Dream Big

Never in a million years would I have thought that  I would leave my career of nearly 20 years to chase a dream, but I did just that. I am a person who loves calm, predictable days.  Definitely not one to take risks, especially when it comes to my family.  Yet, here I am going into year 3 of following a dream.  It has been unbelievably challenging, amazing, fulfilling, and downright terrifying.

Turning in my resignation was heartbreaking for me, but with a perfect storm of difficult circumstances it was the best decision.  I had a dream.  It had been flickering in my soul for years.  I had taken that first excruciating step.  It was like jumping out of an airplane with no parachute hoping you learn to fly.

Now 3 years later I am still working on that dream, only now that dream has grown. Will I reach it?  I don’t know, watch and see. It is absolutely terrifying, but I will always be proud that I took that first step. And then the next, and then the next.  If I can do it, I bet you can too.

Take that first step.
