It’s a new beginning for Milford’s Pam Landry. The reinvention of a woman who had spent the better part of her life in Connecticut radio. One day last year (2009) she was told it was over. No fault of her own..times changed, business models got devoured in a crashing economy…boom! Gone.
Stunned, she had to begin anew. Money runs out, so do benefits. Pam had a camera and she liked taking pictures and had an inkling that just maybe it might be a way for her to once again prosper.
It turns out Landry has a special eye for sunrises and sunsets and nature. By chance this began to be realized on Facebook (social media success story).
Pam started to load her pictures onto her FB wall and people started to take notice. Her friends told their friends who then told their friends and connections started and people wanted to help. Funny how these things happen.
Next thing you know a friend of a friend has a relative who owns this really cool bar/restaurant in New Haven, Connecticut and she is contacted by the owner and the pictures got framed and hung and all those who love Pam showed up in support.
This great place who has hung Pam’s pictures is 116 Crown Street. Incidentally, help this place out…go in for a drink and enjoy its great atmosphere and look at Pam’s creations. If you like one they’re $25.00 and you will be buying the beginning of a new life. I think that’s pretty darn inspiring and so are the photos.
This is a story of how one starts to rebuild a life. This is my passion to record what’s going out there in Connecticut, and help get the word out about all of these wonderous things going on driven by sheer determination to just figure it out and go on, and that in a nutshell is Annie Mame. I too am armed with my little camera to record all of this.
This is turning out to be the Great Era of Entrepreneurship (for the record this phrase was just coined by my dear friend, Noah Finz and he’s right) Note to Noah (red light flashing here)….get that phrase copyrighted, STAT.
All of us as individuals have to work really hard on our own to obtain goals…it’s not going to come knocking. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you did, or how much money you did or didn’t make, if it hasn’t happened yet to you, it will, and you’re going to need a herd of folks to help lead you in the right direction.
Truly who do you know who is not trying to now turn their passion into a job? While everything seems broken…guess what this really now is the land of opportunities. Surround yourselves with people who really do care about you and I’m guessing after some time you too will see a rainbow like the one Pam captured below on her little camera as she was looking for light again.
I wish all of you reading this your own “double” rainbow and a pot of gold at the end. When you find it make sure to use some of your new found treasure to help others along the way.
Oh and by the way, Pam along with her brand new life has a brand new web site that I think is just fabulous. Here is is PamLandry.com On this site you will find out all about this strong talented woman and you will also hear her voice.
It was designed by Gary Choronzy of Connecticut Websites, by a guy who is in a group of special people who eventually will be coming out into the world to help a whole lot of folks. I have this on very good authority.
