IN TOUCH CLIENTS...
I am looking at a "possible" new office space later this week. I know going in that it is not ideal, "some noise" may be an issue. It is comparable in space & monthly lease so that's a plus. It's likely my only option.

I truly don't know if I'm going to continue. I am barely working now, & racking up debt, & the expense of a lease won't be an option much longer anyway.

I built a niche business that I truly thought would be economy proof. It has survived surgeries, recoveries, leaves of absence to help my parents, the pandemic, & funerals. It has been struggling with getting a handle on my now chronic health issues, & my grief for Dad. And then this economy. I never, ever saw this coming, & my clients who can't afford me now feel the same. The economy may be the nail in the coffin here.

I really don't know what to do, & as the person that people came to for help figuring out what to do, that's hard to swallow. I don't have the funds, & am not able to take the time, to go back to school for something else. My health makes working for someone else unlikely for very long. Leads for online work have gone nowhere.

I plan to keep my mobile clients for as long as they're able to keep me, but that won't touch my bills.

So, yeah. I'll keep you posted.

IN TOUCH CLIENTS.
Well, everyone I guess.

Last Monday, I got my walking papers for my office space.

The city has sold the building, & businesses have six months to vacate. Holding firm with this 2025 energy that started in early January, the Centre is not being relocated to a new home. Non-profits just don't generate revenue. The only thing they do is help people.

There are about 20 small businesses in the Centre. A few will likely have no problem transitioning to a commercial lease in a new building. The rest of us are too small. A commercial lease is WAY out of our budget, that's why we're at the BDC. Regardless of buisiness size or employee count, the majority of the tenants (& sometimes some of their employees) have built really good relationships, & this is not the typical office building "energy". It will be incredibly sad when that ends. I have been genuinely happy working in this building.

I have not made a decision regarding any "plan" for me going forward. I had some imaging & tests yesterday that were not a follow up kind of thing. When I get those results, I'll know which direction to go.

My office is THE last thing that I have that is exactly the same as it was Before. Some days, it's been my safe space. Dad saw that space, sat on the corner bench, & told me that he was impressed. He told me he was proud of me. I'm going to have some really big feelings about losing my office when I can wrap my brain around more than tests & imaging & doctor's appointments. For the moment, it's just one more loss.

The tenants will know all of the details in early January, & I have a Cardiology appointment towards the end of January. I'll share what I know, as all of this goes along, as soon as I am able to.

A heartfelt & sincere THANK YOU to all of my clients - also known as my Friends - for your patronage, support, understanding, & patience these last five years. I am honored & humbled by the faith & trust you instilled in me, & I value the relationships that have grown over the years. You are the reason I had any level of success, & that I was able to take the time for my family when it was needed. You are the reason that I even had a business to return to, after all the things. You carried me these last three years, & that has not been an easy thing. You have been such a blessing in my life. In this regard, at least, my cup truly runneth over.

The only thing constant is change.
