Boy these are stressful times. Is it just me?

I’m still looking for work. (It’s super fun applying for minimum wage jobs at 40, btw). I had an interview last week for a residential counseling job that I really want and I feel like it went really well! I haven’t heard from them yet, but I’m hoping I will. (Help me visualize it please!)

My kids’ dad decided to decrease his child support payment without warning so things are tighter than ever. He thinks he’s in his rights to do so but I don’t think the court will agree. Still, it’s likely to take months to get through that process and I still have to make ends meet until then.

I’m still accepting clients but my practice really seems to want to hibernate right now. I love working with clients and I have been honored to support some amazing people through huge expansions through our work together over the past 6 years, so I know that I will continue to do sessions. Marketing is still a challenge for me though, so it may be a while until I can depend solely on my practice to support me.

I’ve registered with some stop-gap options like Postmates, Care.com, and Freelancer.com so hopefully some solutions are in the works. I’m also open to gigs and odd jobs in Long Beach. Hit me up if you have anything you need help with – child care, editing, spreadsheets, databases, home/office organization, filing, purging, housework, cleaning, or whatever. (Just no sales!)

I’m visualizing ease and abundance. I know that ultimately we are safe and supported and that we’ll get through this to safer waters. (Hopefully soon!)

And still, it’s scary. And somewhat demoralizing. So I’m holding myself through those feelings.

If these past months or weeks have been a rocky ride for you too, I’m sending you love. 2018 is no joke folks.
