Good luck on your new venture. I am in the same position right now. I am a teacher, career coach and an impressionist artist. I will be creating a website with my artwork soon. Best of luck.

Poet,
Yes, good for you! I've always thought that since we spend something like 85% of our waking hours working, it might as well be something we enjoy. Better yet, it should be what we are called to do.

I made the choice not to go job-hunting in the face of some serious crises at home. I'm sticking by that choice, reserving the job-thing for "if all else fails". It's scary, but it feels right.

Good luck to you :)

Good for you!

I did that a few months ago and I feel much better. I think you will too once you adjust to the shock of making such a big and scary choice.

You only live once, so you might as well make yourself happy.
