Sarah! Oh my gosh! I’m so excited for you to have this new career opportunity. I haven’t a clue what you will be doing but it doesn’t matter, you do! I’ll learn from your words on IG.
I feel the pull to write as well. I journaled for over 25 years but have since stopped. I still have all of the journals. My girls want me to burn them. Ha! They are afraid to read my deepest thoughts. Understandable. I’m a regular fiction reader. I always have a book downloaded on my iPad. Years ago, I sent in the story of my mom’s suicide in 1974 to a magazine. It wasn’t published but that was okay. Maybe I will try journaling again. I’m retired, so I do have the time.
Here’s to an adventure in 2024! I’ll be reading! 🫶🏼💫
Hi Dolores! It's actually quite confusing to explain!
I am an Air Force Reservist and what is called an Individual Mobilization Augmentee or IMA, which means when I go on orders I am generally filling in for an active duty person who either is on leave or deployed. My Reserve unit is a small office in New York City and I have been with that unit since 2017 and go on orders for them each year.
Separately, we have the option as Reservists to take periods of active duty orders with other units and that is what I've been doing for the past three years. So I am in an active status, working full time, just like if I were on active duty.
I hope that makes a little bit more sense! Thanks for asking!

Congratulations Sarah!! SO well deserved!!
Sarah I am thoroughly confused about your military status. You are in the reserves? How does that work?

Thanks Sarah. That does make it a little easier understand.
And you are able to work from home most of the time?
I really enjoy reading your post, as I also enjoy following your journey on the farm with the animals. 🙂
