Goddess of the Week: Lakshmi

Anonymous needs a goddess who will help her get a job. This one is easy. She needs the Hindi goddess of wealth and good fortune, Lakshmi.

Lakshmi is central to the Hindi celebration of lights, Diwali, during which time people light lanterns, set off fireworks and keep their homes brightly lit in the hopes that Lakshmi will notice them and grant them good fortune.

Now, what we need, Anon, is for Lakshmi to notice you. Here is what I recommend:

1. Don't hide your light under a bushel.
2. Shine like the spirit says shine.
3. But don't be a candle in the wind.

Do these things and Lakshmi will surely find you.  But when she does, be forewarned, Lakshmi never stays in one place for too long, so keep your resume up to date and remember that, in the best sense of the word, networking just means living an interesting life. So keep it fun!

Channel this goddess: When job hunting, when funds are running low, when heading to Las Vegas or Monte Carlo (and if you are heading for Monte Carlo invite me to be your accommodating traveling companion. I'm putting all my money on red!)
