[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 578934, member: 13542"] Lisa, just to set your mind a little at ease so you don't take it personally, the way the economy is right now, there are an average of 100 or more folks showing up for every single job, the days of being called back to say, sorry, you didn't get the job, are over. And, as IC says, there is ageism too............and having said all that, hoping you can let go of the 'it must be me' part.............keep at it, there is something that will reveal itself. Have you ever thought of doing something to share your expertise, you excel in ways to live within a small budget, this is valuable knowledge that you could share, perhaps in a community college, or an adult Ed. or a community center where classes are held. Here where I live, there is an adult ed program that is run at the HS but it is the community college that sponsors it and you can apply to teach there, anyone with any expertise can do that. The classes are varied. You have so much life experience and knowledge and you are very good at articulating your knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. If all of that doesn't work, perhaps a church would let you have a room and you could advertise the class around town and do it yourself. So many people are looking for ways to live simply out of necessity and unlike you, they have no clue how to get there. You know budgets, gardening, shopping at garage sales, cooking, care of animals in an inexpensive way, Lisa, you know [I][U]a lot.[/U][/I] Make that work for you. As the saying goes, if you can't find a way, MAKE a way. Sending good thoughts, prayers and hopes that you are guided to the perfect place where your expertise will be valued. (((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
