My goals ....

I have actually spent a lot of time thinking and contemplating what I'd like to do if I ever gave up my job and started life as a self-employed entreprenuer.  The truth is I love fashion, and shopping .... putting stylish outfits together that make the most of my figure and I also have an eye for what looks good on others.  So one of my goals is to put together my own business as a personal shopper/stylist.  I know in this economy the timing may not seem ideal, but I think just the opposite may be true.  And one thing is for sure ,,, I will know nothing if I don't try.

So begins my journey ...

My last day at "the office" (I worked from home) was last Wednesday 12/22, and while I'm officially still employed until 12/31 I am on paid vacation until then.  That last day was more emotional than I anticipated, but in a good way.  It is a real gift to walk away from something when it is of your own choosing, and everything is positive ,,, not leaving anything undone, unsaid, unstable or unhappy.  I had been tempted to leave a few times before, but for totally different reasons ,,, more because I was fed up, frustrated, stressed or angry.  But leaving under those conditions would have felt like giving up, and I'm not a quitter.  This felt right, and further supported my decision to start pursuing my dreams.
