How many of you have been laid off, let go or just plain fired during your working years? Well, until a few weeks ago, that would have been 0 for me. But things change, and businesses go in different directions – or so I was told.
The company I worked at for 12 years was sold in September. The founding owner died in November, far too soon to enjoy his retirement.
Two veture capialists, one from New York, the other from California bought the business with promises of keeping all the existing employees. So much for promises.
So here I am in a far-too-late-in-life unemployed situation. But I have never been a quitter, and really do believe that when one door closes another opens. Finding myself with some time on my hands, I am reigniting this blog, and will let you know what I'm doing.
I have been working on some kid's designs for a while now, with the intention of trying to sell them. I've moved forward with this notion, and am back to creating more. Here's one.
Wish me luck on my new life's chapter!
You are back, you are back!!! I am so glad to see your new post and design, so creative. I know you will come out on top with this new turn in your life. I always find so much strength from your emails and blog posts. Keep them up, I need strength!!:-)
