Hey there Phoenix,

Thanks for the update.  Been reading your posts and wanting to know how it was getting on with you...In reading your new post, the following thoughts popped into my head:

What would Phoenix be doing if she didn't need the money?  In other words, what is your passion?  Is it food--catering?  Is it decorating?  
It sounds like the waitressing was okay for a certain amount of steady income, but not much even with tips (am I right?).  Do you have other interests that might land you an inspiring even if low-level job that might lead to other opportunities?  I'm thinking about a scenario like say you are interested in art, you can work at an art store, an art studio, or art school, while you supplement your income by making your own creations.  Or you rep for another artist.  etc.  If you are a "foodie" you can work at a high end grocery store or wine store or ???...while running your own catering biz, baking biz, etc.  So perhaps you can find some tangential position while you shore up your own dreams.  

I have this gut feeling that changing locations isn't the answer to addressing your challenges (although the promise--illusion?--of reduced expenses is always a motivator.) I also sense that what you need is an ever replenishing source of income (the career, the dream) for real freedom vs. a one-shot rescue (the inheritance, the lottery, a loan).  I think you mentioned this earlier in one of your posts. Think of it as living near a river vs. using a water tank.  Also, changing locations to move closer to your DAD is antithetical to your life story and desires.  Do you need to move away from your mother?  She sounds supportive...

These are just shotgun observations from afar.  Consider that you might not have to chase the rainbow but the sun is hitting it from an angle you can see from right where you are! :)   Hope this helps. Good luck Phoenix, we are cheering for you!  Seeker
