I
usually don’t talk about my work with my friends as they know me better
for my book and sport activity (thanks to my husband’s passion that
fortunately allured me as well into fitness), but most of my time is
divided between my family and my VOIP consultant job.
This
consists of a large scale of activities from making new contracts to
day-to-day sales routine of various telecom routes worldwide. Sometimes
the financial reward is less then the one coming from a full time job
but I choose this type of work in order to win the most important thing
in the world for me: TIME.
Time
to see my kid grow, without needing a babysitter, to watch a movie and
have fun with my husband, to go to the gym and read books. I go out
every day on long walks with my 3 years old boy and visit parks,
museums, coffee shops, do shopping, enjoying as much as possible his
childhood. As I know that it will pass soon. And at that time I will
most likely want to go back to working full time (or not) in order to
fill up my time.
Or
hopefully will be able to write on a full time basis as I have many
projects in mind. Right now writing probably takes 5% of my time but I am
still happy with it. I am happy that I have published 1 book and the
second will be ready soon. And that some people already like my writing.
I
see many talented writers in my country that dedicate lot of time to
this (or at least so it seems) and they read so much more than me.
Sometimes it discourages me as I can’t commit same energy and time like
they do. But soon after i hear my kid laughing and wanting to go outside
to play and i say to myself: there will be time for writing as well.
Now
is the time to be full time mom and telecom consultant. But also to
give that 5% to my books as it will sum up someday to some nice pages.
And then they will keep me warm and give me new reasons to enjoy life as
my kid will have his own life and ambitions.
