I’m a Alchemist Generator…
Just look at these cars I posted here – they’re like the embodiment of my energy levels! I can zoom, zoom, zoom for what feels like an eternity. Honestly, I’ve always been puzzled about where I find the energy to tackle half the things I do. Well, it turns out generators have a treasure trove of sustainable energy! BONUS! But wait, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows; I have to do the right kind of work to keep that energy happy and entertained, or else it gets bored and starts sulking. Frustration, though, is just a quirky little buddy along for the ride, and I need to learn to dance with that energy if I want to pull in new adventures!
As a Generator, I am destined to lead a happy, fulfilling life when I let life show up for me. You see, I’m not meant to go out and make life happen; rather, I have to be patient and allow life to come to me in its own time. This approach is liberating, as it teaches me to trust the process and the universe. By embracing this mindset, I find joy in the small moments that unfold naturally, discovering how the right opportunities and experiences align perfectly with my energy. It is this harmonious flow that nurtures my spirit and propels me forward, revealing the beauty of life’s surprises while I remain open and receptive to whatever comes my way.
Do I have this in me? Yes, am I patient about life? Well, with some things, yes—like waiting for that last slice of pizza. But mastering this whole ‘adulting’ thing? Oh boy, that’s gonna be a PUNK! Bring it on! You see, as you age, your energy might still bounce like a toddler on a sugar high, but your body? Not so much—it changes faster than my WiFi connection when a family member hops on Netflix. Pro tip: treat your body like that one true friend you can’t live without, because let’s face it, you’ve only got one! I’ve hopped through more jobs and industries than a kangaroo on a trampoline, racking up experience like badges at a summer camp. But hey, some of those gigs were like riding a horse bareback—definitely not nice to my body. So, choose wisely when you’re young, or you’ll end up like me, negotiating peace treaties with your back!
Jobs in my life…
When I was younger, I had the incredible opportunity to work alongside my beloved grandparents at the vibrant Park n Swap. We passionately sold exquisite ceramics crafted with love in our family home in Laveen, AZ. I can still feel that exhilarating rush—waking up at 4am to embark on adventures with my Papa. Together, we would hitch the trailer and set off into the world, ready to share our beautiful creations. That’s where I discovered my passion for customer service at such a tender age, confidently greeting every customer with a warm smile, eager to offer them handcrafted treasures infused with our family’s pride. I also joyfully sold watermelons with my Tata up North, truly living the life of a social butterfly even at just six years old.
Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I embraced the relentless spirit of hard work and unwavering dedication from an early age. As I journeyed through life, this invaluable lesson flourished within me, shaping my very essence. I owe my deepest gratitude to my grandparents for nurturing my individuality and allowing me to flourish. Growing up as a young Libra, I was a vibrant whirlwind of expression, emotion, and sensitivity, often absorbing the feelings of those around me. If only I had possessed the wisdom I do now!
After tossing my cap in the air at Central High School—Go Bobcats!—I dived headfirst into the glamorous world of car sales at Phoenix Motor Co., your friendly neighborhood Mercedes Benz dealership. I mean, why not spend the next 15 years surrounded by shiny vehicles and people who think the air conditioning in a car is a luxury? ME! Between Phoenix Motor Co., Chandler Mercedes Benz, and Mercedes Benz of Tucson, I’ve practically become a walking, talking car brochure!
I then donned my apron and thought I’d be a stay-at-home mom for two years—what could possibly go wrong? It turns out, while I don’t mind making grilled cheese sandwiches, I prefer to be in the work force! Remember, I’m a social butterfly, not a domestic diva! So, I gave the whole Susie homemaker routine a whirl, which was somewhat enjoyable, especially all the quality time with the kids; but I quickly realized this gig wasn’t exactly my cup of tea.
I then thought it was a brilliant idea to head off to school for Medical Billing and Coding. Graduated with flying colors, and promptly snagged an internship in Phoenix while playing house in Tucson. Ah, youth—what a time to be ignorantly fearless! I mean, who needs to listen to their body’s pleas for rest when you’re off chasing dreams, right? Clearly, I was just a young genius running full speed ahead without a map!
I then decided to escape the digital dungeon—sitting behind a computer all day with no living soul to have a chat with was no fun! So, I channeled my inner animal whisperer and snagged a gig at a vet clinic as a customer service rep. Then, a new doctor sauntered in and decided I wasn’t just a cute face—oh no, they trained me to be a vet tech! It was like winning the job lottery! I got to dabble in Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Oncology, which made me feel like a superhero with a stethoscope! But let me tell you, even superheroes need a break; the job does take a toll on you. I miss those furry little patients more than I care to admit!
I then scored a part-time gig driving a Monster Truck—oh yes, you heard that right! I worked for the Rooster Cogburn Ostrich Ranch here in AZ, and if you’re a local and haven’t been yet, what are you even doing with your life? I went from part-time monster truckin’ to full-time animal wrangling, managing critters and staff like a circus ringmaster. If I hadn’t moved, I’d still be there, living life on the wild side with my feathered friends!
I now work for a high school, and let me tell you, it’s like being a superhero, but instead of fighting crime, I’m just trying to help kids figure out how to use a can opener! I have the absolute joy of building relationships with these young, often hilarious humans, coaching them to be better in life—like finding the optimal way to binge-watch their favorite shows. I truly love it. But here’s the kicker: my energy resembles a double espresso on a Monday morning—totally over the top! I tend to take on more than I need, which is a fancy way of saying I haven’t quite mastered the fine art of setting boundaries. Who needs ’em, right? Just kidding YES you need boundaries!
