How I did it
It made me
accomplished 
How I did it: I went through and consolidated folders and got rid of duplicate files on my desktop, laptop and my external hard drive. Anything I didn't need for everyday use went on the external hard drive. I also deleted or uninstalled programs no longer in use. Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I started by giving my resume a major face lift. Then I went through and pretty much duplicated my resume on the website with more detail and added my design gallery with both pics and videos. I was careful to make sure that no matter what any one clicking on a link in my site will not end up leaving my site. I also had to be careful that all the pics I embedded directly where of a size and layout that would line up on t… Read how I did it…

How I did it: Rented a truck, packed up everything and moved. We did a lot of pre-packing so we wouldn't be rushed.

My grandfather spent most of his life waiting to die and he lived to be very old and very decrepit. I feel like I’m following in his footsteps. I’ve been told that it’s not that I want to die, it’s that I’m afraid to live. When I consider all the jobs and new experiences that I’ve turned down over the years, I have to think there is some truth to that. I feel like I’ve sabotaged ever opportunity that I’ve had because it would mean living. What I was most afraid of was living alone to a ripe old age, unable to care for myself. Yes, I have a wonderful husband but at the end of the day all I really have is myself. So my goal is really to be comfortable with me and everything that goes along with being me.
