At the real estate office which I ran single handedly ran things. It was a lot of responsibilities but I enjoyed my life in that world. This was taken around the time I met my forth husband from Maui, Hawaii. When I left Oregon for Maui I was done with real estate. I wanted to do something new, but to my surprise when I responded to a help wanted ad that I didn’t know was a real estate position. It simply said an office manger assistant. When the owner called in response to my resume, it became clear then. I did debate whether to take it or not. I decided to go for it, thinking real estate must my life work. It turned out to be the best job I ever had that lasted twelve years ... though I moved to Arkansas a year later. But I took my job with me. Even when I moved back to Oregon!! I pioneered “Working from home,” convicing the owner I could do this from anywhere in the world. She had never heard of such a thing but willing to give it a chance. She took a chance on me and it paid off for both of us. Now, it’s very common.
