I finished painting a spare room yesterday and experienced a strange moment of clarity.

I decided I'm closing my little coffee shop. It's taken me a long time to deliberate on this, but at the same time I've been winding down some apsects of it intentionally & semi-subconsciously sabatoging myself in others, for a couple of years. It's time.

I'm trying to balance the intimidation & excitement. There's a lot I want to do. I don't know of any of it will work out. Yes, things alway work out one way or another... I just dread employment. I've been a feral earner for most of my working life. I have no plan, other than to try to keep it that way.

Good luck with future endeavors πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

Burn the boats my dear. If you know that it's time then its time. Travel to Madeira, dive deep elsewhere. From what I have tasted of you the passion is strong and the feral isn't untamed, its motivated.

I wish you luck not not that it's needed

Thank you πŸ«‚ we'll see how this goes. I might end up peddling fuel and candybars within a month but whatever. That's not so bad.

You get those bug guts off the window young lady you might earn and extra crisp $1 bill ;)

πŸ€£πŸ˜… shameless isn't a street corner, it's windex & newspaper.

Wise words. Sometimes ya gotta rip the bandaid straight off.

All the best, Dawn 🫑

Thank you! πŸ«‚ I need a change... I'll still be roasting coffee as a "hobby" ... just fyi πŸ˜‰πŸ˜…

Phew, I was panicking 🫨

Big changes I've made like this always turned out for the better. It'll lead you someplace great, no doubt 😁

Proud of you for taking the leap. The most awesome things await you, I just know it πŸ«‚πŸ’œ

Bollocks to it all, artisanal cribbage boards are the way forward 😁. But good for you I am quietly quitting but sometimes I think I should pack it all in to avoid the monotony πŸ˜‚

I figured I can't keep quiet about it or I'll keep talking myself out of the change.

I don't know if cribbage boards are my future but they sure are fun to make. Power tools are an Achilles heel for me πŸ˜…

Perhaps your using bad power tools or worn bits etc. I used think the same, turns out it was the tools.

No, it's me. I am well aware lol

Yesss you got this! 🫑

Bold move, I like it!

I love those moments of clarity πŸ’œ

So much deliberation goes on in our subconscious. It’s wonderful when we finally come to a decision. It suddenly feels like our mind, gut and heart are all on the same page ***sigh***

I’m excited for you 🀩

Thank you... you are so correct. I felt the weight dissipate immediately. I needed to sleep on it to make sure I was sure. I was πŸ«‚

Saw this yesterday and didn’t have time to respond at the moment. Good luck with whatever is next for you. Change isn’t always easy but it can be worth it and sounds like you’re ready for something to change. πŸ«‚πŸš€

Thanks, sir. I am definitely ready πŸ«‚

Embrace the unknown. Trust yourself. Don't cling to the past. This is growth. Exciting times!
