Life's Twists and Turns

I've been through a lot in the past year or so. I lost a beloved younger brother to melanoma in March 2010 and my favorite feline this past May (2011). I've been threatened with my job and laid off much earlier than expected, both this year.
Now I'm exploring my options online in the hopes of garnering support for my pre-existing stores. I share Sunshine's ambition of being totally self-supporting by the end of the year, as most jobs in my area aren't what I need to earn a living that sustains my body while it nourishes my mind. Some would say I'm too fussy but I recently passed the half century mark, so I feel I'm entitled to pick the right job and go for that over settling for what's out there.
I've settled for what I could get for most of my life, therefore I won't any longer. If that makes me crazy, so be it.
If I didn't have my friend Sunny I'd be a very lost individual, as she's encouraged me to branch into landscape photography and using what I've done thus far to create stunning greeting cards at Greeting Card Universe (GCU). My link is http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/katiesclevercardstore; hers is http://www.greetingcardunivers.com/sunshinescreativeendeavors.
We collaborate on many of the cards using her images and my verse or her version of my image with my verse. If you have anything in mind that you'd like to see and don't, contact me at PKTaylor365@gmail.com and specify what you want and with your contact information and a rough deadline for the project.
We also have stores at Red Bubble, deviant Art, and Web Shots, so pop in there if you haven't found what you want at GCU.
