The word vocation comes from the Latin word vocare which means "to call".
I've been thinking a lot about my vocation. My calling. What am I meant to do?
I'm a teacher by trade and weather I like it or not, it's part of me. I come by it naturally. But lately I've been wondering if that's truly my calling. Is it what I'm meant to do?
My answer: yes...and no.
I know there is a way to blend all those creative aspects that I love with my teaching skills.
So, I'm putting myself out there.
I'm going to start offering private crochet and sewing lessons.
I will open that Etsy shop I mentioned earlier this year.
I've started accepting commissions.
And I've begun offering my photography services.
Consider my hat in the ring.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm legit enough for all this. I question my skills. I compare myself to others. I focus on the hows and what-ifs.
Begone self-doubt!
This is what I want to do when I grow-up. This is what I love. Everyone has a beginning and this is mine.
Look at me. I'm jumping off the high diving board.
