June 29, 2020 ” Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin’ up
And how do we spend our lives if there’s no-one to lend us a hand I don’t wanna live here no more, I don’t wanna stay
Ain’t gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away”…. Alan Parsons Project
Dear Reader, Two months have passed since I have posted in this sacred space in time. I will try to keep my thoughts organized as best I can to keep from using too much “Stream of Consciousness.” Deb is in Miami staying with our daughter Kate. She is such a beautiful soul and inherited many traits of mine from the 46 chromosome gene pool. Most good…others are a challenge….The depression, anxiety, fear, but not temper. Since the plague arrived, she has been collecting unemployment insurance as the hotel on South Beach where she manages is closed and there is no date yet on reopening Kate is so kind. She is caring for Deb.
In my last post, Dear Reader, I was on the fairly low end of a depression curve (along with the anxiety), from no income coming in the business. There is something to be said for the magnanimous word “Perseverance”. I guess I have it in spades. I don’t know why, I just do. In previous posts, I shared that I had remodeled my consulting business Nutrition50. My previous revenue stream dried up in failure and I decided that I would learn the cGMP federal regulations regarding Food and Dietary Supplement manufacturing; then go to writing articles on Linked In targeting manufacturers of Hemp oil extracts. It is a young category and smaller entities have a need for my service as I am lean and hungry. I also am learning the processes literally “as I go. I am a chemist and I understand the processes of extraction and distillation. I now have 3 clients in this sector. This type of scrambling reminds me of a quote from Albert Einstein…”I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.“
At the same time, I am dedicated to Senior Health & Fitness, so I earned certifications from NASM in CPT, CE (Corrective Exercise), and Senior Fitness. Solid to the Core. Again, perseverance. It took me over a year and a half to gain these certifications. This is a true passion. Senior full-time caregivers take a physical and emotional beating….almost every day. I know. It is my world.
So Dear Reader, I am going to end this post here. There is so much more inside my head right now that is very intimate, authentic, and vulnerable to share. I will post again this week. Deb has been in Miami with Kate for a month now. I have been mostly alone in my head. This has helped me get back above water in my business as I am working about 10 hours a day. Most of it is technical writing and critical thinking to create the cGMP documentations. The mantra in this field is, ” If it is not written with precision and specificity, it does not really exist.”
Dear Reader, thank you for visiting and spending time with me. Please come back.
