Here I am again, in a period of change in my life that allows me to grow if I choose to.

Back in June I was laid off from my corporate job as a Program Administrator, and my life turned upside down overnight. I feverishly applied to related program management roles for a month before I had to settle for a job at a coffee shop to pay my bills.

And so I am at an impasse of sorts. Do I continue applying to positions that will most likely end up ghosting me? For a job that I'm not sure I even really like. Or do I take this time, to get back on my coding journey to make a career change?

As the days go on I am now at month 3 of working coffee and I have found some financial stability while working an average of 30 hours a week. That leaves me with a block of time I didn't have before working a 9 to 5. I have found myself with the perfect opportunity to get back into the flow of learning web development.

I am going back to the basics on freeCodeCamp to start the habit of learning and polish my foundation before advancing to more complex skills. Right now, I'm looking at the web development course from Colt Steele on Udemy as a starting point to hone down the basics. I'm thinking I'll focus on building projects for a portfolio after and making my own website.

This is my rough draft of a plan for now. I thought I'd go back to documenting my journey through posts and see what happens!
