A Helpful Guide to Anyone

After a 2002 downsizing from the original long distance phone company, I still do not have permanent employment or benefits.I recently picked up Kathy's book again after 2 years. It is just as helpful to me today as it was then. She has comforted me as though I met with her in person. She identifies with my feelings and circumstance - there is no "put on".Kathy's ability to write from her heart and experiences are useful in my journey for "life work".Enjoy it, I do. I can read it again and again now, remembering that someone knows exactly what it's like to be unemployed and over the age limit.(smile)
