I posted my most recent article, Five Ways to Recover from a Setback, just over a month ago! I am here to tell you that I have not abandoned my blog nor have I abandoned my mission! I received a wake up call from a friend who sent me this sites current Alexa rating. Yes, if you don’t post, then people don’t come! So where have I been and what does it mean?
Well…sometimes you just need to regroup. That is exactly what I did and if you need to make any big changes in your life, you can too. As I announced in my article about reasons to appreciate your job, I decided to rejoin the world of work. As you may be able to appreciate, job hunting can be a consuming process and so is starting a new job. Today marks the beginning of the third week of my new job! So in addition to the holidays, I have been busy! My process of regrouping means that I need to take the time to calibrate my life routine around my new circumstances.
Overall, I am pleased with how I have made the adjustment in many categories. One of my theories was that by adding more structure into my day I would become more efficient by cutting out time wasters and figure out how to bundle tasks together and do the most important things. It is like a game to me and I am having fun with it. As a result however, I temporarily was unavailable to write blog entries and have gotten a little behind on my personal correspondences. Instead, I have used my free time to look inward and do a lot of journaling. This has allowed me the space to think about what changes I want to make to my two websites.
I assure you that I have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes. For example, I am currently working on an article comparing my experience on the Master Cleanse with my experience completing a Dr. Natura colon cleanse. I will get that posted within the week! I also updated my raw food website with information on how your personality type affects your approach to preparing foods. I even provide suggestions for how each personality type can stretch themselves. If you are trying to make any type of dietary habit changes, understanding your personality type and what that says about your food preferences and your potential strengths and weaknesses can be very helpful.
I am also excited that my friend Darlene Navarre interviewed me last week for a radio segment that will be aired next Monday. I will be sure to send out an announcement when that interview is available. Darlene is committed to helping people eat fresh foods regardless of dietary affiliation. I wholeheartedly agree with her philosophy that good healthy and vibrant live foods are for everyone.
Bottom line. I am here to stay and I am working on some exciting projects that I will announce when the time is right!

Sonya,
Even though I’ve been self-employed for 6 years I still keep my eyes open for interesting job opportunities. I worked briefly with a tutoring company for at-risk students in early 2010 and enjoyed being in a teaching/mentoring position for students. Some of the work I found unenjoyable which helped reignite my flame and passion for my current line of work. I know there are jobs out there that I would enjoy, as long as I believe there are and am searching for them
A job where I could sneak in internet research time would be great. I am envious of my friends who essentially get paid to Facebook all day long. It’s unfortunate that many who are in that position don’t realize they could be researching and learning more about a passion, such as raw foods!
Very insightful points Kevin. The job or non-job status is only one factor to consider. It is everything else that goes into the experience of being self-employed or traditionally employed that also counts, most notably, the passion factor!
