It would change my life forever and I would finally have the career of my dreams. In a few years, something huge would happen. Having no idea what to do with my life, I went to a psychic. My boss called me into his office and said the two words dreaded by corporate drones everywhere: “You’re downsized.” My next pursuit – advertising for American Express – lasted fifteen years. I took this experience as a sign that I should find a different path. I’m only telling you this because the statute of limitations for malpractice has run. The room was hot and the discussion soooo boring. But I represented him anyway, falling asleep during the proceedings. I didn’t know what a financial futures fund was. My legal career lasted until my firm sent me to the SEC to represent a guy whose financial futures fund was under attack. However, I’d never actually met anyone who made a living doing either job. When I was growing up in Texas and Colorado, I dreamed of becoming an artist or a writer. Grab a cup of hot chocolate and curl up in a comfy chair. Welcome to the tale of how I got to who I am today, from lawyer to corporate drone to small business owner to author of four novels to my first non-fiction, Testing For Kindergarten, self-proclaimed “Testing Mom” and blogger for The Baby Ivy Chronicles.
