Lay offs and downsizing has been a topic the United States working class would wish to be a thing of the past. However, only the presence of a wish seems to be lingering in the air. Beneath the dooming news being heard there is a woman who wants to share her tips on surviving this ailing economy.

Single-handedly, this once 25 year + corporate executive and unmarried mother of 3 is miraculously being financially sustained in a deteriorating employment market.

Coupled with raising 3 teen/adult aged children with 2 currently attending high school. Dale is an entrepreneur, poet, comedienne, play writer and author.

Dale is the voice of encouragement for those experiencing stress from the looming downturn of the economy, which are leaving so many in awe wondering how they are going to survive.
