Checking in...

Times are tough in this country. I see some businesses thriving and some offering the deals of the century. I am grateful to have a job now. I have been in the unemployment line a few times over the years. There are many people losing jobs who have been with their company or organization for many years.

There are bright spots, too. Some of the innovations that make people rich, pop up in this type of economy. Look for the things that are lacking or could be useful now, and possibly find your niche! There is always room for new inventions and ideas to improve how things are done. My local paper was mentioning new start up companies that were doing great. People who were let go, started up a company. Possibly a dream they had had in the past, but never had the time to pursue.

I do hope all turns around soon, and we can get this country back to its' prosperous self again. It is a difficult time for many.

Take care all... Sandy

Ranking 5th in home foreclosures

Hopefully this economy will find the bottom soon and start making the climb up. Having heard we still have some months if not a few years to go, are not comforting words for many. The state I live in, Oregon, has the 5th highest rate of home foreclosures. A company in California, named RealtyTrac, Inc. lists foreclosed homes. I am not sure where the statistics came from. My local paper had an article recently. If you are one who is close or going through foreclosure, there are steps to take. A government website can be of help: http://www.hud.gov/foreclosure/index.cfm

Lets all hang in there and keep positive thoughts going. What we put out will come back to us multiplied, so positive is good even in tough times.

Babyboomers Job Search

Good day!

I see I have not been on my blog for quite awhile. I went back to work full time in the end of October and have been very busy. I am not complaining, in this economy I am grateful for a job. On my website there is a page with job help for Baby Boomers and beyond:

http://www.sheboomers.com/careers.html

I have been watching the news and local paper for any sites I could find. I hope if you are looking for a job, you will find one or more of those sites useful.

Good luck to all through this tough economic time in our country. I am keeping positive, as it is contagious and it is a good thing to spread around.
