About
“When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.” Ever heard that phrase? A couple of days ago makes it a year since I was fired. From the worst job I ever had in over 30 years of critical care nursing. And I’m still jobless. (I’ll argue about a nursing shortage in another essay.) I’ve been a seminar junkie for several years now. Spend, spend, spend – and no income to show for it. So I have finally decided that now would be a good time to actually implement the stuff I’ve been learning. Why now and not, say six or eight or ten months ago? A combination of two syndromes: the raven (oh, look at this shiny object; oh, look, here’s the next big thing….) and that of inadequacy (I don’t know the answer to this question or I have never done that by myself….) It was kind of like waiting to take a vacation until all the traffic lights are green – ain’t gonna happen. My computer skills are still not the best, yet they slowly get better every day. (Thanks all you very patient support folks who handle questions, often the very same questions, day in, day out.) I’m also a person whose “luck” does not allow a smooth passage from a -> b. A goes to a1 which means a2 and a3 must be done first, then it’s off to a4, 5 and 6 before getting to the point to do b. Can anyone relate?? Once I get all these bugs ironed out, I’ll be rocking and a-rolling. I know I can do it, be a success. I am Woman!
