New in OR

Hi all! My name is Sarah. For the last 5 years I've worked from home for a printing company. They have changed policies and are now requiring everyone to work in the office. It's too far of a commute and frankly I can't stand the thought of putting my 16 month old son in day care. So it's time for a career change!!! I'm about to sign up here in the next week. I'm very excited and look forward to getting to know you all and learn lots from you veterans!

Hi Sarah! Welcome soon. I live Oregon (McMinnville). Where do you live? One of my consultants did the same. She had been working from home for the company, when they changed and said she had to drive to the office, more than an hour away. With childcare and gas, it was cheaper to stay at home and make PC a business.

Thank you for the kind welcome! I live in Molalla...about half way between Salem & Portland.

We're going close to there for Halloween. My Brother in Law just moved to Mulino. His house warming party is a Halloween party. We'll be spending the night. Will your live close by for you to attend cluster meetings? For new consultants, and myself after 5 years, it helps to meet with your peers, get recognition and training. It has been the most valuable thing for me.
