Good on you for making a decision that fills your heart! I actually made the leap completely away from the law to pursue painting full-time last August and don’t regret it one bit. Sometimes I miss the lawyer I *thought* I wanted to be, but it feels good to own the fact that who I thought I was when I went to law school at 22 just didn’t end up aligning with who I actually am at 34.

Good luck with this new path!

Cheering you on and very excited for your book to come out! I once got frustrated with never getting accepted to writing residencies and retreats. So I gave myself a retreat in Sicily. I wrote a good chunk of a book in three weeks and ate pasta with Italians and pinched myself a lot. It's really that simple. Still scary, though!

Wow, a retreat in Italy sounds like a dream. Adding that to the bucket list!

Such a scary leap but one that is amazing and exciting and admirable for you. And isn't that what life is all about? Sometimes you just have to take the leap and risk and live it. So excited for you.
