Although I intended my last post as a general commentary on finding purpose and satisfaction in life, it has worked for me in unexpected ways. 

As happened last year when I put my desires out into the universe and was rewarded with a job that seemed to fit the bill, I have again seen things work out. Two weeks after writing down The Goal?, I sit here back at work, in a field I enjoy, working to the benefit of one of our country’s most significant industries.

Since last week this time, I have been employed to the Music Cluster as a Project Coordinator. What the …? Yeah, most people don’t know what that means.

The Music Cluster is a formal grouping of the Jamaican music industry formed under a funding programme for Private Sector Development. As project coordinator I am helping the cluster to implment projects in their operational plan which include the establishment of a unifying organization to continue after the formal cluster programme funding ends, the development of a website which will help to promote the Jamaican music industry, the development of a database of Jamaican music industry participants etc.

Basically it is combining my skills, talents, interests and passions into one jam-packed contract until the end of the year. No clue where it will lead but it is a further step in the right direction for me. At the end of the day I will get some good experience, learn a whole lot about the industry, make some good contacts and be that much closer to where I need to be in life.

P.S. I will likely get to do some work with the Visual and Performing Arts Cluster as well. Talk about all round exposure.
