I just wanted to offer a quick welcome to anyone who finds their way over here from my guest post over at Michelle’s blog. I’m super glad you’re here, and I hope you enjoy your visit and find something to stick with you.
For my current readers, please go take a gander at my post there about leaving graduate school, and poke around Michelle’s blog a bit. She’s the When I Grow Up Coach, and she’s full of inspiration, fun, hard insights and conversation.
In any case, I thought it might nice to give share a few links that give a sense of who I am and what this blog is about.
The source of the chicken photo in the upper right. Learning about chickens on a farm. You can read more by clicking the “that time we bought a hog” tag.
I invite friends (and occasionally near-strangers) over for dinner all the time. It turns out, though, I’ll let you cook in my kitchen if you write a guest post about the experience. Bonus points for hilarity.
This blog started as a place I was challenging myself to cook 2500 recipes from our cookbooks, so I’ve posted some recipes I’ve tried and what I think of them. It’s nowhere near 2500. There’s not even 10% of that up here. It’s amazing, though, how much even cooking a few things repeatedly, and new things from time to time can really teach a person to cook.
Final link for today: I recently posted a little bit on gardening and self-sufficiency and how it relates to life philosophies. It’s also the source of the photo in the upper right, and it’s one of my favorites.
Hi Natasha, wandered over from Michelle’s blog. Thanks for sharing your decision and what you’ve taken from it. I made the decision to leave my program after 4 years. It was/is hard, but I did end up in a career that supports a lot of my interests and passions. Your point about there always being parts that you miss is a great reminder. Good luck with what comes next!
Hi Erin! Thanks for coming by. I hope you enjoy it here.
I’m so glad to hear you found a career that supports your passions & interests. It’s wonderful for you & encouraging for me! And congratulations on being brave enough to leave – that can be hard too.
