No one likes to think about the fact that their going to wake up jobless tomorrow, but here I am. I was with the company for three and half years and now… I’m not. Often times when something like this happens it’s a huge downer for people. I’m extremely thankful for this opportunity… I’m not even kidding. I’ve been dealing with a large amount of stress for awhile and trying to figure out how to relieve it. It’s a known fact by those around me that my job was a huge source of this stress. They were right when they said, “we just don’t feel like it’s a good fit anymore.” I totally agree. Thanks for making that first move and getting this ball rolling.

What’s next for Lee? Well… that’s an excellent question! It’s time for a visit to North Carolina to visit some awesome friends and family and get some well overdue hugs. I’m going to spend some time in some coffee shops reading, writing, thinking, looking for awesome job opportunities, and enjoying the moment for what it really is… a chance to breathe deeply and reconnect. There are already a few side projects that I’m working on and now I can put a little bit more time into those. As you can see, I’m finally writing again and that alone makes me REALLY happy! Do you ever feel like you just can’t hear the music anymore? That’s the place I was heading and I don’t like that place at all. Once you there, in that place where “the real you” starts to fade, it’s extremely hard to get out. Well… I’m out now and it feels amazing to feel the creativity flowing again.

Life is what’s ahead of you. It’s the next breath, the next step, the next tear, and the next “I love you!” We are bound by the limits we oppose on ourselves. What’s holding you back? What keeps you from the things that inspire and encourage you? Whatever it is, maybe it’s time to rise up and tell it to move the heck out of your way! Breathe deeper, walk taller, and love stronger than you ever have before.
