Challenge for Day 22: "My Dream Job." I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with and help families. But I didn't want to be a Social Worker. I took kind of a round about way to get to my dream job. And to be honest, part of my daily work IS social work. But I still wouldn't change my journey to be here. I feel I'm the best at my job because of the unique path that got me here. I'll probably write more in depth about this one day. For now, I am in my dream job and have been since 2004. My secondary dream job is the family centre we created together, as a family, as a legacy project, in memory of Bretton and Ciara. This led to opportunities that opened a door at our hospice, for a position I had not ever dreamed of having but from the moment it was gifted to me, I've cherished this position. The work is incredibly hard but it is also so humbling and honoring to be invited in to the grief and dying journeys that our clients present to us. I started in a very part time position as a grief counsellor and am now the Director of the Grief Support Program, with staff and a team of volunteers. Every day is precious and I continue to be thankful for those who believed and trusted in my natural and learned abilities. And all the kids, teens and adults I've worked with over the years. All they have taught me continues to support others. Truly, a dream job.
Are you in your dream job?
