Filed Under: Faith, Gussy, inspiration, quitting my day job

Ya’ll, I have a soul-bursting announcement…

I have put in my 2-weeks notice at my day job,
and in 14 days I’ll be working exclusively on Gussy!!!

Can you believe it?

I’m not sure if I believe it’s REALLY here — that it’s REALLY time to be sharing this, making this public. Now you’re probably wondering, What is the Family Goal for?

Well… that is another surprise and I think it will be revealed in exactly 2 weeks. Can you wait two weeks? Please say yes.

The most exciting part has just begun: Monday, May 17 is my first day as an exclusive Gussy girl.

But… also in two weeks I have some advice to share and tips to reveal on how Zack and I were able to get to this amazing, exciting, LIFE-CHANGING goal.

Yep — Zack was and is a big part of it all :]

OK. I’m going to step away from the computer and let this soak in some more. My brain is just a little, tiny bit tired. Keeping secrets is hard, you know. Tee he he.

I did it! I did it! Yeowwwwwwwwww!

And ya’ll helped :] Thank you!

My heart is just sooo happy…

I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with your business now-imagine the possibilities! Look at what you accomplished while working another job—and now to be blessed to get to focus on Gus-splendid!!!

    i quit my marketing job to be a stay at home mom two years ago! i am sooooooo proud of you that you get to throw yourself full-time into your awesome sewing gig!!
    you have inspired me to learn to sew…seriously…i’m going at the end of the month to pick out a sewing machine with a friend who knows way more than I do (by the way…if you have a suggestion for what a first-timer should buy, I would gladly appreciate it!)
