Last Day of Work and Next Steps

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?
- Rumi

Yesterday was my last day at Merrill Lynch. It was a great nine years and there are many people there I will miss working with. I am thankful for the people I met during my career, who supported and encouraged me. I'm on cloud nine now, but there were difficult times when I was ready to give up on my dreams. Their encouragement and support kept me going and I will never forget.

Now it is time to pack, buy supplies, and visit with family and friends before Melanie and I set off. I am so excited and thankful to be in a position to do this and that I have the support of my lovely wife!
