So at first when I started reading this I thought, like Summer, that I need to do this for myself too. But the more I read the more I realised that you’ve pretty much summed up everything, so succinctly and beautifully. Sure, I’ll still do the exercise for myself but I could definitely print this list and keep it too as it really is full of truths.

Also loving the Crafting My Life theme (and title) because I’m pretty much walking the same path at the moment (minus the layoff, but still).

Thanks for sharing Amber.

Great post. Most of these points I’ve working on for years, several I’ve only begun to hone this last year. Becoming a mother is a catalyst.

I don't know what to say, Amber. You said it all! As for myself, I have to work on the "optimism" part of your list. .-= Francesca´s last post ..Creative eco-[non]packaging =-.

Amen to all of it, Amber. Getting clear about what is important makes all of one’s energies and juices flow. So much is possible when a person focuses and gets behind what is important to them. You do such a beautiful job of consciously crafting your life and we get to read about it and be your supportive witnesses. Your example is very powerful. Who knows what kind of a ripple effect you are causing? Going by the response, it’s a big one. Hurray for you and all of those who chose to take their lives into their own hands, Hurray, I say!

I agree that change can be really hard.

It’s one of those cheesy things though – I find that having the right attitude about tackling changes (an adventure! growing my abilities! cliche stuff like that) really helps me a lot.

Love this! I’m going to sit down tomorrow afternoon and try to work out something like this for myself. Thank you so much for sharing it!

I love your blog!! I subscribed to your feed, can't wait to see what's to come. I'm also an engineer turned mom, only I work part-time. Since the birth of my son I have really seen the value in being home with him, before I had him I was sure I'd want to work full-time. .-= Rachel´s last post ..Top Organic Baby Food Choice =-.
