Part 2 of the continuing saga:

 

I started up practicing law again in Denver – or tried to.  However, I knew not one single solitary person in Denver when I moved here. 

 

As you might guess, I struggled with getting clients.

 

Eventually, I achieved a growing list of clients only to find that I didn’t really like practicing law anymore for a wide variety of reasons including the fact that lawyering is nightmarishly, stomach-churningly stressful. 

 

I had forgotten the stress level.

 

I retired from law a second time.

 

The big question then became: What shall I do for a living?  The practice of law had been good to me but in my mid-50’s I just couldn’t imagine doing nothing for the next 40 years. 

 

 I began to apply for jobs in the non-profit area, believing that my successful development director experience would be sufficient to land a job.

 

Not so. 

 

No one would even interview me, not even for part-time jobs.

 

I think no one believed that an attorney wanted to work part-time for far less money than a lawyer could make. 

 

I was out of luck.

 

I needed a new plan.
