I now have 4 (yep, you read that right – FOUR!) days left in my JOB! I can hardly believe how fast the past few weeks have gone. Sorry to be missing in action; I’ve been running around like crazy, trying to clean up my desk for the next poor soul who fills my position, and then when I’m at home I’m working on growing my businesses, trying to spend at least some quality time with my husband and daughter, and on top of it all, preparing the house for a July 4th get-together – why, oh why did I agree to have it at my house, with so much other stuff going on??! But in all seriousness, I am really looking forward to this weekend. This Thursday, July 3rd, will be my last day of working full-time for someone else, slaving away to put their dreams and goals into action, and we’re going to celebrate with an evening of fun and festivities at my sister’s house. This night will be filled with food, beverages (adult and otherwise!), fireworks, and plenty of interesting conversations with those closest to me. Woo-hoo!

I must admit, now that my independence day is getting closer, I’m starting to get a little nervous. It’s a bit like jumping off a cliff, with no idea what’s waiting for you in the dark water below. But it’s also exhilarating to know that I will be in control of my future. What a rush! The potential rewards are well worth the risk.

Back to the weekend plans – this Friday, I’ll be celebrating not only our country independence but also my own. My weekend is jam-packed with plans to get together with family and friends, and I’m so looking forward to sharing my excitement with them all. Then, come Monday, it’s off to work in my home office as my own boss! I can hardly wait!
