“The only thing that I was equipped for with my very mediocre college Arts degree was to get a job in teaching.”
“I used to be a classic workaholic, and after seeing how little work and career really mean when you reach the end of your life, I put a new emphasis on things I believe count more. These things include: family, friends, being part of a community, and appreciating the little joys of the average day.”
