After a 35-year career in counseling/helping programs, and having rercently started in a new job as a property manager with a great YMCA program, I continue to learn how incredibly fortunate I am to have lived my life being allowed to share joys, challenges, sorrows, growth, change, learning, etc with so many people. We're all in "it" together, so much more alike than different. It's ALL choice, and vision and mission are fulfilled every day in whatever job or career we're in. It's interesting and fun for me to reflect on the fact (at least, my fact) that the "helping professions", can be stressful, gamy, political, dreary, and money-driven if we allow it to be so, and the property department at the Y can be therapeutic, mission filled, and a "world changer", if we allow it to be so. Every person's every action changes everything. What an incredibly rich journey!
