Yasmin, congratulations on writing such a courageous article that reflects the deep struggles of many in this uncertain time. It reminds me of what Oprah once said, "There is no such thing as failure. Failure is just life trying to move us in another direction." Rather than a Year of Unemployment, it's a precious year of sour searching and transformation. No wonder I saw a new glow of confidence in you. Keep on fighting. To be the highest, most truthful expression of yourself as a human being.
