The ____ of wrath
I have this fantastic blogging opportunity to share new and wondrous information with you. I got a new job. Details to follow.
I may have to change my challenge to half SoCNoc but I will continue to try to catch up. Today is a new day!
Basically if you have put in the amount of effort it takes to complete any one of these the recipient of your gift will know they are super special in your mind and that they are worth the effort.
It’s like a fusion cafe/coffee house/wine bar/
I got a croissant and a hot chocolate for $3.50! Wowzas!
Maple Valley Writers meets their Tuesdays 2PM – 4PM
They have wine tastings and live music events
THEY ARE LOCAL!!!
Don’t let big box suffocate the nuances of a city, support your downtown and shop local.
I love Foley’s! They improve the neighborhood immensely and I’m very thankful for the opportunity to buy from a local vendor who sells local produce with that local feel of your neighborhood market. Their produce is amazing in and of itself and they have screaming good deals on several things all the time (Granny smith apples $0.79/lb). They may be a small stand in the midst of a plethora of big box grocers but they have quite the variety, supplying organic options among the regular options, even providing such goods as homemade bread, eggs, honey, and jams. Foley even grows and sells some of his own plants. I highly recommend Foley’s and will be back again and again.
The Maple Valley Creative Arts Council proudly presents the Fifteenth Annual Arts Festival hosted at the Lake Wilderness Lodge (22500 SE 248th, MV). This popular event coincides with the annual community celebration, Maple Valley Days and is the must see highlight of the weekend. Arts Festival will include a live performance area (poetry, music, dance, etc.), indoor gallery space for display of visual arts, artists’ demonstrations and hands on art activities for children.
NEW this year will be a special Saturday Night Open Mic. We are adding this very popular event to celebrate our 15th anniversary of supporting and cultivating local artists . Along with the amazing talent that Open Mic attracts, we will have our first Poetry Slam. Also check out the Photo Page for last year’s Arts Festival award winning artwork.

If it’s all about getting your foot in the door so volunteering those feet is the way to go!

Even if they say ‘no’ or there are no job openings, this could be the way you squeeze yourself into that company you want to work for. If it doesn’t pan into a ‘real’ paying job then it only adds good fodder for your resume.
Tired of the struggle? I’ve written past work numbers so many times I’ve re-memorized them. It’s difficult when you know most of the hard work won’t pay off. Once you get that rejection, all the work you’ve put into getting that particular job has to be trashed. The only thing you can do is dust off your original resume and work it for a new job. Don’t give up. Laugh.
