I'm wishing the best for you on a quick and hopefully painless job search.<br /><br />And as for a hopefully easy answer to one of your questions, couldn't you go on COBRA at work during the gap? I'm not sure how much your health insurance is or how much your company pays, but it has to be less than the full cost of your medicine? Of course, I think it's the obvious answer working in insurance, but maybe COBRA isn't nearly as clear otherwise?Shoshanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15707241263291051104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-10815566268355426352014-04-09T17:51:59.953-05:002014-04-09T17:51:59.953-05:00I am so so happy this year is behind you.

And, in some ways, I'm sure it feels like such a relief to write it. In other ways, it must be heartbreaking to be able to write this post without knowing your immediate future plans. <br /><br />My guess is WHEN you relocate to a city you love, and after some time to get back in the groove, we will see a happy, confident, positive Lisa again. BUT ... I don't think you'll ever be the same. I think this past year has changed you for the better. I think you're now more clear about what's important to you, what are the deal breakers in life, etc. Not to say you had no clue before, because that's far from the case, but I think your beliefs have been solidified beyond where they were a year ago.<br /><br />Here's hoping you're "BACK" sooner rather than later. Cheering for your homecoming, whenever it is!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-84664224341016486872014-04-08T15:45:20.190-05:002014-04-08T15:45:20.190-05:00You made it!!!

I am so inspired by the bravery and courage you have showed this past year to make it through this terrible year that was riddled by SO MUCH horrible things. It's not only that you had to move to a city you didn't like - but you also had to deal with personal battles and medical crap. SO. Be proud of being a survivor and making it through this year. It took a lot of strength and guts to keep standing after all the hits you sustained.<br /><br />And now? Let's get you the hell out of CLT. Fingers and toes are crossed that you'll find something new in your beloved Minneapolis very soon. <3Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-89848498764807434452014-04-08T12:09:01.315-05:002014-04-08T12:09:01.315-05:00North Carolina is a right-to-work state, so non-co...North Carolina is a right-to-work state, so non-complete clauses aren't worth the paper they are printed on here. Don't sweat that.<br /><br />And congratulations on hitting the mark! Think of this as step 1 completed. Now step 2 is finding the next job/city, but that would be meaningless without step 1 being completed first. <br /><br />and finally, remember that Asheville always needs financial advisers.

I know that'...Congratulations on the year mark! I know that's a huge big deal for you. And a relief!<br /><br />I think you have changed in another way that is a positive one. You have really grown up. You allude to it in being a survivor but the fact is, you have had to learn to make a new life in a new environment that isn't the one you love. That takes growing up. You've learned to work with people that you care about less than others you know. And work effectively. That is growing up. You've always seemed to travel comfortably on your own, but you have learned that to survive, you must explore and you have. Lisa, you are a survivor - but you are a grown up one, taking on life and hard knocks (including the medical ones) and coming out on top. It's not just surviving. It is letting yourself move forward and make the best. Would you have learned all these things about yourself had you stayed in Minnesota? Maybe. But maybe not. So embrace those -- and continue doing your best to get out of Dodge!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-56494410057759512732014-04-08T07:48:10.062-05:002014-04-08T07:48:10.062-05:00You survived!
