"I am grateful for transparency. Nothing is embarrassing if it's real." --Aya Kanai I have never been so poor in my life. There, I said it. That's humbling to reveal, but it's important to me that you know the truth and the truth is I am struggling, too. I took a risk; I left an unsatisfying job that earned me a very healthy living to find work that moved me; a job that used my innate gifts, challenged me to grow and learn and, ideally, paid me well.
