I, too, used to do the corporate thing and was miserable. Then I took a job managing a small business and I loved it - for almost eight years. But then, something started nagging at me, again, not quite to the same extent as it did during my corporate incarnation, but I still wasn't entirely happy. I realized I still wasn't done being authentic. Now I run my own business and I'm doing what I love - and life has expanded in ways I never thought possible. I'm intrigued by your comment that eating whole, natural foods are essential to this way of living. I'm pretty good at eating "healthy," but won't deny myself the occasional (okay, daily....) indulgence of some "vices" such as Ben and Jerry's, or diet soda (yes, I know - working on that one....). I can't help but wonder what might happen if I truly eliminated all of those foods/drinks - would it speed up my expansion even more? It might. But then again, indulging myself in these things is part of what feels authentic to me, so maybe that's why it works for me?

Thank you so much for describing the joy of living an authentic life. I've never had a corporate job, but I've definitely been in situations that were not true to who I was. Sometimes years would go by like that... At age 40, I'm happier than I ever was. I still have issues I need to work on... and to date I haven't found the career or job that's "the one." I'm not sure I ever will... but I've come to some peace around that. I think my only real pull has been to know God (at one point entering a nunnery definitely crossed my mind!). Where this will take me, I don't know... but that's ok too. :) To hear someone enjoying their path through life is fantastic. I'm so glad I found your blog!
