The One Year Anniversary of My Layoff

So, I can't believe it is the one year anniversary of my lay-off. One year ago today, I was at home trying to figure out what to feel, what to do next, and how to put my life back together. It was a time of tears and relief, but definitely a moment I don't want to live through again.

Since that time I have written a book (that is yet to be published), indulged my right brain, dabbled in politics (strictly from an advocate point of view), focused on family and health, watched several soccer games, gotten on my teenagers nerves, played "housewife", caught up on the latest marketing trends in web & social media, and generally, as my aunt puts it, "practiced retirement."

But the reality is, I am still trying to figure it out. And there is one part of me that said, don't let this anniversary pass without acknowledging it. And, more importantly, don't let this next year pass without figuring it out.

And so, my challenge is to figure it out....to find myself before I turn fifty which is just over 13 months away. Besides, I'll need to figure something out to actually bring in an income.

I think I'll use this blog to help me get there.
