I !LUV this. Yes! We are all allowed to leave any space that doesn't feel good to us. Being on Hive, writing regularly is where I am at and what I am enjoying. I'm not a full-time author ...yet. Realistically, I have a family and bills to pay ... and any switch from one career to another, when you have responsibilities, does not happen overnight. So my day job is something I must do for now, but at least where my lines with work were once drawn in the sand, they are now engraved in concrete! I do not compromise my personal time for an employer anymore. I have my family to enjoy and my passion to pursue. I currently fit my writing around my day job, but I am working towards turning my goals into reality, as we all should be doing. I do look forward to the day that I can wake up and know that my day is simply filled with joy and passion. A lovely inspirational piece @consciouscat🙏 I am sure that the decision you have taken will be the right one for you and wish you all the very best as you negotiate your way to a more fulfilling life (although having seen your articles, it looks pretty wonderful to me already)😍 Have you thought of joining Ladies of Hive, Wednesday Walk and posting more in Proof of brain? I think a lot of your posts would fit in very nicely in these communities and would perhaps open up a wider audience for increased rewards on a regular basis :-) and also allow you to curate some wonderful publications. You write really well and I think you would do well in contests like LOH weekly contest, Proof of Brain Word of the Week run by @scholaris, and Wednesday Walk run by @tattoodjay. Just some thoughts that came to me as I looked over the content of what you write about ;-)

Oh My Gosh, Sam! Here you are again, loving on me and supporting me. You are so good at this woman! Seriously. I'm glad you're finding your way on Hive as a supporter of others - I can see that this will be a key part of your strategy to grow your influence, impact & income on Hive... and let you leave that day job sooner.
Right! Communities. I shall join. Thanks for the invites and suggestions 🧡 I shall attempt to do as many of your fabulous suggestions as possible, and, like you, Hive is a secondary thing. Unless or maybe UNTIL I can integrate it well into my business, it will always be something I do after all my other "important" things are done: serving and teaching clients/students/followers.
For now, let me join these spaces and see where we go from there. Thank you again love!
You are very welcome. I hope you get some joy out of them 🙏If I think of anything else, I'll let you know, otherwise feel free to tag me if you have any more questions or just drop a comment on one of my posts and I'll find you 😊
And thanks for the reblog Sam! I'm thinking I'm not going to sustainably be able to keep up with the number of people reblogging my work (a wonderful "problem" to have) but for now I'm publicly grateful (as opposed to privately grateful, which I will always be when people reblog my stuff!)
Well, you're clearly doing something right 💗
