How Did We Get Here? Are We There Yet?

Close your eyes. Imagine with me.

You've been working in your field for 25 years. Studying, working hard, and achieving ech "level up" with perserverance and grace -- then BOOM. You're fired, not once, buty twice, in the sme year. Not for any wrongdoing or mismanagement, but for integerity. You've been standing up for what's right. Protectng the health, safety and well-being of our most precious resources, our children. LOL. then I ngot hired a job that I swear was part of some healthcare scam, so I "fired myself" this time.

The proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back" was my son's school closing permanently three calendar days before the first day of school, and finding out about it on the news.

No job, no school? Time for a change, "Brothers and Sisters." The week long reconnaissance mission turned into a permanent move, overnight. NO time for tears, goodbyes, or fear of the unknown.

Lesson #2: Close your eyes, take the plunge! The water's deep, but refreshing on the other side.
