One Year Later
Hello Everyone!
I haven’t blogged in over a year. I decided to go back to it. After all I am a writer, so why not?
In this past year I got a job at Thresholds. It’s a mental health organization, one of the largest in the Midwest. I have been working at several different residential locations. I love my job. It’s literally the best job I have ever had. I go to work everyday with a sense of purpose, knowing that I am doing something to help others.
Other stuff in this past year include a move into a larger apartment. My husband and I were sharing a studio, now we’re in a one-bedroom.
This past year I have been a little disconnected from my Bahai community. I miss everyone and I am going to make an effort to go to a couple of gatherings so I can once more become an active Bahai.
I have also been preparing to on on PIlgrimage in March of 2009. I’ve been putting money away for this auspicious occassion, working very hard to make it a reality.
I’ve been continuing to get my poetry published in the Journal of Ordinary Thought. And like always I’ve been writing regularly and coming up with new ideas. I even sold a peice of artwork earlier this year.
To all my Bahai friends, I sincerely miss you guys and I think of you a lot. I hope that each and everyone of you are enjoying your daily trek through life. Peace out everyone!
Love,
Helena Marie

Glad to hear all the good news! I am especially happy to hear that you have a job that you love and that gives you a sense of purpose. Isn’t that what so many are looking for? SO glad that you found it!

Hey Helena Marie
I have been thinking about you and was glad to see an update from your blog. I know it’s really hard to stay connected to the Bahai community all the time when you are juggling all the struggles of life & family. I have a new number and think I no longer have your number…..call me or shoot me a line if you want to chat…..so cool you are working to go to pilgrimage. Woohoo. Props to you*
Love,
