mcm

So, at 5 pm you become a full time voice artiste, n'est ce pas?

How exciting!!

It's actually 20 July as I type this, not the 19th!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I can't believe you remembered!! I can't even tell you how much your message means to me.... that's just so nice of you! Wow!

Yup, my laptop is packed up, and I'm getting ready to go to Staples to ship it back to NYC. I'm all done. It was weird, I had a really hard time shutting down my laptop... my lifeline to NY. The past couple of days have been really emotional... I'm not good with goodbyes... it's been kinda sad. I had been with NYL for 9 years... that's the longest I'd been in any one place in my life.

BUT, this is the start of a new chapter in my life, and I'm excited!!! It's funny... some of my co-workers said, "So, what are you going to do next week?".... I replied, "WORK!!" Yeesh, did they think I was going to sit around eating bon bons all day? Smile

I might catch a few rays by the pool (just b/c I can!), but I really have a lot to do... I'm going to start smiling and dialing my local tv/radio/production houses, and then work my way to the rest of FL. Also getting my CDs/artwork professionally duped, and when those are back, the mailing campaign (to those agents who require CD by mail) will begin!! LOTS to be done!!!!

THANK YOU for remembering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caryn,

The very best to you on your new venture. And, just think, 10 years from now, after you've been successfully working as a voiceover professional, you can say that wasn't the longest you stuck with any one occupation. Smile

Whatever you do, Caryn, don't take vacation!

Buona fortuna, congratulations, and up and away you go!

Caryn,

I've watched a number of friends ride the same emotional roller coaster you're on during their last few days in the trenches. They've all gone on to have successful, fulfilling VO careers. It might be comforting to know that none of them were as well prepared for the change as you are (you certainly seem to have thought this through quite well). And it's safe to say that none of them were as talented.

You'll do great! The anxiety (and the excitement) is normal. Embrace them and enjoy the ride!

As always, if there's anything I can help you with, just ask.

Caryn,
Good luck. I admire you for taking such a big step.

I find it quite appropriate that you take that step today. For it was 38 years ago on this day that Neil Armstrong took the first steps on the moon. For you this date will be just as important.

Caryn, you are at the bottom of the ladder. You are going to step off the (LeM) now...

Caryn,

I had not planned the full-time jump- it happened in the blink of an eye. I was standing up for my beliefs and walked away from a job I had spent my entire adult life doing. I haven't looked back with regret even once.

It took 2 weeks for me to get over the 'not having to be somewhere doing something at a certain time' thing...and to let go of the past.

Now, it's all about your future! There is no reason to be sad, only happy and proud. In fact, I had dinner the other night with my former radio co-host...we are still dearest friends! You will keep your same friends, and add a ton of new ones to the list.

...and if you ever need anything...I'm an e-mail and a phone call away...being full-time from home is THE BEST!

Congratulations!

All the best to you, Caryn! I'm contemplating a similar jump myself, but that's a story for another thread...

I would wish you the best of luck, but I rather think that you have made your OWN luck.

Enjoy looking in the mirror and seeing the boss look back!

Caryn,

Congratulations on taking this amazing step along the path of your dreams. I hope someday soon to join you along that path.

Here are some words of wisdom about following your dreams from people far wiser than myself. I wish you the greatest possible success at this most exciting time in your life.
