A much more interesting word than "navel" or god forbid "belly button."

Thanks, Jim. It’s been a slog, but we got there. Now it’s time to start putting together a move across the country (a considerably smaller thing in the UK than in the US).

Those earlier details are so often left out by headline writers bragging about their writing or online money making conquests. Good for you for doing all that legwork and congratulations on the new job.

Thank you, Cali. I think the real story is always more interesting. A couple more details. I was feeling down the day of the fateful interview because I’d driven to Bath and back for another interview the day before and really messed up on a key section. I was underprepared because my current job was crazy busy that week. But something seemed to click as we talked.

Congratulations Jeff. You and your family deserve this. I hope it all goes well and that we don’t lose touch. I’d still like to use that voice on occasions.

Thank you so much, Beth. You know where to find me. I’m always happy to sit under a blanket and read a script for you.

Clarification for all readers of the above comment: sitting under a blanket is how I record voiceovers. I don't have a studio, so that's the best way to get a clean vocal recording without any room noise.

Very timely to read. My daughter is manifesting a different work platform. I’m forwarding this on to her. It’s so good to hear how all is well for you and your family. I have internet “weirdly “ tonight. So I hopped on. Glad I did. Here’s to calling things that are not as though they are!

She can do it! The number of times I had to remind myself over those four months that I was worth the salary I was going for, that I was employable, that I had the drive to going – it was a large number of times.

I am grateful when the NOW gets answered. It’s intentional living we do, no matter what we’re intent on because we are aware of this present gift 🎁
