I Quit

Natasha here. Just thought you might like to know from whence this dramatic headline came. And, that said, it's really not all that dramatic. However, today was a pivotal day.

Today was the day when, given everything we have planned and what we're up to, I emotionally disconnected from my job. FYI, that's a huge step for me. As a career workaholic, my identity has long been wrapped up in my work. (How messy!)

The details really don't matter. I'm still there physically, and will be there - hopefully - for a few months. But, today I have fresh perspective. This job, you see, is temporary. And, it's not the most important thing I'm up to these days.

I have bigger plans!

Most people would look at me and say I have a great job. They'd wonder what problems I could possibly have with this dreamy job. Well, all I can say is things can look bright and rosy on the outside. Inside, it can be dark and ugly.

Well, I'm done with the dark and ugly. From here on out I'm concentrating on doing the best work I can do from 9-5 every day. Beyond that, folks, I have my eye on the prize.

And, what a wonderful prize it is.

This dream we have is bigger, better, more satisfying and fulfilling than any work I've ever done. (And, I've been up to some big stuff!) This is about exploring, simplifying, stretching, changing. It's all good.

So, it's official. Effective today, that's my focus.
