Like most people, 2020 change people’s lives.  I had significant plans for 2020 with possibilities and conference on Autism, benefit for Autism and even possibly a shot on tv show related to Autism.  But instead, in March 2020, I lost my job after 10 years of successful working because the company decided to switch products.  This was blow to me and I only looked for jobs 2 or 3 times before that.  Every one of my jobs was connected but I felt that it that I was too old for the jobs anymore.

I tried my best to get a new job, even though I was fully capable of new technology.  They wanted experience in technology. But I found losing my job gave me chance to do something that I struggled with all my life and that is to relax.

In 2021, I decided to sell my house and move to my lake house in Georgia.  At first, I stayed indoors but eventually started exploring the world that I now live in.  At first it was fishing, but later I purchased a Jacuzzi, then with help of my neighbor I got into biking and just recently got a new and beautiful puppy.

My puppy is name Brandy, and she is Australian Labradoodle.  These types of dogs are very good being services dogs and I got the idea that she can help with Autism.  I am not going into details, but there is an opportunity for my school idea.

I included an image of Brandy at Pelican Pete’s at 12 weeks old and she was very calm and social with others. One thing about Brandy, I believe that she would be an image of hope and love and she has already surpassed this not just for myself but others. Time will tell what the future holds but in love and the school idea, but it looks promising.
