As I'm sure you've already noticed, I have not been posting much over the last several months. The reason for that is that I've been busy dealing with the state of the economy. From early January through the beginning of July, I fought a rear-guard action as I watched my income from my principal employment shrink to the point of disappearing. Since then I've been working hard to replace that income.
Obviously, I'm not the only one dealing with economic issues, and I don't mean to cry "poor me." But I do admit that dealing with all of this has taken considerable time and caused a fair amount of stress. Through it all, however, I had two things that helped a lot.
First, I have a wife who believes in me. Second, I have my faith... faith that if I do my part, Spirit will do its part, too. Yes, there were times that I worried. And there were times that I thought I'd have to find another career path. But every morning and every evening I'd say a prayer of thanks, knowing that it could have been far worse.
I'm happy to report that things are looking much better. I've restarted my consulting career, which was put on hold some five years ago, and the work is building. Moving forward, I've promised myself I would post here at least once a week.
So... now you know where I've been and why. If my story is similar to yours, remember that faith -- both in ourselves and in the Divine -- can help keep you stable as you work through the difficult times. And keeping the faith in times of trouble is an important part of living a life with Spirit.
In peace,
Lane
