The Lemonade Makers

Yesterday, while doing my daily "cruise" of job boards & industry news, I came across - Recession Wire - the upside of the downturn http://www.recessionwire.com
These ladies validated my belief that there is always an opportunity to make money in any economy.... you just have to figure out where and how. All 3 of the founders of RW have lost their jobs due to lay-offs and cutbacks....to put in their own words - they "decided to turn misfortune into opportunity. Inspired to capture the stories and improve the lives of urban professionals who, like them, were getting effed by the economy, they founded a website in early 2009. And that’s how Recessionwire was born–as a pop-up site™, ready and willing to die.

This is truly making lemonade out of lemons!

I'm only sorry I didn't come up with this concept myself..... hmmm perhaps there is an opportunity for some other kind of related site...... I will be thinking about it all day today, while I work at searching high and low for potential career opportunities and reinventing myself - and that's work!

It's a brand new day!

This has been a really amazing time in my life - both equally good and bad, dark and light! So much has happened that I have rarely had a moment to reflect about it over the last 24 months..... But recently, along with so many other Americans, I lost my job due to "layoffs".

So I'm taking on this "underemployment" (yes thats what my new term is going to be for my current situation) and I am going to write about life.... and my random observations.... and experiences, as a woman who is facing some major crossroads and reinvention, just like so many other people are.....

So watch out world, here goes lots of random thoughts.... and maybe a little wisdom......
