You may not know my story – I’d love to share it with you.

Ten years ago I had just turned 40, I was married to my college sweetheart – we were working on 20 years of marriage & I had a 5 year old daughter. We were pursing the American dream – I had a high paying corporate job – I’m an RN & I worked for a health care corporation & was responsible for several states. It was suppose to be my dream job – the one I climbed & climbed that corporate ladder for – working tirelessly to advance my career – long hours, weekends in my home office …..

When I reached that “dream job” it turned out to be a nightmare. I hated it – all of it. I was always in the car or on a plane. I spent most of my time dealing with really nasty people who didn’t share my caring and compassion for employees, patients or anything else except the bottom line.

I decided to leave the job and take a little time off to spend time with my family before my daughter started to school. It was in the glory days of eBay – where you could list anything & sell it for top dollar. I had started collecting vintage Barbies and knew I could make enough money on eBay to take a little time off and regroup.

I did and I loved it. I realized that my greatest desire was and had always been the freedom of doing my own thing, working from home.

After I had been doing this for a few months, my husband had a massive stroke two days after his 42nd birthday. He was left totally disabled with severe disabilities …..

That was just over a year ago. Today, 10 years since the beginning of my story, I just turned 50, I am married to my dream man, we live in my dream house and I have my dream job! ….
