Back at it...but what exatly is it.

So, I am feeling better after the many months since I began this blog...well, at least I am telling myself that. You know, the way your friends and family try to offer support, to let you know they "understand what you are going through" and junk. That is what I am telling myself today.

"Get out there and do something," I say to myself, daily

I started the blog and just gave up out of sheer depression.

I am feeling better.

OK - to recap, I was going to write about this amazing journey of dealing with unemployment; about keeping my head up and taking the bull by the horns and making the best of the situation. I wanted to share what I found out on this journey with others. To make it as simple as possible, the journey sucked. It still sucks and I don't see much of and end in sight, even though I am taking steps to change my "near" future.

I started my website; or should I say I am "tinkering" with a website as a precursor to the "real" website I want to start. Just getting my feet wet, A. The website is pitching a freelance consultancy I am hoping to start. Oh, just baby-steps at this point. The website is really there to make me feel better. If I get any traction from it, that will just be gravy. Check out the site and give me some feedback, be please be kind - I am still in a very delicate state: http://millissatessier.yolasite.com/.

I plan to spend my days learning more about the social media I love so much. I was lucky enough to have spent a few years learning all about digital media, new media and the new PR platform that social media and blogging has offered to the world. I love the relaxed nature of this type of approach. The only scary bit is that it changes so quickly, as soon as you have wrapped your arms around a technique or a style, it changes. Exciting, but scary, too.

I hope to try and carve out a new niche for myself, making me more valuable instead of less valuable and attractive to clients and companies. I know that is a loaded statement; but when you have been unemployed for over eight months and your are the type of person that almost wholly attaches her self-worth to the work she does, that speaks volumes.

Well, there you go for a start...or re-launch...."I got out there and did something."
