Time to Get Serious

Well, folks, my two-month mental health break is officially over.

This afternoon I met with my career/life coach, "L", for the first time since ending my real estate career and she actually assigned some homework. Yep, I'm back in the saddle. Oh joy.

I'm in the "discovery" phase of my search during which I'm to brainstorm about types of industries as well as specific companies that might be of interest to me. I'm also to keep a log of any and all people I know who might be able to help with this process. To this end, "L" suggested that I consider whether any of my high school classmates could be of use. Truth be told, I'd prefer not to think of most of them at all. Isn't it enough that I survived my 20th reunion relatively unscathed and only a little bitter? Now I might have to ask some of them for help and with my luck it will be the ones who I'd really, really rather not.

Unfortunately, it is also an excellent suggestion. So I'll do it. Grudgingly.

Thank goodness I also have my real estate friends to fall back on, and if any one group of people is well-connected it is the REALTOR organization. Guess my 12 years in the business weren't for naught after all.

Let the fun begin.
