigitalart.com/designers/marlene.php. Now, my passion has taken me to blogging, compiling, and sharing stories of people who in their own small way have made a difference in someone’s life; stories that have the amazing ability to reawaken our senses to experience everything that is and can be good in the world and connect us with each other.
