Updates and Such

Blogging has felt more few and far between this May since after a month off, I was back at my part-time job most mornings from about 7 to 11. Well, that's all about to change since I actually put my two-weeks notice in yesterday and will be done on May 30th.



This was certainly a difficult decision to navigate as I truly enjoy the job, my role, the people, and the laid back atmosphere. So why leave? Part of the problem was a constantly changing schedule and without consistent days on or off, my full time job suffered. After much prayer and discernment, Taylor and I finally made the decision that it was time for me to leave. And then even once that was a reality, I held on to my resignation letter for a week because I just couldn't bring myself to turn it in! As a people-pleaser (and conflict-avoider!) I was dreading the thought of letting someone down, or causing stress. T really talked me through the reality of the situation - being in a part time job always means high turn over and I had actually been in this role a lot longer than most. Doesn't everyone need someone in their corner, giving them a pep talk before moving forward?!

Even though I am sad to leave, it has already felt like a huge weight lifted to (eventually) be back in control of my schedule. Have you ever had to quit a job you actually liked?
