It's been a while since my last blog post, but not as long as you might think.
I've been very busy and have even started another blog site.

You see, September marked the first ever gathering of the Ottawa Career Reboot Group. It's a bi-weekly group that meets at the library on Monday evenings, to share and compare notes on bettering career fulfillment and opportunities. I'll admit that it was my brain child, and that I volunteered to facilitate the group. I realized that this type of service/event/resource was typically only accessible during regular business hours, making it difficult for folks not available during the day to access.
The first meeting, Sept 14th, was fantastic and we has 3 participants. The topic for the first meeting was appropriately "where to start" and delved into setting goals and limits.
Two weeks later at the next meeting, we had 4 people! The topic was all about resources, specifically what what the library had to offer - all free of charge, of course.
This week's meeting, Oct 26th, our third, we had an astounding 15 people join us. The talk was Taking the Fear out of Networking and it was a hit!
I was amazed to see so many new faces and I honestly hope the word gets out to those who might find the group useful.
I've been busy getting organized and crating the website (also a twitter account - twitter.com/OttawaReboot). I've made some great connections already and I hope the community grows.
Aside from the Reboot Group, I attended a networking event a few weeks ago, with great success and will be entering the NYCMidnight Short Screenplay Challenge this weekend.
I'll get my thinking cap on and eat my Alpha-Bits to help me avoid writer's block.
Until Next Time, stay safe and keep smiling!
