Blogging My Adventures

This past January I decided it was time to leave my full time job as a retail administrative assistant. After 13 years with the company and very little increase in pay, I knew it was time to move on. While I was grateful for my time with the company there was little opportunity for growth, personally, professionally or financially. I’ve been working online since January 2021 and right from the beginning, I was making more online than I was making at my full-time job often putting in as few hours as 15 to 20 per week online and almost doubling my salary of my full-time job. So the decision to leave was not a difficult one, at best all my dreams would come true at worst, I’d go back and get a similar job to what I was leaving. With a little to no risk involved I started my adventure and as part of that adventure I have decided to begin writing on my blog again. A couple of years ago I had this same blog it was monetized. It was beginning to earn money, and then it got demonetized the type of content I was creating violated some of the monetization policies. I tend to be a very all or nothing person and quickly became discouraged.

So here we are 2026 my fourth month of being self-employed and I’ve decided to pick up my virtual pen and begin sharing all of my scattered thoughts with you. I am keeping it in perspective. I don’t expect this to be award winning blog. I don’t expect to have a huge following, but what I am hoping to have is a small community of like-minded Gen Xers who may have found themselves in a similar position of starting over. Starting over with the original theme of the blog and I think it’s a good one when I started this blog as I was getting divorced or in the process of getting divorced, which took a really long time, thanks to Covid and now I’m restarting this blog to document starting my career over.
I am not claiming to be skilled in any way in blogging, computers, writing or even the ability tocommunicate my thoughts clearly I don’t know about spacing and double spacing. I wasn’t even good at typing when we had typewriter so I’m gonna do the best I can to put out a blog for you and I’m gonna try to do it every week and I hope you’ll stick around for a while.

Thank you for listening, Patsy.
