Exit27 Transformational Healing

I have not posted on here in over three years working fulltime in the food and retail industry. I am not working as a healer for several years with Pals closing as a nonprofit in 2018, yet enjoyed volunteering again reading /educating children with educators a few times a month at the start of 2023. Coming out of Covid, the libraries I’ve worked with in Los Angeles are supportive as are my employers and librarians the past few months in Michigan at Panera Bread until I can soon relocate to a home.
Coming out of lockdown, my approach to working with 3rd to 6th graders is quite different than it was in my early days when I initially started my story time with multicultural children. We ( the librarians and teachers in LA and France), who contributed to my two Pals children’s books authored after my decades of story time Wednesday and Thursday’s after my fulltime work is what made Pals books a success. And those cities and after school programs who included us yet who could not get us funding with budget cuts, we thank you too. All these co-educators couldn’t get Pals as a nonprofit funded, yet they believed in my volunteer story time and these books I co-authored with Al Margolis, Jean Louis Boyer and an amazing international crew of children , guests of all different cultures, developers, interns, web artists and volunteers. At the end of lockdown, the approach this year is quite different. Instead of focusing on reading and comprehension, I personally will be evaluating/observing and facilitating the children’s socialization and critical thinking skills to bring their own unique perspective to the table. A key factor needed in today’s world to broaden children’s understanding of their peers and to engage in active listening as well as dialogue while covering our chapter books. I may or may not have a book club in the future …yet it will have to be books I find that are morally uplifting and educator, parent and child approved. I’m always recommending/ discussing and how we need to assess them from a place/ref. point in history that may sting compared to the present time, yet must be learned/discussed and examined without erasing history.
Books take children places… though funding never came from anyone who lent a name or endorsement to Pals Around the World, I will personally give back with my time when I relocate. Not being able to have children with my path this lifetime, I paid for my program/books from my automotive career in Project Mgmt /International Management consulting yet I do not want or need to repeat this path. This entailed many working hours while achieving multiple degrees (three undergraduate, a Masters in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, multiple medicinal /healing/healthcare studies and certifications , including reinstatement of my Project Management degree in 2015 and selling my car to fund it so I had not a penny of student debt. These were from respected four year Universities and Colleges in person and part of “ my unique path” not YOUR path or YOUR lineage and you too will find what moves you/resonates with you personally, professionally and educationally…Whatever career you choose, choose wisely by checking in with yourself. Take the time and career tests to validate who you are and what via psychological testing you can find what your suited/interested in doing and than jump to the end result by interviewing /shadowing with those mentors in careers you’re personally suited for.. this will prevent you from spinning your wheels or wasting your time or money. It can help you know you, instead of following or trying to be someone else’s story /career track who you are not… finding your chosen career/educational path to make a strategy that works for you personally and professionally. Happy and healthy New Year and God bless you and your families! 🙏💗💕💗☮️😘
