I hope it doesn't happen. This has been such a challenging year, Tammy, that I've thought about having to go back. I hope it doesn't happen.

Thanks so much for sharing. :) I left a corporate job about 5 years ago and am so thankful that I did! We were in debt and I had no job prospects. But everything worked out. I found a job, went back to school for a second masters degree and am in a better place with my career. I'm so happy for you! Thanks for the inspiration. :) Kerri — beautiful post! Thanks so much for sharing. :)

I'm one of those still trying to find my purpose after being laid off from a job I was at for almost 20 years. It was three years ago, but at times I still feel like a nomad, trying to find my way. Thanks for another light on the horizon. :-D Thanks SO much for sharing this. I'm one of those still trying to find my purpose after being laid off from a job I was at for almost 20 years.

What I didn't write in my post is that I was JD'd, the corporate term for "Job Discontinued." Maybe if that hadn't happened I would still be sitting mind numbed in a job I hate, fearing what would happen if I walked away. That was the best kick in the butt I ever got! Kathy,

It is truly an amazing thing when you can do what you were "meant" to do, and not what you have to do to survive. That's great, Kent.

I too recently made the move from employed to self-employed and really enjoy the change as it has always been a dream of mine and has finally come to me in my 50's. I was laid off from a a mortgage bank programmer a few years ago and went into a job that payed about 1/3 of what I had grown accustom to plus it had no benefits. I was thankful for the work at the time, but than it was cut to half time and fortunately during that time I started my own blog. My blog grew to the point that when the time came for another layoff that I was ready to move into working it full time. I am now a full time writer or internet publisher which I consider my "professional title" and love the freedom and people I am meeting on the journey of this new phase in my life. Keep up the good work Kerri. Hi Kerri — thanks for sharing your story.
