Quitting one job to do something you love and were meant to be doing is a huge leap of faith, but one you have to take if you can. I did this a couple of years ago when the opportunity to write (a life long pipe dream I had) landed in my lap.

I still have my day job of working for the Cubs, and I'm not making any money from my writing, yet, but I'm DOING WHAT I WAS MEANT TO BE DOING.

Fyi, it was SO MUCH FUN to meet you last night at the first story supper thing and connect with other local writers. Really looking forward to more of these in the future!
