It is so funny you said that - of course I do have many talents, gifts and have been so full of energy moving me towards my own businesses. Read back on my posts and you'll see - I've started 2 since my initial layoff and have been working so hard on them. I've also been in 3 jobs, all of them outside my "norm". I have not given up nor given in but rather have, in my way of thinking, followed where life has been leading and taken risks, opportunities, and faced challenges with initiative.
The funny part is that I called about this job:
"FEEDING RESCUED CATS Dedicated and hardworking person who loves cats. Duties include feeding, dishes, litter, and various tasks...."
I do love cats (we have 4 plus a feral cat, Jake whom we feed, had neutered, got shots for and love). However...
I am an executive assistant (usually working for presidents and owners of large companies, not cats), our mortgage and lifestyle is predicated upon my earning a goodly sum.
And yet... I answered that ad, lol. Come on, don't you think that's rich? In another forum someone said "go be a greeter at Walmart (a discount store where elderly retirees fill that role)", believe me if needs be I will do. But as far as an entire new career I'm working on it. From admin to lampshade maker, from employee to owner. Until the $$$ starts pouring in though, I may feed cats!;)
Thanks for your thoughtful replies -
Great attitude AW.
And while you are feeding cats, who knows what other opportunities may show up...

ps
During season (SW Florida is driven economically by snowbirds and tourists from Nov through Apr approximately, called "season") the thing to do is be a server if you can get into a good restaurant or something in the hospitality industry. I have some physical "opportunities" which prevent me from performing in these kinds of jobs. Old people are another big industry, working in healthcare etc. There are jobs in retail (shop clerk etc.) as well.
Hope you find the job you are looking for soon.
Sending love, hugs and positivity,

Hi jen......what a great opportunity for you to experience a different type of career.....sometimes it humbles us to experience work we wouldn't usually consider.........
At the moment, I volunteer at the local Woodland Burial Site each day, due to lack of work..(bricklaying).....Well....We attended a Carol concert last night, and it was the most wonderful experience!!
Most of the people who attended the concert have dearly departed in the burial site, and after the Carols there was a torchlight prossesion around the graves.......truly beautiful experience....
my point is....try something new, and experience new beginnings.It certainly opened my eyes
love
