Dear Destiny, Where is Humanity?

Dear Destiny,
Where is humanity? Sometimes after reading the news I wonder how this world ever got so big and complicated. When there is ceaseless conflict between neighbors; when people feel justified in killing each other; when trafficking the innocent becomes a business; and when half the species faces discrimination because of xx chromosomes ... how do we survive, this human race?

Dear Destiny, What's This?

Dear Destiny,
What's this? It's Monday morning and my week is pretty much a blank slate ... aside from the modest size to-do list. I thought that surely after last week's efforts in the job hunt that my inbox would be flooded with emails asking for interviews. But perhaps they are waiting for exactly the right moment ... in which case Destiny, I hope it's soon!

Dear Destiny, I'm Still Here.

Dear Destiny,
I'm still here, in the District. After a week of bizarre weather ranging from snow, to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a tornado watch, back to freezing temperatures, I'm surviving it. It sure is more interesting than days upon days of rain! But the excitement stops there; I'm still actively hunting for full-time employment and am starting to get a little anxious for something to come along. But I confess, I am being super picky in my searches for something that is "just right" - no compromising. Because Destiny, more than just work I want to find a position that fulfills my aching sense of urgency to do good in the world. My beliefs in community health, an ecological approach, and empowerment-based solutions are firm and I'm not backing down.
