"I signed up for this program to change my life"

I signed up for this program to change my life. I work full time in a large telecom and have for 24 years. 
This year I divorced after 27 years. I decided in the height of the pandemic that I’m launching my jewelry business which I’ve dreamed of doing for about 5.5 years. Why not take a leap of faith I told myself. To that end I hired a vendor to produce my line of jewelry, purchased the small boxes to ship items to customers, hired a graphic artist to create my logo, hired Web Designer to create my Web Site and I’m researching Domestic and International Postal Rates to try to launch by mid-November. In addition, I help look after my 88-year old Mother and two very spoiled cats. So I juggle a great deal each day. I guess one could say my days are full. I am blessed.
