Good for you!!

Sounds like it was a really tough decision for you to make, but you have to do what is going to fulfil you AND keep you above the poverty line!

Good luck in finding a new job.

If you're prepared to relocate and forgo the make up artist part, please...have mine. I don't think I want it anymore!
