Some people would say quitting your job, uprooting your life and moving across the continent, saying goodbye to the corporate world and launching your own business in the worst recession since 1945.. is uh.. crazy?
I've had various reactions - from confusion, to inspiration, envy and FULL-ON support (thank you!) - none of which seem to phase me as my answer to the most common question "are you scared?" remains "I'm more scared not to.." It's another group of things on my to-do list. Like my amazing and incredibly accomplished friends, I thrive in chaos, facing several challenges - and with countless balls in the air all at once – it’s what we know, and what we do best.
I'm 28 and after growing up in North Toronto, I've lived here most my life - with the exception of summers spent in our Canadian heaven (Muskoka.. if you know, you love it), my university years at Queen's - a winter/ spring/ summer abroad overseas in London and Western Europe.. a stint in San Francisco and extensive travels to 28 countries, six continents - and still counting! Being in Toronto forever was never my plan.. and for a long time now I've felt the most at home in California - I've even been known to admiringly refer to it as my happy place. These days my preference is LA.. with the sunshine, active lifestyle, and celebrity buzz - there's never a dull moment. Even on your worst day, if you can walk outside and have the sun hit your face it can only get better..
So as I change pretty much everything about my life - or at least a fair bit of it - I'm going to share my stories, experiences and ridiculousness.. with my friends, family and anyone interested in a little dose of my life - in 300 words or less!
To quote Flashdance... "Find your passion and make it happen."
Let's see how that goes!
