Making The Leap

I just watched a Food Network show about a magazine editor, Kate Sullivan , who loved decorating cakes so much that she decided to start her own cake business, Lovin Sullivan Cakes. With a newborn and no stable income, she still took that chance. What does it take for someone to decide to give up a good career to do something they love? To do something unorthodox by society’s standards?
In a couple of days, a friend of ours will leave her job to write children’s stories. I admire that. It takes courage to take that leap.
Job satisfaction cannot simply be a paycheck at the end of each month. For everyone out there who’s ever contemplated pursuing a passion, now’s probably as good a time as any to think about it.
