About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	Call it karma or a market crash, but my 30 year corporate career in the advertising business is over. Now what? For weeks I kept waiting for this statement to be met with someone, anyone, saying, "Oh that's not true...just give it some time." But no one did!! In fact, everyone seemed to be encouraging me to find a new career path, or perhaps, to just 'enjoy life'. And, while I do want to enjoy life, I need a career. I don't golf and the truth is, I don't have the hand-eye coordination to play any sport. I can't seem to remember how to count cards well enough to play Bridge, and have enough trouble investing in a goldfish let alone the gold market. Follow your passion everyone kept saying to me, and one morning, I realized I did have a passion. Beyond the usual suspects of husband, kids and dogs, I love to bake. So, why not try to bake bread to make 'bread', I said to myself. And since I have a feeling this journey might be more bumpy, funny and messy than other ideas I've had (like working at the pet store or opening a bed & breakfast, I've decided to write it all down. I hope you'll come back and check in on me. I could use the company. So here I begin...yikes!
