A Leap of Faith…

May 16, 2010

When I started Five Grain Events I thought maybe someday I’d have enough work to go full time. Then a couple months ago I began thinking it would be more like a year. Believe it or not, last Monday I gave notice at work.

As of May 26th, I will be working full time on Five Grain Events!

It was a difficult decision, but one that I realized was meant-to-be. I haven’t become overwhelmed by doing Five Grain plus working full time yet…but I could see that coming down the horizon thanks to all the wonderful referrals I’ve been getting.  I just felt like, “what am I waiting for?”

It’s hard to believe that this moment has come so soon–WELL before I thought it would. I’m a little nervous but mostly SO EXCITED about everything there is to look forward to. I’m going to be able to put all my energy now into building Five Grain Events into the business I want it to be.

Thank you to all my family, friends, blog readers, facebook friends, and twitter followers for helping me make my dreams a reality.

If you feel so inclined and know of anyone who is in need of a wedding or event planner/coordinator I’d be so grateful if you’d pass along my name!

So much love to you all,

Joan
