Hello friends. How silly am I. I will spin my wheels off in Antarctica and not realize I had a job right up the road from my house.
Since the recession sucked my techs out of me (the pay plummeted and I couldnt keep them full time or else lose money to keep working), I was going to study the trade of telecommunication and drive.
Why? I already have a non-profit company almost a year old, I am very public, have a huge facebook and online presence, conduct public speaking, and held a global concert to expose domestic violence.
Ive expanded my audience by covering things like a biker's run, a zombie walk, a Buffalo Bills tailgate party, and speaking at colleges!
Why am I going to learn cross-connections in a telco closet, what was I thinking!?
I started posting my availability all over and the same day, I got called by some companies to hire me out for promotions. Well color me happy, that's what I love to do, hand out free stuff, smile, and mingle with the public!
The past week has been booking after booking! Two weeks ago I had the flu, was shivering in bed under the blankets, and the gas company came and shut me off (Im in Buffalo NY). I have hit as rock botom as I could be before going homeless.
If I had a dime for every time I heard my needs would be met, then, heck, my needs would be met. I made the last 2 calls today, one to internet adn one to cell phone carrier... everybody is in check now. I can do the jobs, get paid, and feel like a real mother again. Not being able to afford a good meal or school supplies had me feeling pretty low.
It never tarnished my spirit though, for months my slogan has been, 'piss poor, my spirits soar..' :)
Thanks friends... its not easy, but you have to be proactive and aggressively go after things you need. Im not even talking about wants here. I want a new computer desk, but I need to keep my lights on.
Thanks for being encouraging and sharing my friendship and conversations. I hope you google me and read my articles, see my photography and check out some of my videos.
