Ha! Thanks! I work half the year for the San Diego Opera now and the other half I'm self employed. Every job is a challenge sometimes, but I like it.

This thread is so inspiring
Lovely Leah said:Aurora,
I took your advice and discussed the possibility of a "trial period" with the director, she was fine with it and said that I was the best judge of what I can do. I started today and used my wheelchair for most of my four hour shift. I hope it works out!!!
Rosie said:I'm a graphic designer by training, artsy by nature. I ran my own business for a bit, a companion animal company. I sold coats, sweaters, beds, jewelry, etc. for companion animals. I also did some party planning, birthday parties, weddings and even a bar mitzvah all for dogs. I was pretty successful for a while, some of my products were on Sex and the City and Curb Your Enthusiasm but after a while, things got REALLLLLLY slow and I had to go back to teaching. I am SERIOUSLY thinking of starting a bakery or small catering company which is sort of creative. I'm trying to "perfect" some of my recipes to take around to restaurants and hopefully that will be the start of soemthing bigger.
