Time to Turn Another Page

Today is my last day on the job I have been working since January this year. It's time to move on. Not much to say but when your values do not match the values of your work it is time to turn the page. A couple of weeks ago I gave my notice and today a weight I choose to no longer carry was dropped from my shoulders

I don't know what the next chapter looks like right now but I know I do not yet want to retire. People have ask what I want to do next. Right now I want a couple weeks to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

An ideal job to me is to do something where I make people smile. The only thing I can figure out that fits a job description like that will send me to the store to buy a big soft red rubber nose.

In the mean time I have some speaking engagements and if anyone else wants me to speak my calendar is pretty open.

You have given me hope. We are almost a year into our 26 year old sons addiction to meth. We have lost everything and so can no longer give in to his demands for money. He said it was to use to pay debts but I think it was to feed his habit. We take each day as it comes and hope one day he will realise that for us to help him he has to want help and be prepared to help himself. Your blog makes me feel less alone. The world needs more good people like you. God bless and keep you safe.

Ron you are a man who is true to himself. I hope your future is blessed with all the things that will fulfill your soul.

I know you will figure it out, Ron. Good that you are doing what you think is right. Much easier to keep peace of mind that way.

You are very inspirational. You should look to post guest blogs on websites. Free lancer .com is a good place to find work. Keep up the good blog

Hi, I made a Youtube video in memory of my brother Daniel, who tragically passed away 9 years ago in an ongoing battle for addiction. This video is in dedication to Daniel, and was also made to help spread awareness for addiction. If you are, or know someone, who is struggling with addiction, please share this with them. My hope is that no family will have to endure the pain my family has felt for these past 9 years. Please take some time out of your day to share with others and to help spread awareness!! Together we can truly shatter the stigma and stop the silence. Enjoy the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6afkpgmHK6w
