The Best of Times, The Worst of Times

As 2009 draws to a close, I have been reflecting on all I have learned this year about work, about the lack of work, and about finding myself again.

It has certainly been challenging....financially, emotionally, mentally...but, in an odd way, I feel like this...losing a job and looking for ways to make money...has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

There are a whole list of reasons that are important to me. But it has been the support of my family and my friends that has made me realize that a job, any job, is just to make money to buy things.

To those few who read this blog from time to time, I wish you the very best in 2010.

As for me, I will start the New Year on two different ventures simultaneously, working with an HR professional to promote a consulting business, and managing accounts at a search firm and learning the business of search. It will be a very interesting year....

....I will certainly keep you posted!
