Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hey everyone, I am sending out a blanket letter to friends and loved ones because I am in need of help. As some of you may remember I set out to fulfill a dream by moving to California back in September of ’05. Well, things haven’t worked out as planned and it’s been a struggle – to put it mildly. I have lived in two of the most beautiful places in the US in the last two and a half years with many wonderful people. But, boy, has it been expensive! Without going into all the drama, I have found myself in a position where I need to move back to a familiar community, to Seattle. Since December, when the company I was working for closed its doors, I have only been able to find a part time job down here (LA area). But it’s been three-and-a-half months and no full time work. I am behind on everything. Lachlan and I (my 13 year old son) need to have the opportunity to get back on our feet. It could take about 6 months, or more. I can easily get a job at a temp agency and wow the company I am placed with. They’ll want to hire me full time, but I can’t live off of the starting pay offered by the temp agencies for 6 months on my own – and I don’t know anyone down here that can help us. Maybe YOU or someone you know has some extra space (perhaps even ‘empty nest syndrome’)? I am looking to move back in the next two weeks as Spring Break starts this Monday. Here is the situation I am looking for: A bedroom (or studio even) for Lachlan and I to share (perhaps furnished). A place where rent is not a big deal, because I might not be able to pay it for the first two months (I might be able to help a little with utilities after the first month). Then minimal rent so that I can get caught up on my car, etc., and be able to save for first/last/deposit on our own place ASAP. Somewhere that is near plenty of professional type jobs (not in the boonies or islands). What I can offer: I can teach you anything and everything you want to know about being healthy! I can show you how to have fun eating more fruits and vegetables, or even being 100% raw (I am a Raw Food Chef !). I can guide you safely through detoxifying cleanses while I am there (I’m a Health Coach). I can help organize almost anything!!!! Additionally, if anyone has an ‘in’ for me to get a respectable position (at least $45k / year to start) - that would be great too! My background is Project Management / Administration / Personal Assistant. But, really, I can do almost anything up through management level. I can send a resume upon request. You may be wondering why I don’t move in with my parents … well, they retired and moved to a very rural area in Montana where there is no work. As much as I'd hate it, there is a possibility that if I can’t find anything for both Lachlan and I, he can finish out the school year with my parents in Montana and I can get him back towards the end of summer when I’m back on my feet. My first choice is have my son with me. Your help and consideration is so very much appreciated. Namaste, Paula Looking for last minute shopping deals?
