RubyKitty,

Thanks for your encouragement! For a long time I was ignoring my instincts -- that corporate America wasn't for me -- and forcing myself to enjoy a career that wasn't fulfilling. Although I am making next to nothing for the moment, I am so much more content with my life. I'm glad that you also found a way to feel appreciated and happier in your career.

Best,
Pamela

Claire--

I'm humbled that my story encouraged you to create an account on CraftStylish. There are so many beautiful and inspiring things to discover here!

Thank you so much for your kind wishes. I actually have many friends, who, after working for "the man" for a number of years, decided to go back to school to become teachers. They are all blissfully happy. I hope that you find what makes you happy.

Best,
Pamela

Re: Amy Butler Dinnerware

Oh, sorry Jennifer! Actually, I was inspired by your latest Amy Butler post to check out what else she had going on -- so I suppose I had you in mind when I was writing mine :)
