Dear Visitor,
You're in the middle of something, aren't you? Sorry to interrupt. Is it something you like?
I hope so. Do you know it's possible to do something you hate for years? Because you think you "have" to? Well, let me tell you about such a time in my life and how I changed it all up. It all just happened...
Without using any eclipse metaphors, let me say that I'm in the process of shutting down a business that I started five years ago next month. I was ready to shut it down three years ago, frankly. Never liked it much. Stymied my ability to use my greatest skills. It totally separated me from myself. Won a top ten multi-million-dollar award from the local association and still struggled to make the business pan out or enjoy it.
I noticed only recently that there's a four-year gap in my personal journal that exactly coincides with running this business. Four years. No entries.
…Where did I go?
Finally, after much back-and-forthing, I decided that I could just…stop. [Read more, if you want to stop doing what you hate...]
(P.S., I'm doing this now:)
