inspiration

a day off after a busy weekend... so much happening in my life. i have a job that i like, i am being headhunted for another job and am not sure i want to make the leap. there has been so much change in my life this year. what to do? i want to pave a new way... tired of the old way. life is short, i've got that one memorized this year. this ain't no dress rehearsal. that one is pretty clear too. issues of work life balance constantly come up for me... who the hell came up with the fourty hour work week? when, once you really look at it it is more like a freakin sixty hour work week. i start counting the minute my alarm goes off cause at that point i am getting out of bed at 6 AM and it ain't cause I want to. and when i don't get home until 6 at nite... that sure looks like a 12 hour day to me. things need to change. and not just for me... why are americans such work a holics? why can't we figure out that we should work to live not live to work? why do i keep working my ass off for someone else? and then to be confronted by that nasty glass ceiling? the one where anyone with a swingin dick gets more money and faster promotions than say, someone without one.

so i was inspired this weekend... i went to the Blogher Boston Conference (http://www.blogher.com/) this weekend and was amazed at all the empowered women in the room! the whole thing was just eye opening to me. i sat and listened to how social media is changing the game when it comes to prospecting for clients or even just doing consumer research. it seems to me that one of my life dreams.... to achieve work life balance.... is not that much of a stretch.

the wailing wall

So i *donated* 18 dollars, wrote out a little prayer, cause God knows I could use the Divine Inspiration right now.... I mentioned Kevin... and I hit send. My prayer prints out in Jerusalem and a rabbi in training tucks it into a crevice on the wailing wall .... where the Divine supposedly resides... and that's it! Right? I just sit back and wait for God to answer my prayers! They even send you a confirmation telling you that it is printing and they are tucking and "Good Luck! We hope that God answers your prayers". So now I am waiting. Sitting. Waiting.
