Well it's been a few months since I posted anything. I have been attending the Human Resources in NFP course, and it is nearing the end. Dee summed it up nicely a while ago, it has been a long stretch. For me more so, as I slowly plod along. One more course in the fall I guess and I will finally have completed this certificate. I recall feeling like quitting about half way through, but having talked to others, this is pretty common in anything that takes a long time to accomplish. Now I think I'm glad that I stuck with it.
What I have learned throughout the courses in NFP Management cannot be measured, and the opportunity to learn new things fits well with my personality. Besides, I need to keep learning new things, 'cause sometimes I forget some of the old stuff. As for the blogging, I gotta tell you, it has been a real benefit to learn. On several occasions I have helped others to implement the idea of a blog into their work, or their lives. Next week we will introduce blogging as a therapeutic activity to the women I work with. We have secured a volunteer with a better grasp of it than I have and she will regularly help women set up and maintain blogs to express themselves and perhaps share with others. I am looking forward to this pilot, and feel like I have contributed some of my learning in a way that can be passed on to others.
