She was really helpful to me in a few back and forth private messages last week.  |

Aw, thank you so much, everyone! I don't even know what to say.. because there are lots of things I could say. YES, I am very happy right now (even if I'm more stressed out than I have been in years). Because I'm hopeful I will do meaningful things with my life, and I struggled for a few years feeling lost and hopeless. And when you have hope, everything seems so much better. I also realized a while ago that I had forgotten a lot of stuff that was important to me. Probably either because I felt hopeless, or maybe I felt hopeless because I forgot, I'm not sure which came first. And then I remembered that I'm so much more than a pattern of decisions, and that what jerks think of me don't define me. A lot of serendipitous and shitty things happened in a period of a few months that reminded me of some stuff I once knew and believed to be true, and had forgotten. I feel like I'm on the road to being a person I should be. |

Ashley, it wasn't long ago that you were posting about being discouraged and not knowing what direction your life needed to take. I'm so glad you've found a path that is fulfilling for you. I hope good things keep coming your way.

I hope good things keep coming your way. Yes, my DH's unemployment forced me to do something I'm actually terrified of. Funny how life works sometimes. |

Ashley, you are definitely one of the best parts of this board! You're respectful and encouraging and you put a lot of thought into your replies. You will do fabulously in this new venture! I hope you continue to share it with us!

Unemployment makes us do all kinds of things we didn't think we could do before. BTDT, and kudos to you for bringing yourself and your family to a better, happier place for all of you!

Hey ashley, I have been on vacation and then busy upon my return, totally missed your news. Remember that you had been job hunting. What is your new situation? Sounds exciting and I'm really happy for you! |

Hey ashley, I have been on vacation and then busy upon my return, totally missed your news. Remember that you had been job hunting. What is your new situation? Sounds exciting and I'm really happy for you! I got a job! I had an interview the first week of July and he called a few days later with an offer. I posted about it here. I'll be starting in a few weeks. I think it will be a very good job -- although it will be a long commute -- and I'm pretty excited to start on this new chapter in my life. |

I am really excited for Ashley's new career path--but also kind of sad because with the challenging schedule she'll have, I have the feeling we'll be seeing less of her on the Board.  |

I'm going to have quite a bit of commute (train/bus) every day and planning on buying a Chromebook thingy and there's wifi, so..........  |

I've been trying to make pages more quickly and have been filming process videos at night, but I'll probably only be able to scrapbook on weekends (like the rest of the normal world!) and not sure how much of my weekend time will be available once I start work. I have a huge room full of scrapbooking stuff, and not planning on giving it up entirely. I am hoping I can use my commute time for things like journalling and some page-planning, so make scrapbooking a little quicker when I have time to assemble a page. |
