I woke up this morning to find that Comstock's Magazine published my story about making the switch from full-time teacher, to full-time business owner. As many of you know, making the decision to leave the classroom and pursue this new career was not one that was easy to make.

I adore this short clip on Youtube. In it, Betty Reilly, an 85-year-old woman shares her story of graduating college in her old age. Even though I’m several years younger, it’s extremely encouraging on those days when I’m not all that enamored by the thought of returning to school.
