It may seem morbid but. . .

When my dad died March 7th 2006, I decided right then and there that I didn't want to keep a job that drained me [70 mile commute EACH WAY plus endless expectations to publish or perish]. I asked myself, "What if this were my last year on the planet?" It may seem morbid but it was motivating to me to think that someday we will all lie on our deathbed looking back through the history of our lives—it’s true for most of us. We will undoubtedly think about what we wished we had done or accomplished. My own father told me to avoid regretting what could have been, what should have been. So... I decided then to pursue my dreams. I became a founder of my own business, an educator out of my own home (classroom and meditation room), and a self-publishing author/coach to authors, and an outside-the-job-box career counselor who found her calling by helping others find theirs!
