My husband, Randy, and I must make a difficult choice. Now that we are both retired and living on a fixed income, we have to choose between taking a trip to see my children who are moving to Scottsdale or replacing the flooring in our home. We have the savings to do one or the other, but not both right now.

You all remember my good friend, Jan. Unemployed for a period of time lasting much longer than she ever wanted, she hung in there; got a job, lost a job and finally landed the job she really wanted. I think of Jan’s tenacity often and because we’re friends, I chat with her occasionally about my frustrations with unemployment.

My husband is a stubborn man. I always knew how disciplined he was, but once you are at home with someone every day, you really see a person’s true colors. The reason I am bringing this up is due to a recent home improvement project that has been put off for the last two years. We have needed to

I recently had the pleasure of attending a job search lecture from Dick Bolles, the author of “What Color is Your Parachute – 2011” at a local Northern California Church. Many people that have had to look for a job over the past 30+ years remember “What Color is Your Parachute” as a very significant book that basically taught us all about job searches. What most people don’t know is that Dick updates his book every year to keep it current with the times. And believe me, he keeps up with the times far better than most of us. Dick Bolles’ top three tips for job seekers over 50 are:

Last year I finally became eligible for three weeks of vacation time at my former job. Unfortunately because of my health issues I needed to give up my career a few months later and I never got the chance to enjoy that long awaited perk. Now I am on a permanent “vacation”; it’s called retirement.

It’s 4pm, the tea is brewed, the snack is plated, and I’m ready to watch one of America’s top rated daytime TV talk shows. Today’s topic is: “Actors take on their dream jobs…” Actors? Dream Jobs?
