It's actually something i started a year ago, namely bringing a dream into reality. Once i took the plunge and just did it, i found myself doing the other things: asking help from some people and doing things that make a difference. In order to do that, i had to stop a lot of what i was doing and find myself having to cut some more things. It doesn't have anything to do with my job, but it does set me up for The Next Chapter, which might mean that i keep my current job or find another. Because i was willing to bring my dream into reality, i view my current job differently. I want to do it to the best of my ability. I'm not sure if it's simply a stepping stone to The Next Chapter or if i keep it when i embark on The Next Chapter. I'm clearing away some of the stuff i don't need anymore, and think i'll find the answer. great questions! megan I have a project that combines the “start one big project that excited you and scared you in equal measures, what would you start” and “take a risk that is on the very knife-edge of working and not working, what risk would you take?”

It’s actually something i started a year ago, namely bringing a dream into reality.
