Recently, I read The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. This book was recommended to me by a several people including my mom, cousin, and a stranger who was hosting a book club.
I have had this book for a while and I finally sat down to read it.
This book is a quick read, about 138 pages, and it is rich in content. I personally took my time reading this book, so I could truly appreciate the information and what it means to me.

My friend and I decided to go on a weekend trip to Fredericksburg, TX. Fredericksburg, TX is located in hill country about an hour and a half from Austin. It is known for all the amazing wineries it has and its German history. It is a good place for a girl’s trip, bachelorette trip, or couple trips. You can even make it a two-for-one trip and visit Fredericksburg and Austin like we did.

Today, March 25th, I put in my two weeks notice at work. I am nervous and scared but most of all excited because I know that there is something greater out there for me.
My job has been amazing in regards to the people I work with, the benefits (salary and 401k match), and professional development opportunities (Toastmasters). However, the job or work I do is not where I see myself long-term and I feel that I am holding myself back if I stay in this position. Lately, every morning I dread getting out of bed and I am afraid it’s starting to show in my work.
I am taking a leap of faith and quitting my job without another one lined up. I will be living off of my emergency fund and plan to get a part-time job to supplement that until I find a job I enjoy.
I will be intentional on this job search. I am holding myself responsible for not taking the first job I am offered just because. I am really focusing on choosing a company I am interested in and can grow with. If I am being honest though, I can feel my natural instinct kicking in and me just wanting to get another job as quickly as can so I don’t have to wonder where my next paycheck is coming from.
Currently, I am looking at recruiter positions because I enjoy speaking with people and this type of role will give me that and more autonomy and independence in the work I do. I have also been looking into some sales positions with companies that I believe in.
My ideal job requirements:
Excited but scared and nervous. Regret because now I have no money coming in and bills to pay. I am excited because I am going to take the steps to create a life I love from the bottom up.
I feel good. I took half days from work every day this week and I enjoyed those days to myself. Most days I sat down and just relaxed. I had a few job interviews scheduled so I also attended those. I am crossing my fingers that something positive comes from these interviews.

I finally got to see what it is like to work from a coffee shop. I went to George Coffee & Provision coffee shop to knock out some work and change up the scenery. I posted an Instagram photo and created some graphics on Canva to post about the book “Bad with Money”.

Good news I got invited for a final interview with a company that I am excited about. Also, my manager from my current employer reached out to me about potentially staying with the company and if she could provide any feedback as I move on to my next steps.
Coming soon
