Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

Hi All,

 

Don't want this to be whining or venting thread but this is pretty much the only community I am active in and really really like it so thought of posting here. 

This is for everyone to post if you like/need.

 

Some of you may know that I have been though toughest time of my life for last one year and every aspect of my life is hit. Looks like the ordeal is not over and now it's onto my career and in turn mental wellbeing . Without going into too much detail, my health was compromised to the point that it was life threatening, my personal life crisis beyond belief that I never thought would happen to me and crushed me. Now my career is taking a hit for various reasons plus my health/ some physical limitation causing me further stress, anxiety, having hard time concentrating.

 

I am doing everything I can. Fighting this very hard, trying to stay positive. I have started working out regularly because I think that will help physical as well as mental wellbeing and doing everything I can but I feel I am at a point where it's getting tiring I can use some positive thought and your prayers. 

Also, if you are someone like me where sometime I am at a loss of words and not sure what to communicate to the person but I still pray for them, that is ok too, no need to feel pressured to post anything.

 

Feel free to post your own requests in this thread. Again, not a pity party and definitely do everything in your control to power though but sometimes positive vibes and prayers are just the things we all could use.

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

I’m good at mustering positive thoughts! Sending a few!

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

I can't even think of everyone I'd have to tag, but thank you to everyone on BIC who's reached out to me this past month. I've been inactive while I try to recover from a concussion (because I'm the biggest klutz going atm) and it's been challenging. I went to a doctor earlier this week because I feel like I'm not where I should be but apparently this is just what's to be expected.... so some days I'll be fine and then others I'll be hiding away from the world and eating pain killers. 🙂 Some of my IRL friend group has been less than supportive in my need to take care of myself so the checking in and well wishes have meant the world to me. Thank you to everyone who's been super kind.

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

@Nickelliebear1 I am so sorry to hear this. Some people don't understand how serious a concussion can be. I know someone who had a severe one and it was very difficult. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and hoping your recovery moves at a better rate.

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

Oh no 😞  I hope you feel like your old self soon, @Nickelliebear1!

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

@Nickelliebear1 - (((BIG HUG))) 💖💖💖

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

@Nickelliebear1  I didn’t see the post you wrote previously in this thread, but I’m so sorry to hear about your concussion 😞 and you’re even taking on the responsibility of organizing the Canadian Secret Santa! You go girl!! 👊🏻 Sending you prayers and hugs 💗💗

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

@Guessgal thank you so much <3.  I love the holiday season but it's also pretty sad for my family... prayers & hugs will be keeping me going throughout.  😛 

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

I've seen the power of the BIC community on this thread before. Can some of you guys cross your fingers for me please? Two former bosses contacted me last week about a position they're looking to fill. I worked under both of them at my last job (they left before I did) and when they reached out to me, told me they discussed who they need for this position and pretty much instantly thought of me. Great! But it's in NC and I'm in Chicago. I initially turned it down, thinking I'd never leave. My sister talked me into reconsidering. I've had 3 phone interviews for it now and I'm waiting to hear next week if I make it to the in-person interview.

 

This would be life changing. Huge step forward in my career. I've never thought of living in NC but the more I research, the better it looks. Today was literally the snowiest Halloween in Chicago history. The weather and cost of living down there are obscenely better. Given the salary and cost of living, I would be so much better off. I've worked with this team before and know we work really well together. I didn't realize how important that is until I started my current job that involves a screaming boss with anger issues.

 

There is competition, 3 or 4 other candidates including a couple internal candidates. I think I've really done well in my interviews but fear losing out to competition.

 

Any positive vibes you folks could send my way would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance guys.

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

Have you heard anything yet @sprocketta 

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

Little late @sprocketta but keep your head up and don't psych yourself out! They definitely wouldn't have gone out of their way to call you if they didn't think you could do it. Big changes are scary, interviewing is the worst, but you'll get through it! Best of luck 🥰 

Re: Positive Vibe/ prayer request thread

@Brutalitops The higher up level boss, who I also worked with, told me point blank in our phone interview that he had no doubts I could do the job.  Still, the competition.  I had been in the running for what seemed like a great job in January and lost out to an internal candidate, so I'm hyper aware of them.  You're right, about them reaching out to me.  I'm hoping to hear back something today.  Thanks for the support.  It means a lot.
