Keep trying them, too! You’ll be amazed at how much confidence you build up each time you stick your neck out. 🙂

I really like Anita Brookner. Good choice.

Happier — that’s where our jobs should take us, right? We went into this profession (at least I did) to have a job we love. If it’s keeping us up nights, there’s no point.

Glad you got things sorted, Devon.

Oh, another reason to like you — you used “the vapors” in a comment! 🙂 It’s one of my favorites.

It was your recommendation that made me get interested in her work.

Two in such a short time. I may come down with the vapors! 😉

Thank you for the opportunity. I’m humbled.

Even the thought of it was horrifying.

So I sat down with advisors I trust, and we crafted a new plan. And started to implement it. A SCARY new plan, because it went against what a lot of “experts” advise. But I’m happier. I still have to make adjustments, but I’m happier.
