I've wondered if being laid off would be a blessing in disguise, too, but the thought of it also terrifies me (I have no idea how we would pay our bills). I totally hear ya about the drain from the day job!! I'm usually exhausted by the time I get home and I partially blame my lack of get up and go for other stuff on that. I think I need to check out that audiobook... Thanks again, chica!Athena's Armouryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09578173385964608598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-200495080006803235.post-73106181194627248552010-01-08T09:29:52.791-05:002010-01-08T09:29:52.791-05:00I was 'involuntarily liberated' from my da...I was 'involuntarily liberated' from my day job the day after last Thanksgiving. I took it as a huge blessing--the place was not a healthy work environment at all (I'm being *very* nice :) ). I thought I would be scared and depressed being around the holidays and all, but I had fortunately built up a $ cushion and I've been able to concentrate on what I love full-time. That really is priceless.<br /><br />I was a bit chicken to take the leap myself, but I welcome the kick in the ass from the Universe. I would encourage anyone who has a passion for something to at least give it a try and go balls out. I can't even begin to explain the mental and physical drain the day job took on me. I didn't even fully realize until I was out of there. I used to be sick all the time, but I have been so healthy with lots of energy since...<br /><br />I recently downloaded the audiobook "No Excuses!" by Wayne Dyer and it's been really great to get me focused and get my head right. I highly recommend it!ErinMichael.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946581028792458826noreply@blogger.com
