Thank you so much for sharing this! You know you said you aren't that "ego-less" - I think that's something that slips out in moments like this. Your conscience mind may not think so, but internally I think you must be, if you were able to let go like that, regardless of who was watching. "like, my body was crying for me and there was no stopping it" - I feel this sometimes when I read stuff I've written about periods in my life when I was... well, bad, emotionally and spiritually bankrupt. Or when I really get into deep connections with the feelings of how desperate and fearful I was of living at times in my past. I will simply be driving or sharing with someone and my body starts crying, throat swells, tears well. It's compassion for myself and a PURE feeling of gratitude that just takes over. Regardless of the forum, World... what's that? It all start at home! Be the change!! My guess is you made others there realize the same thing in their hearts!! Oh wow.

Just. Made. Me. Cry. I have spent the last year wrestling with the passion I have for my environmental non-profit career and the things I wish I wasn't giving up to have it - like financial security and proximity to my loved ones. I'm teasing my way through it, heading back to school for a grad degree and daily reading job postings looking for a way to recreate balance. I'm still sitting in the middle of it but trying with all my heart not to get stuck there. Thanks for sharing that I'm not the only one. Shanti You. Just. Made. Me. Cry.

It is four years since that day. I believe it is one of the (few) "rightest" decisions of my career. Nice post. Nice message. I hope many listen - and heed it.
