Kim Korven is an unlikely advocate of peaceful divorce. She was competitive in judo and for many years, a practicing attorney. One would expect she would enjoy conflict. Yet when her marriage was not working, she was nearly overcome with anxiety and a desire to avoid conflict with her spouse altogether. Thus, she remained married when she knew in her heart her family would be better if they separated. Traditional divorce terrified her. She knew all too well what it looked like through an attorney's eyes.

80% of life is showing up – Woody Allen  Talent is the rate at which you increase in your skill with effort – Angela Duckworth.  Definitions: Work: Is an activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. Purpose is defined as the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists. Calling: A strong urge toward a particular way of life or career; a vocation. Vocation: Is a job or profession. James Fowler an American theologian who was Professor of Theology and Human Development at Emory University. Describes vocation as finding a purpose for one's life that is part of the purposes of God. I feel like the list of who landed in what work or even the right work and who didn't, is exhaustive. I for one fall into the category of those who aren't doing what they really love: or so I thought. People tell you to follow your passion and everything else will follow. I have been trying to figure that out though, and have no answer to the popular quote than to say it doesn't always work that way.  “Do what you love and you'll never have to work a day in your life”. That word is attributed to Confucius, who lived from 551 BC to 479,  a Chinese philosopher and politician.  Totally unrelated, but a funny thing is, in our century this quote is also attributed to…. drum roll please, no one other than J-Lo's former husband Marc Anthony. He's quoted as saying that “if you do what you love you'll never have to work a day in your life”. The same quote with a little bit of tweaking – still the same idea. So, how about those people who've always known what they wanted to become? Well, I've met a couple and I'm sure grit plays a major part in them achieving their goals. There are those people I've met who it seems always knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. We'll get to them in a few. There are also public figures, people like Neil deGrasse Tyson an American astrophysicist, cosmologist, planetary scientist who met Carl Edward Sagan an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, science popularizer, and science communicator at age 17.  Or people I've met, like that mechanic shop owner I took my car to one time. He looked like he enjoyed what he did so I asked him how he knew that was the job he was meant to do. He told me that when he was younger he used to fix cars with his dad…  this conversation has been a while now so I can't remember if his dad was a mechanic or if his dad was just one of those parents that always had a car they we're always fixing. Long story short, today he's a mechanic. Then there's that real estate broker I met. I also asked the same question. He too looked like he enjoyed what he did too. How did you know you were going to be a real estate agent, I asked him, how did you know that this would be the thing that work, that this would be the job for you (again the stories old now) but he said someone came to his school on a particular day (maybe career day) and gave a talk and the person was a real estate broker (I hope I'm remembering correctly) and he got the opportunity to take a personality test and when he took his test it turned out he was matched to becoming a real estate agent. So, he became one, specializing in residential homes and then later becoming a commercial Real Estate Broker. Lesson to learn: That finding the work you're called to is not linear, but you want to get as close as possible by starting early. Even though he didn't start as a commercial real estate broker, staying in real estate helped him find out the type of real estate agent he wanted to be. And taking that personality test also helped. He too, like the owner of the mechanic shop I referenced above earlier, continues to love the work they do till today. What a great inspiration for anyone looking to pivot or find the work they are called to do. Then there are people like me who work and then start thinking maybe I mad...

Hi all, I actually thought the hard part of podcasting was getting my Podcast approved to be launched, well, turns out the hardest part is sitting down to record – so far I've made it past the 5 minutes mark. Talking by yourself is definitely hard work. I've been recording and deleting all day, at some point I'm going to hit publish and believe it's what I need to get out into the world. The Gloria that needs to meet her Saturday deadline will not let, the perfectionist Gloria make her miss her deadline of tomorrow. So, as I finalize the long form version for post on tomorrow Saturday the 6th, check out my 5 minute reflection. It's just what's been jumping at me as all this is going on as of June 5, 2020; the George Floyd protest worldwide, Black Lives Matter Movement, it's our organizational structures and it's the empowerment of the underrepresented (whoever that may be). Join me – as I reflect: I titled it: Reflecting On George Floyd Protest Movement. Listen below. Sincerely in Joy, Gloria The post 5:08 Minutes: Reflecting On George Floyd Protest Movement – #001 appeared first on She Loves Good Things.

I help you put things together to save money and love the work you do. Before the recession of 2008, I didn't manage my money well and I didn't love my career either. I think it was because I really didn't feel like I had a say in the plans for my future career while in high school. I'm currently on a journey to pay down my debt so I can be financially free while exploring my one calling and vocation too. Welcome to my podcast.
