Are you feeling like it’s ground hog day since my post this morning was almost identical in title? I would like to say that I’ve been busy marketing myself and applying for work, but really the opposite is true. I’ve been really busy working hard for my existing customer and bolstering those relationships. And as a result…I got another local referral for a small business website.
I met with them last week, submitted my quote today for a larger website project and with the possibility of an ongoing maintenance relationship. I have a good feeling about it.
So keep your fingers crossed for me!
Update: In between writing this post and it posting…I got the job. Picked up the deposit check yesterday and started on the work today. Love, love!
Hope is a resourceful, solutions-driven online business manager with over two decades of experience helping clients streamline operations, manage projects, and grow their businesses through digital marketing and technology.
But life has a way of rewriting your plans.
A year ago, Hope made the decision to move in with her aging parents full time – a season she wouldn’t trade, even as it came with its own financial and emotional weight. Earlier this year, she lost her mother, and is now walking the tender, disorienting path of grief while learning what “forward” looks like from here.
Hope came to the Blogging Away Debt community in 2015 as a single mom raising five foster and adoptive children. She’s written through job changes, financial setbacks, and the bittersweet transition to an empty nest. Her kids are finding their footing in the world now – and so is she.
Rooted in faith and fueled by the same perseverance she’s brought to every hard season, Hope is ready to face her finances with fresh eyes and an honest pen. She believes that clarity, courage, and community can change the trajectory of anyone’s story including her own.
She lives in Austin, TX with her dad, loves adventures with her dog Addie, and is figuring out, one step at a time, what this next chapter is meant to be.
Holy smokes, Hope! I can’t wait to see your debt updates over the next couple of months. The end of your consumer debt is definitely in sight! In fact, might the mini-vacation to the Great Wolf Lodge partially be a celebration trip for your payoffs? I can’t remember the timing, but I think it would be a great thing to aim for.
Great news!
Congrats!
Great!
