It's a beautiful mess of financial instability and falling into reverie at inopportune times, but I will try to keep it up for as long as I can because that's the only way I will have time for *me*.<br /><br />I congratulate and admire you for your decision, and look forward to reading about where your path is taking you. It's bound to be inspiring :) Remember, "always be gutsy"!Ms. Faustushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191744120373670081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-18685593430707724022011-09-17T18:41:37.398-07:002011-09-17T18:41:37.398-07:00Thank you Debbie!

Then one day I decided to change and put in my two weeks notice. <br />Funny thing is that I got a call from my boss yesterday telling me that she was closing office at the end of October, so I would have been out of a job anyway! See...I got to make the choice for myself instead of getting pushed out. Life is amazing. <br />Best of luck with your transition, I know great things are waiting for you Cheryl;)Leah Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424758000036417506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-72819608044669274772011-09-17T16:24:32.780-07:002011-09-17T16:24:32.780-07:00I applaud your bravery, and look forward to watchi...I applaud your bravery, and look forward to watching you make your goals and dreams come true!<br /><br />~DebbieDebbie Maxwell Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533418585502995994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-41491367869604337432011-09-17T11:33:28.183-07:002011-09-17T11:33:28.183-07:00Good for you, Leah.

I'm excited for you... it's scary stepping out on your own, but it's a wonderful thing for the family and the pursuit of your dreams.<br /><br />I remember when I left the office job--almost 5 years ago now--how freeing that was. Can't say I've been as productive as I'd hoped, but I've spent a heck of a lot more times with my kids than I would have had I stayed in that unhappy environment. <br /><br />Your mind and spirit will be singing their praise for your bold steps. Worth every risk. ;)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2626984735812620442.post-89265511508730081702011-09-16T07:39:36.883-07:002011-09-16T07:39:36.883-07:00Karen, I am so ready for a new chapter.
