"Does what I ...I thought about your question. "Does what I am doing indicate who I want to be?"<br /><br />And the answer is "No and Yes." No, it doesn't indicate who I WANT to be, what I do indicates who I already am. And, yes, I do it because I want to be who I am...better. <br /><br />Thanks for this. When I first read your question, my pause to think about it held some trepidation. I feared I would not find the evidence I wanted when I turned over those rocks. <br /><br />It was a relief to discover that what I think I am is reflected in what I do. Ha. I also saw some gaps in that whole who I want to be thing, too. I need to work on that.<br /><br />By the way--when you mentioned the fund-raising aspect, I was reminded of the pro-life agency director's job I mentioned a few months ago. I didn't get the nod.<br /><br />The Board was concerned about money. My approach was that if we did outreach to the local churches,speaking at women's groups and to pastors--offering ministry, service and support--they would support the fundraisers already in place without pressure or the need for raz-ma-taz. <br /><br />In other words, they would want to do that because of who they are and who they found us to be.<br /><br />The Board wanted an experienced corporate fundraiser. The wanted a campaign. <br /><br />Shrug. I don't do campaigns. It's not who I want to be. :)<br /><br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
