life is almost good - The Times They Are A-Changin’

I can't be graceful all the time.

I am taking a leap.

I am leaving my job on May 11. I’ve been with the company nearly five years. I know May 11 is a long ways off, but due to the nature of my job, I gave a massive amount of notice.

This job has been my home away from home for so long that I wonder if I’ll accidentally show up for work after I’m done. I love the people I work with. They are family to me.

So Lindee, why are you leaving then? You might ask.

I mentioned in my introduction post (Welcome!) that I am almost good at a lot of things (hence the name of my blog) and that it’s time for me to be something I’m all the way good at. Well, as it turns out, accounting is something I’m only almost good at.

At this point in my life, what I’m good at is being a mom, being compassionate, writing, and listening. So I took a giant leap and with tears in my eyes, I gave my wonderful boss my 3 month notice. He was (and has always been) a tremendous source of wisdom, knowledge and support for me. He was 100% supportive of my decision and up until May 11th, I’ll continue to be the best right hand (wo)man to him that I can possibly be.

So as the great Bob Dylan sang, The Times They Are A-Changin’ for the V family and I can’t wait to see what this new adventure brings.

Have you ever made a huge leap to do something you’re all the way good at?
