Well, I have heard it said many times, with the changes in our bodies and lifestyles, also comes other personal life changes too. Today, I took a huge step and gave my notice at work. I am leaving behind a job with stability, but no future in my chosen career, and am taking on temporary work instead. This is way out of my comfort zone, but it is a much needed change. This means the budget will be tight, insurance more expensive, and there is a lot of unknowns. But, it is time for a change. So, here is to stepping out of a comfort zone and into learning to embrace change, and risk.

I wish you the very best. That is a bold step to take. I hope you look back on your life in a year or two, and like surgery, realize it was the best decision you ever made. Best of luck.
