In August 2009 I made a very big decision. That was to give up teaching after 28 years. I was petrified! "Teaching is what defines me" is what I said to my family and friends. But I went ahead and resigned with effect from 31st December 2009.
My husband had been encouraging me to retire for a while but I always had an excuse why I should stay for just one more year. Then something very sad...more of that later...happened in June 2009 and I realised that the time was right.
I have not regretted the choice I made and have set new and exciting goals. I have been able to travel to the Wild Coast (twice) and Mauritius since the start of 2010...something that would have been impossible when teaching.
My new lease on life is invigorating and this has coincided with an acceptance and love for myself. Look out world here I come!
