Today I closed a chapter in my life. I resigned from my job after working full-time for 13+ years as a director/designer. It was a tough decision that I struggled with and prayed about for several months and after going through all kinds of emotions, I finally decided to let it go… This was a choice we made as a family when we decided to “simplify” our lives. As much as I would like to think I was good at balancing my kids and my career, the truth was, I was not… I was too busy, doing too many things and was always on the go, rushing my kids along. I chose to take a few steps back and reprioritize my life. It’s nerve-wracking to think that I’m letting go of a career I’ve been building for 21 years, but I came to realize the most important job I needed to be best at is being a mom and a wife.
I have been so blessed to do what I love for a living and met so many wonderful people in my industry who became my closest friends. As much as I’m sad, I’m also excited to relax a little, spend more quality time with my family and most excited about driving kids to school in my pjs tomorrow morning!
I’ll miss this place…
Celebratory lunch with my co-workers. Cheers!
I’ll be working with them as a consultant. 😉
