Updates

I just updated my website. Feel free to take a look and comment. I do this far too infrequent! It’s almost like I’m afraid to…I don’t know… champion my achievements, or outline my goals…weird. I am satisfied with the updates. Just trying to be the best me I can be online in the hopes thatContinue reading “Updates”

I Tried…

I have decided that with the real estate industry, I have bitten off more than I can chew. I don’t count this as a failure, but as a path to success that, for the time being, wasn’t one for me. I figure that as long as I have other paths to pursue, I will beContinue reading “I Tried…”

I don’t have to settle…do I?

The reasoning goes that those on unemployment insurance receiving the extra $600 a week in addition are, or have become, less inclined to seek work because they are earning more than when they were working. Using this reasoning, those unemployed have received far too much as it is, and so as another round of reliefContinue reading “I don’t have to settle…do I?”

Do Something!

I came across this article on LinkedIn, and as I read, I started thinking about my daily routine as I navigate this pandemic era. The short article says that, as opposed to multitasking, one should pick something to get done, decide what “done” looks like, and if it can be done in a short periodContinue reading “Do Something!”

Long before the the pandemic and the resulting crisis, I have discovered the online learning site called Alison. It is a site based in Ireland that offers literally thousands of courses and platformsContinue reading “Alison”

In an email this morning, I was directed to four articles from different sources. In total, they gave me a sense that the real estate industry is (thankfully) moving forward,Continue reading “Real estate profession concerns during COVID-19 pandemic”

What this blog is about

This blog will be about my job search. This is a blog that I will utilize during this COVID “staycation” time as I navigate the struggle for a new line of work. I will draw from, and opine on, some articles and post others. I hope that my opinions here…and they are merely opinions!!…inspire discussion,Continue reading “What this blog is about”

This should have been my very first post

Anyway, a little more about me… I was born and raised in New York City. I left New York City for good in 2001, just shortly before 9/11. I moved to Arkansas, where I lived, worked and went to university until 2006. I relocated to the northern Kentucky/Cincinnati metropolitan area, living in a city calledContinue reading “This should have been my very first post”
