Creating Work That You Love � Dreams, Visions and Reality

This past Friday will stand out as one of the best days I’ve had at work for a long time. I started the day by checking the feedback on the Fearless Friday blog I’d posted before bed and was very happy with the responses, and even happier for my interviewee. Then it was off to my day job. Our hospice participated in a community event at the local Senior Citizens Center. The theme was Hawaiian and we got to wear flowered dresses and leis. I thought that our marketing director was out of her mind when she asked me to bring my Jafra bag. When I asked why, she just kept saying, “Oh, they want stuff like that.” Although I was still puzzled as to how this was going to work - it’s a little inappropriate to work your own business while at your day job - I brought it. Her idea was to set me up to give the attendees hand facials - and they absolutely loved it! I think I enjoyed it more than they did. Holding their hands, making eye contact and knowing that they were feeling pampered and that someone was interested in what they had to say was a very touching reward. It did not feel like work at all.
