I've made a big change in my life. Our lives actually, as this decision impacts my husband and our children. I've left a job of 5 years. A job that paid well, but has really been making me crazy for about two years with the last 6 months absolutely unbearable.

About a year ago, I opened a consulting business on the side. I fit the work in on weekends and my vacation time. I've had to turn down work because I was out of vacation. Well, a bid I threw out a few months ago panned out. It is enough to replace my income for a year and leave me a huge amount of spare time. Time for my family, my bike, my silly old air-cooled car, time to make more money if I need it... but most of all, time for a life. Best of all, I will be doing exactly the thing that I love best - DOT and Hazardous Materials consulting. I know it's weird but I dig it baby!!!

Today was the last day at the old job. The computer is shut down, the old phone is off, and the equipment has been call-tagged.

Here's to new opportunities and the adventures they bring!
