🎙️Gnome Talk Podcast

Gnomean blessings all. I wanted to take a minute to make my first post, besides my introduction, and say that the most recent Gnomean homily really hit where I needed it too. I've been a little adrift in myself the past couple of years, and trying to find my feet. I felt like I had lost all root and ground in who I was and needed to reestablish myself in the world. I think I'm making progress, but if nothing else, I am getting my feet dirty. For the past year, I haven't worked and have been living off of savings. Most recently I was a public school teacher (high school) and when I left that position I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I gave some personal creative projects a shot, and realized I didn't want that to be my means of income. In January I enrolled in a Cybersecurity program at the local community college, to see if that is where I could move my career. I don't know that it is. I've realized this year that I really do want to continue being an educator, but I played it safe with my applications. I have applied to be an elementary art teacher and an elementary librarian, at schools very close to my house, but I don't feel like those would answer the true call. However, since watching the latest talk, I realized that I have it in me to teach high school again, and applied for an art teacher position at a high school a little bit outside of where I wanted to teach, but with full confidence and sincerity that I can do it. Wish me luck and send me some gnomean blessings. Thanks to the Elder for his wisdom. Be well.
