What I've been up to...

I feel sort of mischievous, lol.

I made a HUGE decision on Thursday last week which kept me from my lovely blog and all you lovely people.

I mean, I guess it's not HUGE...but huge.

I decided to quit my job as a Quality Assurance Manager.

Yep. Decided it was not right for me. Decided that, in order to be the writer I AM, I needed a change.

I gave my notice today, and I will have my last day August 23th.

I'm so excited for this new journey and you know what? I'm not scared. I'm so happy. A huge weight was just lifted off my shoulders at this decision.

I've read about other writers quitting their jobs. Sometimes, I think the stress zaps our creativity. Sometimes, you just really don't wanna have any other job but writing.

So I made a decision.

I chose writing. I choose to write.

:)

    Wow, that's exciting! I bet your writing will really take off. Are you going to be a professional blogger too? (Is your last day the 23rd or the 30th? Feedly and your blog disagree.)

      That's the plan! lol. It will be the 23rd, it was going to be the 30th, but I decided earlier. I'm so ready! I'm writing down all my ideas and preparing to just do what I've always wanted to do!

    Good for you! Quality Assurance Manager...the name doesn't sound like fun. Plus your BFF is no longer there. Clearly it was time for a change :)

    I did the same thing recently. It does feel like a weight has been lifted. Good luck!

    I'm proud of you Ashley. Sometimes you just have to step out in faith. Taking care of yourself is always the right thing.

    Good for you! It's a huge leap, and it takes time to reorient (speaking from experience), but it's worth it.
