Oh Kathy, I suspect you don’t need my help at all! :)) Thanks for saying so. 🙂

Congrats on the plan working so well this year! I’m sure I owe some of my own financial success to your advice, which I read every day … even when I’m too busy to comment.

See Kimberly? It was a better year than you thought, wasn't it? :))

Angie, I'm glad I found your blog, too. It's uplifting and much fun.

Good for you, Amie!

Lillie, I'll certainly respond. Sounds like fun! And I'm very impressed with your honest scraps.

Devon, great point. Gravitate toward what we love doing and the job is that much more rewarding.

I was lame on three, but I did okay on the others.

I also learned not to pursue jobs just for the money in areas that don't interest me, because I don't enjoy them, and, frankly, the money's not worth it.

By marketing myself to those areas that DO interest me, I remain excited by the work, the quality is higher, and I get a better pay rate.

Lori,
One of the things you do so well is tell it like it is. That’s why I’ve awarded you the Honest Scrap Award. You can read the details on my blog. You are under no obligation to respond unless you choose to do so. I just wanted to recognize you for honesty in your posts.

I wish I'd read this before I posted my latest entry! Oh well . . .

I learned how much better life is when you are doing work you love. Happy New Year, Lori!

Well, I fell short in some areas, but that’s what the NEW YEAR is for! Have enjoyed your blog. Hope your 09 is a true banner year in every way.

Oh I LOVE this post – it gives me a victorious feeling because there really were some bumpy moments, but I’m still here. I learned that I CAN do make a living doing this, and that freelancing is what I love.
