You have such an outgoing personality that you'd be great at freelancing or starting your own business. I know that's easy - I've done that before and not having a stable income is so challenging - but maybe you can do some on the side to get it going.

Those are some awesome spaces, you should be very proud of them. That takes a lot of talent & the schooling that goes with it. Really, you need to be designing, so I hope that you will be back at it again one day.
