After 14 years of dedication and loyalty, I was fired during a global pandemic. WTF!?!? So I’m a 50 years old woman collecting unemployment for the first time in my life. Savings was used on kids college. Rent in Denver is sky high especially when you don’t have a job. BUT, for as bad as it sounds, I would never want to go back. Follow the journey of this middle aged gal who played by the rules the first time. Now, I’m doing things on my terms. No expectations and no apologies. But most of all no anxiety or negativity. I have no idea what the next day will bring but I think I can handle it.
