Meredithbead,

You are already doing what you love -- at least it sounds that way. I don't want to give the impression I was truly unhappy in my 1st career -- far from it, it was exciting. I learned how to work within a large organization. But the day came when I realized it was all too hectic and my health was suffering from it. And since I'd started work so early, I was able to opt out.
I think it is wonderful that you've found something creative to do.
