I kid you not but the week I launched Parenthood Activate! I found myself out of work. Long story short, you’re only as valuable as your most recent contribution. Or at least that was kind of my takeaway. Jaded, sure, but it’s how I felt and still kind of feel. I’m just at a point where I’m sick and tired of giving my all only to be held to an impossible standard. I took the loss of this job to heart because I gave my all and it wasn’t enough.
I share this because it felt like I was having the best/worst week of 2019 at the same time. I’d finally stepped out on faith and launch something I’d wanted to for years but in that same moment my “steady” constant was no more. The timing couldn’t be worse or better. Worse because well duh monetary reasons but better because it meant I could hit reset on myself. It just so happen that my reset was in the form of this webcomic and it happened simultaneously as the job loss.
I have no idea what the next hour, day, weeks, or months will hold but here is to hoping that the week I launched this webcomic and found myself “jobless” is a week I can write about later as that MOMENT my life changed for the better.
I thank you all so much for the love and support. I hope you stick around to see what happens with Parenthood Activate!. I have even more time to spend with my hilarious child and that means more inspiration.
Best,
The Mom
