"I been afraid of changing, 'cause I built my life around you. "

Change. Grow. It's worth it.

I have experienced an exception. In 2014, I got an opportunity to have the job I'd wanted for years. I now work for a different company, but the work itself is still engaging, fulfilling, and makes me happy every day. I want to do this until I retire. What is this wonderful career? I'm a dog trainer. 🤗

So often in my life, on those rare occasions I got what I wanted, my response has been, “Is that all there is?” I’m a recovering perfectionist, which could have something to do with this, I suppose.
