Gremlins... I have made all of $2 off my donate button and am considering some different ads myself. Your jewelry is beautiful. Wish I had some $$ to spend on some bling. Best of luck to you, my friend. We'll all make it through this time somehow. Hugs...

I've been tossing around the tip jar idea for awhile - thank you for going first, you brave woman. I'll be checking in for new ideas! I sure wish I could make jewelry like you do - it's gorgeous! Good luck with all of this and I'm glad we'll be seeing more of you here! I’m late getting here because I’ve been busy trying to figure out how to make some money with my blog myself!

It means a lot to hear that MidLifeBloggers serves a function. We're different from many of the other midlife/boomer sites, and that's intentional. My goal has always been to create a conversation, rather than a lecture. Our tagline, after all, is "making the most of midlife together." Are you in the same situation I am: wanting a paycheck rather than the rewards of entrepreneurial effort? Basically, I want the Social Security deduction. All those years I was a freelancer, I prided myself of reducing my SS payments. Ha! Guess who never thought she'd get to the place where she'd want SS?! @Cheri,

Keep up the great work informing and inspiring us. I can totally relate to what you're saying. After being in business for over 30 years, I'm actively putting my hat in the ring to find a job. I thought I had a pretty impressive work history, owning an advertising agency, starting a national direct sales jewelry company and most recently, designing a new line of eco-friendly products. Unfortunately, the economy is moving slower than I had hoped and I just don't sell enough to make a living, support kids in college and pay for my own health insurance. I have applied for over 40 jobs that I could probably do in my sleep with not one interview. I think between my age and the fact I've only worked for myself for the past 30 years has been a big hinderance. Oh well. . .we do what we have to do. Don't worry about the ads, your loyal supporters will understand. Thanks for being there for all of us mid-lifers! First of all, I love your blog! Keep up the great work informing and inspiring us.
