Hello World! Welcome to My Professional Portfolio
Welcome to my professional author and artist portfolio website!
In honor of my new job as a full-time freelancer, I bought my URL. I created a professional business website and Voila!
I quit the cubicle a week ago today (June 2, 2010. I’m busy making the transition from working-my-butt-off-in-a-stressful-work-environment-mode to working-my-butt-off-in-the-privacy-of-my-own-home-mode. I’ve spent the past week finishing off everything on the back burner.
The decision to go from full-time employee to self-employed was an easy one to make. Putting everything into motion took longer than I expected. In fact, I’ve been working toward this goal for almost two years.
This past year, I’ve been able to take on a number of new clients. It has been a bit rough working full-time and juggling freelance assignments in my free time. My websites earn good money. I’m feeling confident that I can turn my freelance work into a career – and thus here I am! I’m focusing on being my own boss and enjoying every minute of it. I never want to answer to anyone else ever again!
This summer marks the beginning of a great journey. I’ll be working from various locations as a paid travel writer and health advocate. This is where to come if you want to find out how I’m getting along with everything.
I’m sure you’re all aware I’m super active over at MySeveralWorlds.com. These sites differ as MSW is a health and advocacy platform and a patient centered hub. This site is all about me and my craft.
Thanks for dropping by!

Carrie Kellenberger is a disabled author and artist living in Taiwan. I’ve made a living from writing via MySeveralWorlds.com and associated projects since 2007. I love all forms of art, gardening, flower arranging, reading (an understatement if you've seen my GoodReads profile), and snuggling with my cats. Animal videos make me cry. I hate cooking. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my garden bloom! Learning about new cultures and exploring the world has been my thing since I started traveling at age 19. I've been ill for close to two decades. During that time, I moved from being a full time professional travel and culture writer to a full time sickie who works from home. In the past decade, I've run a flourishing business from home, but that time has passed. It's time to move on and focus on my creative side which has always brought me the most joy in life. When life hands you lemons, write about it and create! My hope is that my writing and art inspires and supports other patients living with chronic illness.
