How it all started…
On January 20, 2023 I was called into my directors office to hear the unfortunate news that they no longer needed me at the company. I began profusely sweating. They said I had done nothing wrong, they just no longer needed what I was doing for them anymore. Heartbroken over the loss of friends and obviously income I silently drove the 45 minute commute home for the last time.
Max and I packed our bags, got on a plane that night to Phoenix and shared the news with my parents. We all talked it over and although it made me so sad we discussed the exciting parts of all this change. Ever since our abrupt move to Texas change has been more appealing.
Knowing that I have wanted to be content creating for at least a decade it seemed like no better time than the present. I applied to some jobs on the way to the airport but I knew deep down what I really wanted to do. With my husband’s blessing we decided we decided I would jump both feet into my new job.
We got back home Sunday night and Monday morning I decided to share about the news with our social media channels. Not sure of how to communicate it, I looked over and saw a giant bag of lemons on the kitchen counter and thought, “Let’s make some lemonade.”
Since then we have been making lemonade (or baking a lemon recipe) once a week sharing stories of how lemon has turned into lemonade. Bad news happens every day, why not share about stories that have turned into something good.
