In the past year, I've had four different sources of income! There's my ongoing part-time role with
Downtown Cornerstone Church, my volunteer turned part-time position with
Seattle Repertory Theater's development office, the landlady duties and summer of
Air BnB, and some adhoc marketing support for
Seagate Studio. I have never been happier with my job set-up and feel (dare I say it) content!

When I talk about work I regularly highlight the unique balance, blend, and flexibility that I'm fortunate enough to experience. Averaging 32 hours a week with the option to work more when needed has been refreshing and life-giving. With Tuesday and Friday afternoons open, I enjoy the opportunity to connect with friends mid-day, host visitors, run errands, work on special projects, or simply rest and keep my home in order without feeling overwhelmed or maxed out. Working two part time jobs allows me to flex my time on either end in the case of an event or major project.

Most importantly, the work itself, causes, and teams I'm a part of have all been life-giving. I love supporting our Executive Pastor and helping people connect further into the life of our church. I like the predictable & straightforward routine tasks I complete at the theater and learning about upcoming works and Equity Diversity and Inclusion efforts occurring within the organization. I love getting to know our neighbors (although Air BnB was more lucrative, it was also a lot more work!). I love seeing my in-laws' creative ideas and quality craftsmanship succeed.

Overall, it's been freeing to have a solid season where I'm not regularly questioning or dreading work. I think I found a sweet spot!

Organizing + Kind People + Writing + Flexibility + Predictability + Fun Events = my sweet spot
