Question: I know you must love your job. A job as a hobby sounds delightful to me. Is there ever a time when you get sick of it, or want to stop? Or are you always up and at 'em? --submitted by Jenny McGee, August 27, 6:04 am
Answer: Honest to goodness, I have loved every second of my journey with Close To My Heart. I can't imagine stopping, ever! I don't feel I can call it a "job," because that's too mundane to reflect my passion. A job is something you quit or change. And I wouldn't call it a "career," because that sounds like it's a planned track focused on personal achievement. A career is something you put on a resume.
I really feel like my work with Close To My Heart is a calling - it's what I was put on earth to do. What began as a hobby has transformed into an abiding passion for products, people, and perseverance. This "journey" is a culmination of hard work, wonderful camaraderie, divine support, and sweat commingled with great joy. That probably sounds a little high falutin', but it reflects the way I feel. This isn't a job that I've taken, or a career that I've created, it is a path that I've walked, led by someone much greater than I. With such purpose, it's easy to "get up and at 'em" every single day!
