When you feel the world falls in front of your eyes

My baby is going through tough times; she has been working hard raising 3 kids and not having much support.

Few weeks ago she was told that she would loose her job…..wow ! that is the reality of the world these days, companies buy companies, corporations go belly up etc…. in the end its people who are suffering trying to find new jobs to make ends meet…what can we do about it….DON”T GIVE UP

Years ago I was in this situation, back in 1987 when I arrived to Australia I was looking for any job, although I had a Bachelor degree in business I found out that finding the right job was difficult, I got rejected day after day. Excuses varied from under qualified to over qualified and anything in between. I recall applying for kitchen hand jobs, cleaner, security guard, anything that will bring money in…. then I got an offer as a production clerk in a small factory, I recall that I celebrated by going to Mac Donald’s, as it was what I could afford then. After nearly 3 month of hard work and dedication, long hours etc…my manager called me and gave one week notice, just like that no excuses no reasons. I was shocked and I felt that the whole world came tumbling down, I had bills to pay I had accumulated debts etc, I went home angry and cried out like a baby…at 30 years of age I felt that I could not handle this….


After a couple of days, my boss called me to tell me that the reason for him to let me go was that the Owners wife, who was a snobby person, did like me and that she wanted me out before she came back from her holiday in Bali….he said that my work was ok and he had no problems about the way I worked, he said that he will give me a good reference and if I need anything I could call him.

That gave me hope to pick up the pieces and fight another day. For 8 weeks I persisted on finding a job, again rejections, disappointments etc. but I never gave up I wanted to prove that I am worth something and that I will succeed.

After 8 weeks, I was interviewed and I was offered a job, well I did stay with this firm for 9 years and moved on to were I am today.

Babe, I am feeling your aches and pains, I know that its not fair and that you think it’s the end of the road and “ Why me” and “why cant it be better”. And you are afraid of the future.

But you also down deep know that you will find from your inner strength the drive to move on and get things on track, might take time but it will happen if you persist. You know that the angels you have are depending on you and you will not let them down.

I am here to support you and help you to make the right choices, to guide you and give you advice. Each of us have a guarding angel I have mine and I am sure you have yours..

We will look back that these bad moments and laugh,remember your plan for next year I think its time to be it slowly in motion and share those feelings with you know who….you will feel better….trust me.

Love you
