While I appreciate the sentiment and can relate to being a highly-skilled professional who doesn’t currently have the income to match what previous accomplishments would have predicted, I have to object to essentially ignoring milestones, especially ones that recognize your skills, make you more valuable to potential clients, and are big paychecks themselves.

I’m going to take the time to celebrate and enjoy my blessings. I’m not dwelling on any of the awards from the past year, but I hope to build upon the recognition, however temporary.

When I was going through grad school, I received a Creative Performing Arts scholorship for my architectural design prowess. I was nominated for this award by several of my professors. And the award even came with a cash stipend that helped me pay for my last year in grad school. But what has that award given me now? I'm living Life Laid Off as a professionally licensed architect who is doing a lot of pro-bono work and is spending the fair amount of his spare time between finding meaningful employment with volunteering work. Oh, sure, I am meeting a lot of great people - you included - but a guy needs to feed his family with something and I don't think the paper in which the award was printed on would get much on E-Bay right now. You should be concentrating on finding your next big paycheck...that is what I am doing! Peace, Mark Mariam,

You know, I was trying out an automated DM tool and I was wondering if/how it worked. :) I'm now following you on Twitter, and I'm glad to meet another writer and educator. I look forward to learning more tools and tactics from you and sharing more of my stories with you. Mariam Thanks, Lynette!

I couldn't be more impressed. I wish you'd follow me on Twitter so I could send you a direct message . . . In any case, I'll keep my eye on your writing—and on your research company, since I write creative nonfiction, too. Thanks for sending me info about your websites through a Twitter direct message.
