Just came back from the library. I have been doing research on alternative career paths. To tell you the truth, it is actually a lot of fun. You must make a good assessment of your skills and your style of performing in the workplace. Is what they call a "holistic" assessment. The human mind is an amazing instrument. It can forget so easily. By thinking hard about all the tasks I have performed in my professional career and listing them I have made myself aware that I tend to forget how efficient and thorough I have been on my different jobs. Listing all my previous experiences and how I used my ability to analyze, synthesize, communicate made me feel better automatically. How could I have forgotten my ability to be tactful and diplomatic when explaining a difficult situation to my fellow co-workers.? How could I have forgotten about the time when I worked for two months successfully trying to sort out a contract dispute between photographers and a publishing company? I always felt I was handicapped because I have held more than 15 different jobs and because I speak English with a Spanish accent. These "handicaps" were hidden talents. On one hand I am highly adaptable to any job situation, on the other I have a unique bi-cultural perspective. How could I've been so blind?
I hope I can maintain the vision, the "I am a success" vision and not get sidetracked by dreadful comparisons to other people with different circumstances. Or sidetracked by the limiting impositions of my mind that expects to achieve, achieve and achieve without rhyme nor reason. Frustration should be seen as a pink flag ( we do not have red flags at the ranch) warning you to change your perspective in order to see the truth of the matter. In the meantime I breathe and do my homework.

PC I think that if our business ever bites the dust, I will try my hand at being a baker. See my post that I just uploaded.
Take care and good luck with your research
That was exactly the right thing to do! We all know you are wonderful, you just had to catch up. :D
A pink flag. That made me giggle! You are a success, Pink. I can easily see that you are very tactful and diplomatic. And the ability to speak both fluent Spanish, as well as English should be very useful. Keep taking those deep breathes. It will come.
You can do anything you set your mind to, PC! Go, go, go!
I know you have been through a lot lately, and it's been tough. Think of Louise Hay-all is well and all will be well. You will be an asset wherever you find work, always remember that.
love,
