It's so good to see you and Tim doing what you love, Nola. They say that's the secret of life (whoever they are) - if what you do for work is what you love, then it doesn't really feel like work. That's not saying that writing isn't 99% dedication to the craft. It is...but it also energizes and inspires us; so unlike the effect of a daily grind at the office. Looking forward to sharing the journey.
Thanks for that Melinda. You're so right. I certainly had lots of great experiences in my old job, including meeting you, and I still love teaching. But it had gotten to the stage where my heart really wasn't in some other aspects of the job. I've been a creative person since I was a toddler, so it's been great to get back to my roots these last 7 years and nurture that side more. We're really grateful to God for the way this opportunity has worked out and we're looking forward to seeing where it will lead. Looking forward to journeying with you :)
