I liked your description of starring at the ceiling in the dark during a period of restless reflection and then later how you found your heart" burned with conviction and purpose" after you took the leap. A really nice, well written, and engaging post! It is weird how when one is done with something, how it happens almost all at once.

Thank you, Kate! It was a very intense process, and I am feeling so grateful that I got the courage to be transparent about it. Many people have contacted me and I was able to help them just by sharing information about my process - that made the scary vulnerability part totally worth it..

I’m still in the DOI oven, or Purgatory as we call it

Good luck over there - my calling was something else, so I made the leap of faith.

Yeah. They have another deferred resignation offer open right now that closes midnight tomorrow. My issue is that by taking the agreement I’d essentially be silencing myself via the non-disclosure portion. At some point they will just fire me or take me back lol.

My wife and I named our first daughter Lydiana, as a way to combine two of our favorite Bible people: Lydia and Anna the prophet. We want these women to inspire her.
