Today is my first day unemployed.
I once wrote a short story with the moral “be careful what you ask for because you might get it.” Maybe, just maybe, I should have listened to my own advice.
I’ve felt for a while that it was time for a change, but I was afraid. I didn’t know what kind of change I needed, what I should do to improve things. So I prayed for guidance, for a clear message that would let me know what my next step in life should be.
The next thing I knew, I was told that my position as Head Librarian in the school was being cut, and I was out of a job.
Gulp!
Message heard loud and clear: I had outlived my time at the BC school.
But what next? What kind of job should I look for? Where was I best suited.
Gulp again! I’ve applied for over 50 jobs this summer, with nary a bite. Another message heard loud and clear. I need to start my own business.
The time has come to stand on my own two feet. To be my own boss. To join the world of business owners.
Time for the next adventure.
