Big Changes

In Mel's post on Monday, she mentioned that she's considering taking an alternative career path and becoming a teacher. Good on ya, Mel! That's awesome!

I, too, am seriously contemplating a major career move. I'm not quite ready to speak the words aloud, because I don't want to jinx it, and also because I'm not quite sure exactly how it's going to work, or if it will, but I'm taking a huge leap of faith today in working towards it, so please wish me luck.

Anyway, have you ever taken a leap of faith and totally changed directions in your life? If so, did it work out the way you'd hoped?

Discuss!

    Good luck, Amanda! Cannot wait to hear about it! Though often scary, sometimes making a major life change can be the best decision you make.

  2. I quit working for my dad's company. At the time, it was a really hard thing to do and I felt some guilt about it, but it allowed me to write full time, so now I know it was the right move.

  4. I had to leave a toxic work environment once before. I should have done it two years sooner than I did, but it was the most satisfying door close ever.
