I'd like to spend more time kayaking; "on the water" is my happy place. In 10 years, I'd like to be freelancing full-time, living on a lake or a river.

Another reason I want to freelance more, eventually turning a 'side gig' into a more substantial part of my work life, is that I want to be challenged and to expand my skill set. I need to stick my neck out and go for more opportunities!

I have perfectionistic tendencies but I'm learning to rein them in. If I stretch myself (see the "turtle" quote), then I will undoubtedly make mistakes. When I do, I need to own it, learn from it, and not beat myself up too much about it.

During the pandemic, this guy has been my one (and only) co-worker. If I can work from anywhere, he can always be with me. You just can't look at him without smiling.

I am excited about helping my clients be successful. They do important work, and I can contribute to that. It will also be exciting to have more control over my schedule! I'm also looking forward to having a new professional community. I've gone to the same two conferences each year for 20+ years now, and I just can't anymore!

During the pandemic,  I've enjoyed working outside on my back deck. As a freelancer, I can work wherever I want! (and continue wearing yoga pants on the bottom and a nice shirt on the top)

I want to wow my clients by exceeding their expectations; I want to strive for excellence while maintaining balance. In other words, a little extra is great but I need to not go overboard (unless I really want to & can charge extra for it!!).
