I appreciate the read and the comment!<BR/><BR/>@Ellen, I have read a great deal about the varying intelligence theory and wish it were more widely understood and practiced in education. But, I guess that's a post for another day! :-)<BR/><BR/>@Steph, I am happy to be the vessel that validated what you knew in your heart was right. I left sunshine prints on your blog ;-) and will continue to cheer you on as you boldly take control of your destiny!<BR/><BR/>@Michele,I am really thankful we met and loved talking with you tonight.

Before your call this evening I was feeling low as I googled the job sites, knowing that there was not a job out there that fit my purpose. What you spoke of in this blog was exactly what I needed to hear. Keep on speaking the truth.<BR/>In Christ,<BR/>Michele TrotmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701819.post-51704080092580748822008-05-09T13:46:00.000-04:002008-05-09T13:46:00.000-04:00Oh my God, this is perfect.

This is a huge theory in educational circles, via Howard Gardner. Probably 2/3 of people are visual learners, versus the other 1/3 of strictly absorbing written material.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701819.post-55584493662309737462008-05-08T14:45:00.000-04:002008-05-08T14:45:00.000-04:00Excellent Karen.

There was a time for you to break free of corporate and a time for you to return. All of your experiences build upon one another and when you take the next leap you'll be well prepared. I for one am happy that when you're paroled, I can greet you by name at the gate. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971459039767092235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701819.post-63159343031447282552008-05-08T09:10:00.000-04:002008-05-08T09:10:00.000-04:00What an inspiring story, Karen!About 10 years ago,...What an inspiring story, Karen!<BR/><BR/>About 10 years ago, I jumped out of a bad job and went to work for myself.<BR/><BR/>Even though everyone thought I was nuts to do it, I made money and had tons of fun.<BR/><BR/>Yet somewhere along the line I fell prey to corporate recidivism and ended up back in the workaday world.<BR/><BR/>Your post is timely.

It is wonderful that we can support & encourage one another.<BR/><BR/>@Ellen, ooh, you and your visual intelligence. I love that you made that connection. I still get overwhelmed too but like you said the blogging buddies are a huge help. There is so much wisdom, and support that as we stand together our foundation becomes stronger than it ever would be with just a single brick. Yay community! There is also so much darn humor that when things go horribly wrong, someone is there with a laugh!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971459039767092235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701819.post-49509527772197382192008-05-07T20:20:00.000-04:002008-05-07T20:20:00.000-04:00Wow Karen.

You find out something new about a person everyday!<BR/><BR/>I think the think that stands out for me about this piece is linking the old building with your state of mind. It seems solid and immovable and dependable - a structure to depend on. It's true you must have a firm foundation, but like you said, sometimes you just have to jump into it, and no amount of planning will prepare you for it. <BR/>I often feel overwhelmed, but I keep plugging along. That is where all of our blogging buddies come in! They do it, I do it, etc. A community of movers give eachother a foundation. Yeah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11701819.post-58431346221631101152008-05-07T10:06:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:06:00.000-04:00You are such an inspiration Karen.Thanks for shari...You are such an inspiration Karen.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing this poignant, powerful and inspirational story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
