But I have to say, how others view their job vs their blogs makes me have to bite my tongue sometimes.

I agree that women can be "our" worst critics. Thank you for sharing and just wanted to let you know from someone who is not a blogger and just a <br />mom/worker/friend that I agree..."Let's applaud one another's choices, support them if we like, and keep it to ourselves if we don't. I admire you for doing what you are doing. It is not worth one second of your life to work in a job that you do not like or feel good about. Life is too short! I believe God has a plan for us and it will all work out. Best of luck!

I, like you, have a true passion for interior design and have wondered if I should quit my job in finance and pursue it full-time. At this point in my life I do like (not love though) my current job but I can't help but wonder what my life would be like as a designer.

Thank you for sharing your story and experience - it is so nice to know that you are going through some of the same things I am. I'm so proud of you for making the tough choice to branch out on your own - it was a leap of faith, but clearly so worth it! How amazing that you are working on projects of your own. I know you will be a huge success!

Part of me feels like I need to create something for myself and part of me feels like I just need to apply to a bunch of jobs. Knowing what the right path is (if there is a "right" path) is so hard. You are such an inspiration to me. Every time I think about this, I think about you and what you've been brave enough to do and what you're accomplishing along the way. I love seeing your journey, sincerely appreciate your honesty and transparency, and hope you know how inspiring and helpful posts like this are to others. <br /><br />I'm so happy to hear about these exciting opportunities that are coming your way.
