Yay, go me. XD
Hey everyone, I just got back from a long hiatus...too long in fact. I kind of gave up on my online business because, well, I felt like I was putting a lot of work into my site, and I wasn't seeing any results...or better yet I wasn't being patient. I also felt overwhelmed with trying to absorb all this information, which contributed to my mental breakdown.
The funny thing is, I knew this would happen at some point, and I knew that I should press on, no matter how hard things got...I even said it on the articles on my website...But, I didn't listen to my own advice. I let my self doubt, frustration, and mental obstacles get the best of me. I essentially gave up on my dream.

Who knows where I'd be if I just kept up with the training? It's so frustrating to think about all the progress I could have made, but lost, because I put everything on the back burner.
I'm a little frustrated with myself...can ya tell? Ha.
Anyways, here's an update on my life. I got laid off last month after my company got bought out by a bigger firm. I was hired on for almost 3 months and decided to get rid of my position (my old boss got let go too). With nothing holding me down in Florida, I finally moved to Washington state. Not exactly how I wanted to cross the finish line, but at least I'm reunited with my son, so I have that. Now that I'm unemployed, I'll be on the job hunt for..who knows how long.
To be perfectly honest, although I presently don't have an income, I'm really enjoying the time freedom I have right now. I don't have to put up with the stress from commuting, deadlines, meetings, irate/computer illiterate users, blah, blah, blah...I've been able to spend a lot of time with my son, and I love it!
I told my old boss many months back that I wanted my former employer to be the last company I ever work for. I want to make that dream a reality.
