Sometimes life does not seem to make sense. Life seems to be sounding more like Alanis Morissette’s Ironic each and everyday. I should explain.

Two years ago, our military family moved from Japan to the United States after three years in beautiful Northern Japan. I looked forward to coming back to the Midwest and finally finding a job after seven years as a stay at home mom and wife. Well, for two years, I have been trying to get a job. It would seem my hopes are a bit hopeless which is more than frustrating as I had a great career before getting married.

Today I was told by a recruiter, “We will not be forwarding your resume for the administrative/clerk position as you have not had experience since coming back from Japan”. As I hung up the receiver, I curled into a ball and cried my eyes out. How does one get experience stateside if no one will hire me to get experience?!

Alright, enough complaining. Truthfully, the amount of ways I have somehow managed to NOT land a job within the past two years is something of a miracle at this point. I wonder if there is something else out there for me? I mean could all my praying, crying and hours spent at job fairs and updating resumes somehow been pushing me to just do the obvious?

Last year, I looked heavily into starting a blog and actually bought this website with all good intentions of starting off on my own blogging endeavor. Life happened and I ended up pushing it to the back burner working hard to land myself a job. Seeing how successful I have been at my goal (LOL) and in absolute desperation, I laughed at dinner tonight telling my husband my only hope at helping our family with financial freedom may be starting a blog.

Is blogging possible? I mean you read stories of people making money, but am I really capable of bringing money with one? The humbled side of me says, well that would be a miracle. The always positive side of me says, “Yeah! Go for it!”.

So here I am. Wondering how I could have forgotten so many grammar rules and praying for grace while also hoping for a miracle. I hardly know how to post this post, but if there is anyway to bring in extra money for our family through a blog, I am setting a goal to achieve it. Hope you will continue on the journey!
