What am I Here For?

A few months ago, I had a life-changing event happen to me. I left a job I had had for 23 years. I really struggled because my job had been my identity for all of those years. When people asked me to introduce myself I always said teacher or principal. I have other roles too (mom, wife, daughter, sister) but the role that paid money was always the one I identified myself with when introducing myself.
After my life changing experience, I spent a long time contemplating, “Who am I?” and “What purpose did God put me on earth for?”. I asked myself what I liked best about my job and the answer surprised me; I liked adding value to other peoples lives. I liked helping them, caring for them and helping them grow. The interesting (and kind of sad) thing is I had not done that to the people closest to me. I include myself on that list. I had let my body, mind and spirit go because I was too busy.
So I started doing something every day to add value to other people. It has changed my life and given me a new direction. I don’t get paid for this but abundance is not all about money.
I would like to write some of my thoughts, stories and soul-shifting that has happened by adding value to myself and others 365 days a year.
