5 point plan for quitting a job when they don’t want to let you go
It’s been several wonderful years, and now I have to steel myself, grit my teeth, and quit my job so I can work on my own goals of development. With that in mind, here’s my five point plan to quitting my job when they don’t want to let me go…
Being a true life faerie
All my life I felt that I should really have been born a faerie and recently I decided to become one. We have been running The Faerie Circle for about a year now, and while there have been challenges, it has definitely brightened up my life.

A few months after starting to run regularly, my fiance found a local sword fighting class. Even a year earlier I might have hesitated (“swords aren’t for people like me”) but thanks to my new-found confidence, I was ready to dive in. I’ve spent the last six months focusing on thinking of my body in new, positive ways. I focus on what I can do instead of my perceived flaws. I don’t wake up every morning feeling like the most beautiful woman on the planet, but I also don’t usually wake up in a cloud of self hate.
