Given we’re in the period of the ‘great recession’, this might not come as a shock, but I have resigned from the job I’ve been with for over eight years and for a company I have worked for twice in my career.

This decision wasn’t made likely, in fact, it took over six months to make.

Birthdays are a good time for reflection. I’m not scared of them anymore nor do I fear getting older. I’m learning to embrace age because as each year goes by, I learn more and more. And those experience shape who I am and who my future self will be.
