recommendation letters
May. 3rd, 2009 05:44 pmThis afternoon I wrote my first ever recommendation letter. My friend needed it for massage school, and she was trying to make a deadline, so I just did it in one shot. Took me maybe a half hour while multi-tasking.
I didn't feel like writing anything. I've been really tired. I had a headache at the time. But I offered anyway, because there was a need, and I know this friend will do the same for me when I have a need for it. The letter made her really happy, it helped her with her application, and I got to accomplish something on a day where didn't feel well. Now I know that I CAN write a recommendation letter! And I've added to my rec letter karma bank.
The only way to dissolve inertia in your life is to start DOING things. Stop saying no, start saying yes. Yes, I'll attend that 6-day pagan festival. Yes, I'll go to the kayak meetup. That's how it begins.
