LEO [July 23–August 22]: As I suspect you've guessed by now, Leo, there's one potential accomplishment that's more important than all the others—if you can pull it off, it'll change your life forever. I'm talking about the acceptance of full and complete responsibility for your own happiness. How? By studying in exquisite detail all the things you need to feel great, and then taking bold and aggressive steps to make sure they happen consistently.

Why I'm leaving my job...

Beginning June 27th, I will no longer be a teacher.

Why am I leaving my job???

Because...

-the money is wack. How will I ever be able to afford that UWS penthouse on my salary?

-I feel drained emotionally & physically at the end of the day. Frankly it'd be less tiring to run a marathon every day than continue doing this job.

-I feel like I haven't been able to find my rythm in the past four years. I don't feel like I'm fully me when I teach. I feel like the Catholic School girl version of me.

-Why teach people who have zero appreciation for education & who can't multiply in the 8th Grade??

-I have been trying my best, but I don't feel like it's my 200% and honestly I don't want to give anyone anything less than that be it at a job or in a friendship. I only want to give the very best of me.

-I'm going through quarter life crisis.

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW????

Live, live, live!!!

My weeks will include cycling, running, yoga, dancing, swimming, drawing, theatre, working on business ventures. Sleeping. Loving me. Loving life. Passion.

I'm moving on August 1st! As in out of the country. Hopefully not forever because I love NYC...More on that soon...

So close and yet so far...

34 days until the end of the school year and my job ends.

I am working so hard to have faith but to be honest I'm bored to death with my job & at the same time working hard at work and there are so many stressful things at work.

Anyhow, 3 weeks ago I gave my notice at work:) Last week I showed a video of my trip home. My boss has tried on many occassions to get me to stay. No such luck. What lies ahead you ask..I'll keep you posted! In my next post I want to talk more about why I'm leaving my job...
