Finally! We were all settled into our home. It was put back together and perfectly decorated. I even replaced most of the furniture in the rest of the house as well, all while staying on budget. And just as we got comfortable and used to “normalcy” again, we had a major realization – we can […]
Finally. The year that was 2020/2021 has moved on, and we’re already one month into 2022! I hadn’t looked at my website since this summer, so as I just looked back, I am reminded of the excitement and optimism that I had when I started this blog. My intent was to write about my journey […]
I’ve never actually celebrated Lent by giving up something for the 40 days leading up to Easter. I’m well aware that many people do, and most typically they give up something like a guilty pleasure (which doesn’t sound very fun). However, I saw an article today on AJC.com that caught my eye. It gave a […]
I’m back! I’ve taken a little break from writing my blog to focus on some side hustles, but I couldn’t let 2019 end without posting one more time. New Year’s Eve is always a good time to reflect on the year we’re finishing, but to also look forward to the coming year. I’m not a […]
I’ve been having a bit of writer’s block lately. It’s like my mind is going in so many directions that I’m finding it hard to focus. One of the recurring questions that keeps running through my head is – How is it possible that this year is more than halfway over? We only have 5 […]

“So what do you want to do next?” is the question I get asked constantly these days. And it’s a fantastic question – one that I ask myself on a daily basis. As someone who’s been on the same track her whole life, it’s a bit overwhelming when you decide to completely change course and […]
It’s really crazy – maybe serendipitous – how things start to seemingly fall into place once you open yourself up to new possibilities. I actually started connecting dots way before I realized I was ready to commit to a career change. My favorite example: Not very long after I met with my friend who had […]
As I began my journey, many of the first books I read were all about changing careers, and they were fantastic: Pivot by Jenny Blake, The $100 Startup and Side Hustle by Chris Guillebeau to name a few. I think I became more stressed out reading these, however, because I still had no clue what […]
Have you ever felt like you weren’t doing what you were meant to do in your life? Or maybe that the path you had taken wasn’t the one your heart wanted to stay on, and you needed to find a new one? Well I did. I felt that multiple times over my almost 20 year […]
