I'm so glad you shared your update and I imagine others will be inspired as well! I really like your observation that waiting for the perfect time "ensures it won't happen." It's like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - we just never get there. Well, I'm really glad you've made choices that reflect WHO you are. It will create such lasting impact in your life. And I'm glad I could be of help to you while you were figuring it all out. Enjoy this next leg of the journey! Congrats, Joselle! I’m so glad you shared your update and I imagine others will be inspired as well!

I really like your observation that waiting for the perfect time “ensures it won’t happen.” It’s like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow – we just never get there.

And as your mother said, we are here so briefly. So, I decided to quit my job and move to Philly to be with my fiance. Without a job waiting for me. And without any clear idea of what exactly I'd LIKE to do with my time in exchange for money. But I figured that the time I spend with my future husband and best fried is truly precious and incredibly limited even without being miles away from each other. I realized everything else would or wouldn't fall into place when I'm seeing him on a daily basis. And that brings us one step closer to being married and having babies, all of which I want way more than a job. What I want to do with my time is be with the ones I love. I've learned that waiting for the perfect time for anything pretty much ensures it won't happen. So I just decided to quit what wasn't important so I could do what is important (thanks for clarifying that, Seth Godin). Great post, Jennifer. And I hope you appreciate this little update I'm giving you. Thank you for your emails and taking the time to talk with me a few months back. This decision was made in huge part due to the great conversations I had with you and others. Time is really all we have. And as your mother said, we are here so briefly.
