It’s official. Seventeen years and just under one month after I started my career at the company, it ends.

What finally made it feel real? When I went to bed and I didn’t have to locate the work phone to put it on a charger. That’s been part of the nightly prep for as long as I’ve had a work phone. Ten, fifteen years?
But on we go.
New opportunities are being pursued, in any number of other directions. Applications elsewhere are still sent out, even as a business plan is in the works.
I don’t know what comes next.
That should be making me nervous.
It’s not — or at least not yet.
I wouldn’t describe the feeling as peace exactly but it does surpass understanding.
I dearly thank everyone who has been surrounding me with prayers and support and contacts and advice. It really is so appreciated.
