Find a place to live in Columbus? I'll have that done this weekend.

I'm going to piece together a living until I get my business going back in Ohio. For the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful.

4. Thanks

I've been talking to others in my field who are self-employed and their practices don't seem to be suffering in this economy. I have my niche, know my strengths and will build on that. :)

[femmocrat]

5. Best of luck, lizzie!

There's no place like home! :hi:

[lizziegrace]

6. Thank you...

I found a house to rent. Built in 1864. Since I'll be working from home, I want to be someplace that I love. :)

[Whoa_Nelly]

To paraphrase Nietzsche: be bold, and mighty forces will come to your aid!

[InternalDialogue]

15. I'm so glad you've given yourself this to be excited about!

You'll get to really succeed because of you, not some employers who just heard your name a week ago.

You're going to do great, and you know you've got hundreds of people here behind you all the way.

:)

[lizziegrace]

16. Thank you..

I'll be able to fill in more of the blanks after my trip down this weekend. Your encouragement means the world to me. :hug:

[jobycom]

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

26. ...

:hug:

[SallyMander]

27. OMG YAY

I am SO happy to read this, because (a) you DESERVE to be hopeful and have things work out, godammit!!! and (b) you're coming back!!!

:woohoo:

:party:

I can't wait to see the new (old) place!!! Let me know if you need anything! :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

29. Thank you sweetie!

:hug:

It doesn't have a washer/dryer or refrigerator. I can get by without a washer by using a laundromat. Refrigerator is another matter. It will work out somehow.

:-)

Oh, and the mowing. You saw the lot size in the ad, right? :wow:

[Dangerously Amused]

28. Well crap. I mean, yaaaaay!

:dilemma:


:bounce:


:cry:

[lizziegrace]

31. I know...

this is bittersweet. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

30. My dear lizzie!

Proactive is so much more empowering than reactive!

Atta girl!

Ohio will welcome you back with open arms...and wallets!

:yourock: :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

33. I hope so!

:)

[no name no slogan]

36. That is sooooo good to hear!

Sounds like you've got a plan and you're taking action. :D

[lizziegrace]

37. This is only the first step

Yikes! :scared:

[tigereye]

39. good for you! Running your own show is hard, but well worth it

it's really nice to work for yourself, other than trying to make sure everyone pays their invoices.... :rofl:

[lizziegrace]

41. That's the tough part

Clients tend to pay employees and suppliers before they pay attorneys and accountants...

[tigereye]

54. our accountant seems to do pretty well - and usually we pay his bill right

away since we want him to file in a timely fashion!

Good luck!

[1gobluedem]

42. Yay!

Even to the Columbus part...:evilgrin:

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[lizziegrace]

44. Hehe

friendship trumps Ohio State/Michigan rivalry. ;)


I'd be lying if I told you I wasn't terrified. Absolutely terrified. :(

[Aristus]

43. I'm glad to hear you have some hope, lizzie.

Hang in there...

:hug::loveya:

[lizziegrace]

45. ...

:*

:hug:

[applegrove]

46. Goodluck!

[lizziegrace]

48. I need it

:hug:

Thank you...

[GOPisEvil]

47. Wow! That's stepping out there! Go you!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

49. Heh...

The first time I ever wallpapered, it was to cover up 70's paneling. I had to put up backing paper and all. Most would have started with a border, but not me. I wish I knew how to do small. Life would be so much less stressful. x(

:hug:

[Lil Missy]

50. I'm glad things are looking up for you. I missed the news of you starting your own business.

What kind of business are you starting? At any rate, I wish you much success.

:)

[lizziegrace]

52. Thanks

I'm an accountant. My focus is on small businesses and software support. :)

[merh]

51. It's amazing what peace can be realized when you take that step

when you decide you deserve to be happy and you can make it happen, on your own terms.

You can do it, lizzie - don't ever give up hope or belief in yourself.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

53. Thank you Merh.

You will always be a hero of mine and you inspire me. :hug:

[seemunkee]

55. Good Luck

I'm sure you will be a great success. Couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

[lizziegrace]

57. Thank you

Nothing like jumping into the deep end. :hug:

[Redstone]

56. It takes guts to start business, especially right now. PM me with some info on what your're doing,

OK? I'll se if there's anything I can do to help you out; I'm a start-your-own-business veteran, and most of them have worked out pretty well.

Redstone

[lizziegrace]

58. Check your PM shortly

:hug:

[Redstone]

59. Got it, and answered. Hang in there; you'll be OK.
