[…] weeks ago I wrote two posts in in which I mentioned that I recently lost a job and felt uninspired to blog. After a few days, my mother, an avid reader here, suggested I remove […]

So sorry that you are facing problems with work Maris,
I wish there was good advice I could give you but I personally have not decided what I want to do in my life..I work part time now and there is blogging but neither are paying enough..I don’t want to commit to a job I’m not passionate about but for some reason I can’t find that job..
All I can say is that you will be in my thoughts and prayers and I really hope everything works out well

I hope things turn around for you soon. I know it’s hard to think of now, but life usually falls back into place!

Bless you, what a difficult time. My husband is freelance and I am a full time mum and a once a week blogger, and we feel really vulnerable at the moment with 2 small children and a difficult economy. So first, take a deep breath. Then don’t think too hard about the big picture, just focus on the small stages, on taking each day at a time. I don’t think there is any such thing as the perfect job …or the perfect husband, friend, house etc. Things happen for a reason, and it is during the bad times that we are learning. As a woman, you will probably want to find something that can be flexible if you decide to have children, so it sounds like you are heading the right way. Keep believing and it will all be ok.

I feel for you Maris and although I don’t have any REAL words of wisdom I do know this: you will land on your feet regardless of what is happening right at this moment. Also know that sometimes the direction we THINK we are going turns out to be something entirely different but we couldn’t reach our destination any other way. I’ve had many a career change in my life but every single one of them has prepared me for what I’m doing now – I own a company w/The Professor which in turn has helped us develop skills we use to create and produce content for our blog. We just couldn’t have ended up here any other way. Stay focused on your dream and it will happen . . . But the road will have many a curve.

This economy sucks and it isn’t a reflection on you or your work – it just is what it is; you may need to take another job temporarily and keep working towards your goal part-time – I don’t know; but never give up on your dreams – those visions are given to us for a reason – because they’re ours to fulfill!
