A good colleague and friend of mine is also leaving the company I work for. They will be exiting in two days after an 18 year career. It’s really amazing to me to watch someone step completely out of their comfort zone into the unknown.

It takes a lot of courage and faith to do that. I know my friend is dealing with a myriad of emotions; fear, sadness, excitement, anticipation, wonder, anxiety and etc. But through all of these emotions, when asked, they know this is the right thing to do even though all the answers are not readily apparent at this time.

When someone follows their heart, the mind typically rebels. It defies logic and reason, but following the heart is, in my opinion, always the right thing to do. It took me about 40 years to figure that out, but what a ride it has been since.

I will support my friend in any way that I can to make this transition work. In my heart, I know they will be fine.
