Have Skills, Will Starve.

I’m skilled, I am. I good at what I do and I like doing it (most days) but I just can’t seem to rally enough hours of work to make a living. I have some savings I can dip into, but as one who was raised for many years just shy of the poverty line (outward appearances notwithstanding), I hate the idea of eating into my padding. This leaves me with the imminent reality of a cafe job in the very very near future. I don’t mind it so much but I’m frustrated that when I leaped into my new adventure (read: freelancing & yoga teacher training) after a few years of being very comfortable but unhappy, that somehow the universe didn’t decide that it was gonna acknowledge and reward my bravery with a bit of a better paved road.
OK, pity party over. And out.

Keep up the confidence, volunteer to teach the classes, and yes…when you need to, spend a minute complaining about what’s bothering you. But then box it away and get back to the positive feelings.
You can do it! You obviously have a lot going for you including talents, drive, friends, and family. Enjoy today.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. The nice thing about ‘off day’ is that they highlight the good ones.
