I know that most of you visit this blog to get away from politics, economical talk and job distress, but our nation’s situation has hit home in more ways than one and I think it’s my responsibility to address a few things.

Rarely do I get personal on the blog, and I like to keep it that way, mostly b/c I lead quite the boring life of take out and TV. BUT… if you want to get personal, you can email me anytime. I’m an open book, just not “online.”

BUT today, I’m disheartened that a few close friends of mine have lost, or are losing their jobs. Few are the sole breadwinners of their family and will risk losing their homes, cars and/or possessions. I think it’s important for us all to support each other in this community, so I’m taking a break from posting to seek help for the aforementioned few. I’d like to list their cities and/or job positions and descriptions and would love if any of you can help with some networking and/or creative job ideas for the below individuals. I will vouch for each of these people and would hire them myself if I could!

So, if you or anyone you know has any contacts in the below fields and/or cities, I’d love to hear from you. I can set you up with the job seekers [who you may already know] and you can go from there.

Thank you a billion for reading this far and for your kind nature. I’m so blessed to have a readership of brilliant and ENCOURAGING people. You are all so, so inspiring for me! In return, if any of you are also struggling with your current jobs, I’d love to help in any way. Email me and I can add you to the ‘job-seekers’ list, which unfortunately, may need to become a weekly installment in this time of turmoil.
