Transitions in Life

6/30/25

I started to write a post yesterday, but there were some technical difficulties. By the time I got things straightened out, it was time to go to work.

This morning, I realized there was something that I forgot to include in my last post. Although I had not been posting here, I had decided to make some improvements in my writing as a career. So, I went back to school and received my certifications in journalism, copy-editing, and advanced copywriting.

While I love working as a DSP, it is a physically demanding job, and there have been days that I have had to cancel due to painful joints and inflammation (that will be a discussion for another time). The organization I work for has been outstanding in their support for employees taking time off when needed, but I hate letting the clients down. When I don’t show up, it means my clients go without services. But it does not help the clients if I cannot physically perform my job and keep them safe either.

 So, while thinking about future possibilities, I realized that I won’t be able to perform my job indefinitely. I decided I want to work from home again as a writer. I will be making the transition slowly, making sure that there will be a qualified DSP to take my place before I leave.

In the meantime, I will continue working on my writing portfolio and working short-term side gigs.

Well, that’s all the time I have for today. To all the writers out there, have a blessed week, and keep up the good work, painting pictures with words!
