Kvetch

If not now, when? Go for it! You only get one trip around the block...make it a wonderful ride.

Serendipity, baby!

No time like the present! Hope it ends up being all it's cracked up to be. :)

green3

You Go Girl! And we'll be rooting for you from the sidelines! Life is too short to not be happy. Way too short.

Suzanne

Wow! This is so brave of you. And inspirational. I mean, even without the rain forest chocolates.

mayberry

That is fantastic! Just to know what you want is a HUGE step forward. Can't wait to hear more.

PunditMom

Chocolates could be OK! Seriously, I applaud you. Going through this process has been a continual one for me since PunditGirl came along -- making me realize that those years in law school, and MANY afterwards, weren't fulfilling. We're with you, MMM. Keep us posted.

Jamie

I am so happy for you Nancy!!! Good for you. I've been doing a lot of this type thinking myself lately (I do a lot of editing for very dry business documents and it's a "great" job by many standards with lots of flexibility for mama time so I feel somewhat stuck.)

I can't wait to read more about your new career choice! And Happy Anniversary to you and J. :)

Dawn

Oh good luck! It's scary to look at change - be brave and I'm crossing my fingers for you.

Sueb0b

How great. I am in the same place with my job. I am so proud of you for taking action.

maggie

Good luck! I find my job to be a complete dilemma - I like what it is and what I do - but I'm sort of feeling like I'm at a dead end, and I have kindergarten looming next year. I will be very interested in hearing about your life changes.

MotherPie

Retool and refuel. The wonderful thing about being a woman is we know how to create and we know about cyclical movements, ebbs and flows in life.

Good luck.

Stephanie

What an great post to start off my morning! You're so smart to realize that change is the best thing for you, and so brave to act on it. Good luck!

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah

Good for you. I can't wait to hear more about it!

DaniGirl

Oh, good for you!! Change can be terrifying, but the best things in my life have come from leaps of faith. Good luck! (and now I'm craving movie popcorn. Thanks for that.)

Audrey

That is so awesome. I have watched Tim go from unfulfilling jobs to hugely fulfilling grad school to pursue his teaching dream, and the difference it has made in our lives is incredible. Sure, we are currently on a VERY tight budget to pay for tuition and everything else on my tiny income, but I would gladly go deep into debt if that's what it took. Seeing him as happy as he is now is worth every penny, every cute pair of shoes left on the rack at the store, every ramen noodle lunch. Do whatever you have to do, Nancy. It will be 100% worth it.

Julie

Go for it! I can hardly wait to hear more.

slouching mom

Perfect. Go for it! Who wants to spend so many hours of a life feeling unfulfilled?

Ally

Holy toledo. It's like we're living parallel lives. I had the same exact week, with the same result: I am brainstorming and researching and on my way to a new career. Exciting, no?

V-Grrrl

I'll be re-entering the work force after three years of living in Belgium and blogging.

It's been the most stimulating and creative period of my life, and I'm desperate to figure out how to keep the momentum going when I return to work next spring.

Pendullum

Go for it!!!!!!
Would have loved to have been there to hear all and share the wine and the popcorn....
This is the next best thing....
Go FOR IT!!!!

Amy

I totally feel you. As soon as we get this freaking kitchen done I am going to focus on my educational goals again. Working in marketing in the wine industry is FAB-ulous, but totally unfulfilling. I'd rather be a teacher, or a doctor, or something- anything that actually contributes something to the world aside from just selling more stuff to the American consumer. Sorry. Didin;t mean to hijack- just totally hear you. The hardest thing is making a change- so go for it, you can do it!

Mom101

Your optimism and reluctant excitement is wonderful. Go Nancy!

Jackie

Good luck, Nancy!!!
And I know I'm late but hope you and the hubs had a great anniversary!

Kyla

That is wonderful!! Good luck, Nancy!

mamasgotmoxie

good for you!!! i've got a sucky gig too and i know i'm meant to do far more than just this!

Lawyer Mama

THat's fantastic. It takes a lot of guts to admit that you're unhappy and even more to make a change. Go you! I can't wait to hear more about it.

TB

Good luck with it! It's amazing how much doing what you love can color your whole life. Can't wait for the details.

Oh, The JOys

It's never too late to change. Go for it!

Jennifer

Glad you're going for it, I KNOW you won't regret it.

Selfmademom

That is so great! Good for you. I toy with the same idea all the time, but I do like my job- just not all the drama that goes with it... Can't wait to hear how it goes!

Izzy

I'm way behind on my blog reading but after some of the discussions we had in Chicago about your work, I know this change will be good for you.

And the excitement! My gosh! When was the last time you (or I or ANY of us?) felt that excited about something related to changing careers?

You GO girl! You have my blessing and my support, FWIW, and I'll be right here totally cheering you on!

Heidi

I'm very excited for you! I can't wait to hear more about it.

Also, it's taken me a while, but I finally got caught up on all of the Rosie posts. I know I'm not commenting much, but I'm thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way.

And the pic of the three of you? Seriously, could you three BE any cuter?
