The uncertainty about “what’s next” is greater now than at any point in my life — more so than building a career or raising a family. In most every situation, there was loads of sources to help guide me. An almost limitless supply of books, “how to guides”, and advice.

Now it’s just God, me, Monica and the girls. Few have walked the path of losing a child. Even fewer have had the luxury to walk away from a stable income at the same time.

One of my “superpowers” is problem solving. This is a big part of why I excelled in the business. I was given an assignment, or a problem presented itself, and was able to solve it, thinking inside or outside of the box. My challenge is that now there’s no person giving me an assignment. There’s no direct order or a clear problem.
