This is it, the end of the blog, but not, by far, the end of the Ruskin Project. Once my kitchen reno started, I failed miserably at steering away from posts about my kitchen. Clearly I need a job related to home rehab work. Construction management perhaps? How do I find work combining or making use of my media interest, passion for home renovation, love of cooking, and penchant for endurance sports? These three things take up most of my time and draw me in time and time again, no matter how many challenges there seem to be.
TriBuy.co, the biz venture I'm working on, is combining a few of my interests. This site will launch in about a week with a splash page allowing visitors to learn about us, sign up to be notified when we launch our fully functional site (December, we hope!), and take a survey or email us feedback. It's an exciting new business to be a part of and I doubt I would have begun this had I not been laid off.
My home projects and thoughts of buying and flipping a condo are beginning to stir... Perhaps a plan will be in place soon on this front.
Overall, I'm so incredibly grateful for this time to explore and learn and let myself see what pops up that I want to do. How lucky I feel to step down off the work treadmill for a while and run about doing whatever I want, whenever I want, to learn as much as I want! After many weeks now of getting to feel and think through my interests, I'm looking forward to taking on a focused job hunt. It will be a rewarding challenge, not a daunting task. But only because I feel relaxed and excited about it, instead of fearful and pessimistic.
Bring on the next chapter!
No - you need to keep on - tomorrow could be day 0, then the next, day -1, day -2, etc.
ReplyDeleteI saw your site show up in my own blog's stats a while back, finally read through your posts the other night and am glad I did. (You were a lot more productive around the house during your time off than I was, that's for sure :) Thanks for sharing your experiences; good luck!
