Starting Over by J.L. Regen

 FEARLESS FRIDAY

Readers, welcome back J.L. Regen to Discover... Starting over can be scary and just might require some fearlessness.

Many years ago, Iaccepted a job that I hoped would be a steppingstone to bigger and greaterthings. 

At the six-monthpoint, I learned that the company was heading toward financial ruin. The dayafter I left, it folded. I’d only been working for a few years after graduatingwith my B. A. in Marketing, and I thought my world was crashing. How could mydream job end so abruptly? 

This is what Margoin Secret Desires goes through when she must find her dream job: She hasto ask herself a million questions that lead to one resounding reality: What doI want to do with my future? 

In my case Iwanted to be in management and make decisions for the financial health of thecompany. 

I knew I’d have toacquire a master’s degree so when I chose my next job, I did so with the handsof a heart surgeon, aware that any move too far to the right or left would cutoff my career longevity. 

I do hope you’lltake a peek at Secret Desires because Margo is a girl when the bookopens and by the time you close the last page, you’ll agree that Margo is arisk taker worth cheering on.
