It's about starting over and getting inspired.
In light of the economic ups and downs of this year, it's safe to say that all of us know at least one person (and quite possibly more than just one) who have been laid off from their jobs. During our previous discussion on related topics ranging from small investments with big returns and saving a few bucks at home to Survivor Week, we've noticed that quite a few of you have acknowledged that there's a...
...silver lining to this recession, even if it's as simple as re-educating ourselves on how to manage our money. But if you're looking for an even bigger source of inspiration during these difficult times, take a look at this trailer for a new documentary called Lemonade. The tag line sums it up beautifully: "Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising and are forced to be creative with their own lives."
If you've been laid off (or know someone else who has) and are venturing out in unchartered territory, share it with us! Your story could be an inspiration to all of us.

Aww, this movie sounds great. I was laid off in February, and while not having an income wasn't something I was prepared for, I was so thrilled. I say I am funemployed now. Since then my apt is cuter, I'm alot healthier (and 20 pounds lighter) and since I don't have a job I dread anymore I have become a morning person. I feel like it was just the kick in the pants I needed to pursue something that I actually love, and realized that life is too important to spend settling for something less than what I'm meant to be doing.
It is sweet lemonade indeed!

I'm a recent partaker of this initially frightening, but sweet nectar---having received the gift of time to paint again and to learn new painting techniques, to research woodworking techniques and tools, to search out vintage and funkilicious furniture pieces to recondition, restore, enliven and re-sell, to babysit greyhounds for their adoring parents, to plant and nurture a vegetable garden and research all the ways one can cook beets, artichokes and more, to pick fruit from my pear and apple trees for the first time in the three years since moving into this house and to bake and eat delicious pies from them, to mow my own lawn and care for my flowers, to bake a loaf of healthy bread weekly, to spend quality time with family and friends, to read the books I want to read, to enjoy my morning coffee while sitting on the front porch . . .http://sparky-youngbloodstudios.blogspot.com/
