Head-Lines

Life has a way of throwing you a curve when you least expect it...:(

My curve was notification of separation from my career at Merck.  I has survived the first two rounds of cutbacks, but was not spared from the third.  Now what?

So many people have offered kind words of encouragement and solace during this difficult time, but one common denominator has caught my attention...most people feel this loss of my job is a blessing in disguise. I have been told that I was wasting my talents and abilities in corporate Amercia and now have an opportunity to develop my spiritual gifts and talents. Could this really be (as the old cliche states)  "opportunity knocking?"  Is God trying to show me a new path?

"I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

Several people have suggested that I take my nature photography and make it available on canvas, in matted frames, and as art collages.  They said I should open an eBay store or an online webstore.  I am very passionate about photography...I can use my creativity, I enjoy it, and I try to make others happy through sharing it...so could this be my new path?

Am I the only one that can hear the theme from Jeopardy playing in the background?...
