In my late 20s, my world turned upside down in just 72 hours. My husband Doug worked at local construction company, while I was a quality-control inspector for JanSport, a backpack manufacturer located in Wenatchee, Washington. We were both extremely hard workers, but we could not work our way out of a declining economy. Doug was laid off on Wednesday and, two short days later, I learned that my entire plant had decided to relocate to Mexico to save money.
I didn’t react well to the news. I wanted to find a place to hide, but that wasn’t an option. I was scared when my husband got his lay-off notice on Wednesday. I was still suffering from the uncertainty of how we would make ends meet when I walked into work that fateful Friday and was told our plant was closing. At that point, I was absolutely shocked, angry, scared beyond description, and at a loss as to what we were going to do.
Although money had been tight in our home for some time, our family had made a smart decision a few years earlier that saved us from disaster. It had taken us two years, but we
managed to save an emergency fund. In the end, losing all of our family’s income sources in the space of three days didn’t break us. It made us stronger.
Instead of hiding from my problem, I picked myself up and decided to help improve my family’s circumstances. There was actually a hidden blessing in the whole storm for me. Because my plant had closed down, I was eligible to go to school under Job Training Partnership Act. Was it embarrassing to ask for help from the state to improve myself? Sure. But in studying to be an accountant I was making a better future for my family for years to come. I have also paid that help forward countless times, contributing time and money to the community and sharing my story to help others help themselves.

The year I turned fifty, I resolved to do something new every day. However, balancing 365 new things with work and family, while still managing to do the laundry and get dinner on the table every night, was not always easy. In the early weeks of the project, I found it difficult to find so many new things.
It wasn’t long before my friends learned that I was open to almost anything I could consider a new thing, and the invitations began pouring in not just from friends, but friends of friends. As a result, my life was new. I went dog sledding. I attended a fashion show. I went to numerous lectures on all kinds of topics that I never would have previously considered useful or interesting and found something to appreciate in every single one. I even signed up immediately when learning about a local group trying to get into the Guinness Book of World Records by doing something unusual.
