2. I can be negative toward myself, I hate that about myself. See what I mean.
3. I care too much what others think.The “It takes a village” approach to life/parenting/faith is important to me. I need a village. My last village is way too far away.
4. I was a teacher for 8 years, and now I am trying to figure out what I want to do next. That changes daily right now.
5. I want to have a job that involves interaction with people, organization, and making a positive impact to individuals or families.

Rachel, I miss you so much - this sounded like you. Honest, compassionate, and all community.
How are you doing? You don't have to answer that on this thread, but send me an email or something - I am trying to catch up on those!
