I’ve received the most wonderful gift – an offer of support, both tangible and emotional, from people who love and believe in me.  Because of this gift, I will be able to turn in my two-week notice Monday morning.  I am being given the opportunity to take control of my life, work for myself, and do something I truly enjoy.  I never thought I’d be able to do it this soon, or even within a few months.  But now I can.  Of course, that does add a bit more pressure, because letting myself down is one thing, but letting someone else down is another thing entirely.

I can do this.  I know I can.  I’ll keep putting in time with the agency on evenings and weekends, and as soon as I’m out of that office, my new life will get my full attention.  I can hear the bells of freedom ringing…
