The big news today is that I am changing jobs again.
My job at the firm just wasn't the right fit, so I started looking for something different. I would like to tell you I found my dream job, but I didn't. I don't even know what that dream job is at this point. While I keep moving forward and growing, I did find my dream company. I have accepted a job at a non-profit organization as a customer service representative. It is close to home and part-time, so I will be spending the rest of my free time between three other endeavors:
-Writing a children's book;
-Doing social media marketing for the florist; and
-Starting a social media marketing company with my sister.
Spencer and I realized that life is too short to spend in a job you hate. You have to find your own bliss and your own path, even if that means you aren't making as much money as you could otherwise. I spent four years and countless hours working on an education to be a paralegal. One might think I am "throwing it all away", and perhaps I am, but not for nothing. I am seeking happiness and a different life than I initially envisioned. Is it scary? Yes, but I believe fear is one of the greatest motivators we have, only second to love. I am so fortunate to have Spencer's love and support in allowing me to look for my passion and my calling by taking this leap and starting a non-conventional search for myself.
So how about you? Are you really happy with what you do when you wake up every day?

life forever.” - Keri Russell
“Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from
the known to the unknown.” - Unknown
“All changes, even the most longed for, have their
melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to
one life before we can enter another.” - Anatole France
