Gosh, Karen, I really am sorry about the turn of events for you. I can't help feel that maybe Miss Hoppy had something to do with it.

I hope you will take this enforced vacation seriously - and relax, cook, bake, play with Miss Hoppy, or whatever makes you happy, while you mull over your opportunities and formulate a new plan.

Starting your own business can have its insecure moments - but on the other hand it can be so rewarding. Not sure what you might like to do - but you know that all of us would be behind you 100%.

Is it possible for you to offer your services as a consultant in computer training in specific programs that you have perfected? Or maybe even put on some seminars? Just some random thoughts.

Keep us posted - and I hope you don't spend any time feeling down - been there - done that - and it is a waste of time.
