Job Search Over 55 - Outfit of The Day

 

This was an Awesome week. I accomplished everything that I had on my to - do list. I had my regular check in Dr. appt for labs, happy to report all is well. God is a healer and continues to heal.

Job Search 

I have been approaching my job search with the mindset that if I do my part God will do the rest. So I have been looking and applying to positions that fit my experience, skillset and knowledge,  with companies that align with my values. 

So this week I had my first round interview with a company that's inline with what I am looking for. Soon after, I was contacted again with next steps for the second round interview. God moves in mysterious ways, when you do your part and let him do the rest. 

I am excited about the second round, but I also know that God is in charge and if it's for me, it will be mine and if not , there is something better he has planned for me.  I have learned that sometimes God puts us in a situation to prepare us for the next part of his plan. So I am just enjoying this journey and watching God move because I know I will end up exactly where I am suppose to be. 

Spent time this week perusing around the city doing a little shopping, people watching, enjoying life and making a conscious effort to live in the present moment. 

Things I learned or was reminded of this week

• Ask, Seek and have faith, when the time is right God will open doors 
• God moves in his own time, so learn to have patience
• Live in the present moment and enjoy the journey so you don't miss out on Gods miracles
• Everything you need will be there for you when it's time  
• What is meant for you is already yours and nothing can stop it 

The Oufit 

I felt real good in this outfit, It's amazing how an outfit can boost your confidence and put a smile on your face. It was the color and the fabric for me. The top is bright, vibrant and soft. The pant is linen, comfortable with a baggy fit just the way I like it in the summer.

Bright colors are not usually a thing that I gravitate towards. I like more muted and basic colors, but I started making a more conscious effort to include brighter colors  into my wardrobe because it lifts your mood and take a basic outfit to another level.

Back on the Job Market at 55 Plus

Well it's official, I am now a job seeker. After 4 years on sick leave from the work force. I went from being on dialysis, to transplant surgery, to healing, recovery, to embarking on a new chapter in my life. The power of God is amazing. 

I am excited and looking forward to the journey. I know a lot of things have changed since the last time I worked, which was back in 2019. However,  I am well prepared and up for the challenge. 

I am confident in knowing that God will open doors for me and place me right where I should be no doubt. 

Preparation for the Journey

Over the past 4 months I have been busy, revamped my entire resume, took some refresher Accounting and Excel courses and got certified in QuickBooks Online something that has been on my bucket list for a while.  All this in preparation to get back into the workforce. 

The Outfit

How is the weather out where everyone is?  I know in some parts of the US it is brutal but in NY we are getting our share of heat, humidity and rain storms. 

See, I love summer weather as long as the temperature doesn't go above 85 and it's not humid. So far this weather and I have a love hate relationship going on right now.  

However on those days when I have to go out,  I select what I am wearing carefully. I like to stay cool, comfortable and dry from all that heat and humidity.  I usually opt for loose fitting and comfortable clothing just like this outfit. 

It's lightweight, soft, loose fitting, breathable and comfortable with a drawstring waist and pockets. This is a win win for me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year Everyone. The past 2-1/2 years had been a time of serious testing. I learned to surrender, trust God and grew in my faith. It was tough but I wouldn't trade it for anything, it was all part of Gods plan for my life. My prayers were answered in November 2021 and God has given me a second chance at life. I will be living everyday to the fullest taking nothing for granted and appreciating everything in my life. 

May God bless you with Health, Peace, Protection and Prosperity over you and your family in 2022. Happy New Year!
