A Brave New World

Well the past couple of weeks have certainly been a whirlwind. After my last post, everyone except me became ill with a stomach bug that was as unpleasant as it could be. I did a lot of laundry and disinfected everything anyone touched. My hands were chapped from incessant washing.

Once that was over and done with, I was back at work for a few short days before learning that I would be back on the job market. Ouch. Being laid off is pretty painful. Not to mention scary! We've got a mortgage, we've got kids to feed, for goodness sake! But really, after about 24 hours, a calm set in and a strong sense of determination took over. Then a little excitement trickled in and ideas started flowing. I've gotten a couple job leads from good friends (resume updating will happen tonight), I connected with another friend who will help design a company logo and packaging for our spice business and I am heading into each moment feeling pretty good about things.

Life is funny that way - just when you think you have everything figured out, it all gets turned upside down.

So, I'll go ahead and put it out there - if you know anyone in the Phoenix area who is in a business that's hiring (copywriting, marketing, tourism, etc.), shoot me an email! Or if you have a business and would like some help with your materials, proofing, editing, writing, etc., let me know. I'm available for hire :o).

Time Flies!

Yes, it's been a while since I posted here. And the ironic part is I've been avoiding it because there's just too much to post about! There have been art masterpieces, exciting outings, Mia's and Bodhi's birthdays, my own birthday - not to mention the time period when Mia spilled lemonade on our old laptop so we were computer-less for a while. It's been a bit crazy to say the least. So you'll probably be seeing a whole bunch of new posts in a short amount of time as I try to catch up.

And for everyone I have yet to send a thank-you to - I haven't forgotten, I am just the world's most lousy thank you card writer. But I assure you, I am thankful not only for the gifts for me and my children, but more importantly for your love, laughter and good company! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! And in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the photos I hope to post tonight :o).
