A solution to hot food becoming cold on the plate

Supportive Friends: Taking The Leap

I was reminded this week about how much friendships mean to me and how important it is to maintain them.  I have been stressing out from my work load, full-time during the day at a financial firm, evenings and weekends with my Dining Stones business.  So I made the decision to take that leap … quit my day job to pursue my dream.
I honestly feel like I have just leaped from an airplane, with my hand on the rip chord, but not 100% sure that it will work!  892794
Panic, excitement, anticipation, all rolled into one big, scary decision.
The first place I turned to was to my friends!  These are the people that will be honest with me, who care about me and the success of my business, and will stand by me if things don’t go as hoped.
I shared my decision with my closest friends and they were right there with me, supportive, helpful, and wonderful.  So I gave my two weeks notice to the company that has been a major part of my life for over eight years.  There were tears, these people are like family.  I enjoy seeing them every day and really don’t want that to end.  But life is about challenges, changes, and taking chances.  Soon it will be in my hands to work hard at marketing Dining Stones, network with other entrepreneurs, build the business even further and hopefully, land safely in the world as a success.
