Finding my fire: a year since my big decision

Finding my fire: a year since my big decision

A year ago today, I published a blog post where I declared that I would give up my day job at the end of January 2018 and go full-time as an artist. It was both completely unreasonable and absolutely necessary. It filled me with energy and made me so anxious I felt sick.

Standing on the precipice: my big decision

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I was in the process of making a big decision. This decision has been brewing for a few months, even a few years.

I thought about times in my life when I had taken drastic steps and how much that boldness changed me and spurred me on.
