    At the end of 2000, I first became acquainted with the internet and I had no idea back then that a mother of 5 and grandmother of 1 could have built a successful life that literally saved my own.<\/p>\n

    For the last fifteen years, I\u2019m proud to say that WordPress, and it\u2019s thriving community, has been a large part of my life. I\u2019ve enjoyed making friends, attending WordCamps, and being part of Make WordPress.<\/p>\n

    The Internet has been a place where we share our joy. But what happens when life is interrupted? There are many things that will interrupt your life. Death. Divorce. Illness.<\/p>\n

    I\u2019ve experienced all three. In this talk, I\u2019ll share some of vital the lessons I\u2019ve learned from being a part of such helpful and friendly community. Please join me during this session to not only hear my story, that many of us have experienced, but also for practical advice.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t

    For long I was dreaming of starting my own business and traveling a lot. But I had to pay my monthly mortgage, loved the security of a permanent contract and thought that a comfortable house was essential to live a happy life.
    \nUntil I dared to leave everything behind, start my own business as a Virtual Assistant, work location independent and travel the world.
    \nNow I go where I want to go, make a living of all sorts of online business support, of which building WordPress websites is one of the core activities.
    \nNow I know that all fears that kept me happy with my permanent contract were just imaginary borders.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t
