Since March, I have had two amazing opportunities come my way. First, I got a new job! I currently work as a Job Coach at LifeROOTS. “LifeROOTS, a non-profit community-organization serving Albuquerque, Rio Rancho and the surrounding area, has responded to the increasing and changing needs of children and adults with physical, developmental and behavioral disabilities. Our innovative programs and services assist people of all ages – from infants to adults – to reach their personal goals.” (liferootsnm.org) I absolutely love my new job. I get to work with a bunch of amazing people either at their jobsite or at our centers at the office. In this job, I am gaining a lot of experience working with people with disabilities. I am learning different healthcare provider techniques, such as, feeding, personal care, oral care, and so much more. I am constantly learning new things at work and I love every second of it. I have never been so happy to work. I have only been there a little over a month, but I wouldn’t trade my job for the world. I immediately felt welcomed when I started working there from not only the staff, but from the participants as well. I love the staff and all the participants they make me so happy.
The second opportunity that has come my way is being a Quarterly Contributor for Cushy! "Cushy is more than just a blog, it's a community of womyn writers, artists, and creatives. At Cushy we believe that Community is Key!" (Erin E. Barrio) I have followed Cushy for about 6 months now, and I love everything that this blog is about. I immediately went stalker status and followed Cushy on Twitter, Facebook, and even Instagram. I did not want to miss anything posted on this amazing blog! I followed the community members as well. The founder of Cushy, Erin Barrio, read my blog, got in touch with me, and offered me the opportunity to become a contributor. I was so excited I accepted right away! Just like the staff of LifeROOTS, the Community members of Cushy made me feel so welcomed. I am extremely lucky and couldn’t be happier. My first Cushy piece will be up now in June. I am so glad I didn’t give up working towards my dreams because if I had, I wouldn’t have come across these amazing opportunities.
