25yearsMLC - 10 yrs Later I File D (pt 5)

[25yearsmlc]

Texas has reciprocity with a lot of states. It's one of the states where I'm licensed and I've used it to get into other states. Check into it.

I did. There is no reciprocity if you have not been practicing in the last 5 years. So I have to take a bar exam if I want to practice outside of Texas.

Totally understand putting it off to some degree, but it is also helpful to be able to show some effort, even if it doesn't pan out (or maybe especially so).

Well to be clear, I've sent out over 65 resumes.

Compliance I would think would have great possibilities for you with where things are now. In-house type job might be a good bet.

Last job was in house counsel at the ancillary surgery centers (there were 5 in all). Of course that was H's company but anyhow. There are a lot of issues that come with that job, but I'd say compliance, contracts and HR issues were the most common.

TBH, these ^^^ are fine. Yet the thing that comes to mind often lately, are jobs I would not have had or applied to if I were still with h. Things I have learned this year and likely would NOT have learned if we were still together.

Like helping divorced women track down what's theirs, (and divorcing men who are denied access to their kids), and maybe LGBT issues b/c I my own kid was sucker punched by an a$$hole at a rally.

Not sure where that^^ would theres would take me but I have been stunned at the issues these situations raise for me and my loved ones, lately.

Sometimes I wonder if the universe is telling me something.

But Own, I realize that I need a JOB. Maybe it'll be the job that leads me to the "real" job, and so I'm not going to wait for inspiration and a conclusion before just putting myself out there.

I pray, and the more I do so, the more I feel as if God is telling me to rescue myself first - and he will worry about the rest.

KWIM?

Wow, a friend just sent me a text that resonates right this minute --

*"Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can."*

weirdly well timed...

and thank you for brainstorming with me. It's good to have confirmation of my path - to the extent any of us can
