You received a pink slip today. After your recover from shock you feel shame and embarrassment. You are in denial and disbelief. You feel abandoned and overwhelmed and do not want to share this vital information with love ones.
You rush to the safety of home and have more shameful feelings. You want to crawl in a hole and cover yourself. You finally share the news with your family and they are surprised and disappointed as well.
You and your family have decisions to make as fast as possible.
Some tips:
1. Overhaul your expenses. Cut back on everything with a hatchet.
2. Conserve your cash.
3. If you or a family member have a pre-existing medical condition do everything possible to keep cobra, your health insurance.
4. Apply for unemployment.
5. Exercise, this is a great stress buster
6. Take time to grieve your loss, it is real.
7. Work on your attitude.
If you have been in a major depression, snap out of it. It is time for a overhaul in your thinking. The shock and despair has worn off and you have come to terms with what has happened to you. Now is the time to have a serious talk with yourself first then your family.
Some of the questions you want to consider are:
1. How do I really feel about that job/career?
2. Is this a good time for me to rethink my options?
3. Is this a path I want to take for the duration of my working life?
4. Finally, what lessons are in this for me?
Entrepreneurs do not get laid off. They do not fire themselves. It could be time to consider being your boss and having a business of your own. You can make as much money as you choose. This is an abundant world and you can have your share. It is a decision away. Is it time for a career change?
Is it time to begin that search for a business that you can build into your empire? When you put together your game plan consider a business as part of your future.
Life can take unexpected turns. You could be distraught because of this experience. One day you could thank your former employer for letting you go. Like so many difficult experiences in life once you walk through them you realize that they were opportunities to move you along a different path.
It is all about your attitude and what you make out of this experience. This too shall pass.
Honor yourself.

Storms of Life
I spent many years living in Florida and the weather there taught me great lessons about life.
I especially remember an early morning before dawn. I was awaken by thunder that rumbled and made my house shutter. The lightening was so sharp that it lit my bedroom like daylight.
Our dog Ralphy was scared of bad weather, he jumped in the bed with my husband and I. Now I am one of these people who sleep like a log with the rain and inclement weather. So why was I not in a dreamy restful sleep?
I realized that I had gone to bed worried and depressed. I woke up with that same sick feeling. My business that I was growing was not going well. The more I pondered and worried about my situation the louder the thunder and the sharper the lightening. The rain was so loud against the windows it sounded like hail. Maybe it was.
As time passed dawn came with a thick black cloud cover. Gradually…the thunder and lightening lessoned and the rain subsided. The cloud cover gradually throughout the day rolled over and the sun shone through.
As the morning progressed I thought about how frightening the storm was and how beautiful the day turned out. The air was clean, fresh and the grass and trees looked greener. The sky was that brilliant blue we all love and recognize. The storm gave us much needed water to drink. Then I remembered the ole saying…no water…no food. Though scary as the storm was much good came from it.
Suddenly, I felt so much better. I realized that in my life I go through bad and trying times that are dark and scary like that storm. When I go through those times I now ask myself what lessons can I learn from what I am now experiencing and what good can come of it.
I know without a doubt that If I remain focused on where I want to go and not concentrate on where I am any storm I am living through will also pass like the storms of nature. It is all the same thing? So, hold on.
