    This speaks to my heart. It’s never too late to change directions. In fact, we can always change our directions. And our callings have never changed. Keep it up! I’m so excited to see what happen next. 🙂 XO

  2. It sounds as though you have made the exact right decision, for all the right reasons … and you’ve shared some wisdom while doing so. Thank you, Natalie

    You’ve known this for so long.. I’m so happy for you that you’ve taken the step into the unknown. At United 2014 you told me I wouldn’t be doing photography in 2-3 years… that you saw something completely different for me. That was true and it turns out, a message for you too, not just me. Your intuition is powerful, your compassion is unconditional and unlimited. Your bravery and vulnerability online send very deep + powerful messages. I’m proud of you Natalie. Remember that you don’t have to do it all though. You are allowed to carve space for yourself, too. Love you

    Your definition of success should be yours and yours alone. It shouldn’t hinge on fickle measurements of material worth—it should stem from deep within your heart, build up from your core values, and guide you towards a life and legacy that you’re proud of.

    These words. Feel this so deep! Keep going and know that you’re going to do just fine wherever you go and whatever you do!

    Thank you for this terrific post!
    Yes, your impact in the world shouldn’t be measured by likes and followers. It’s easy to lose your perspective on being a real, genuine human being! Just took a 10 day break from social media. What a difference it made in my perspective on family, work and creating the right balance.

    SO SO SO proud of you love. Keep doing you. Hugs from the east coast!

  7. Nat, you’ve always been a huge inspiration to me, and you continue to be! I wish you so much success and love in your future! I cannot wait to see where you are headed! God is doing amazing things in your life!

    xo, Amanda

    Amazing story! It really brings it home that anyone can achieve their goals if you keep at it an it’s ok to change direction and focus as long as that motivation and goal are still there. This story of Your journey has Really inspired and motivated Me to keep at it during my current time of hitting a brick wall, trying to bring in clients.
    Thank you so much for sharing this with us and good luck on your new journey.

    I found this post via Pinterest and I’m glad I did. After getting a BA and an MS, I still didn’t know what I wanted to do in life, but now, at 26, I’ve awakened to my professional dream of becoming a jeweler with my own designs and store someday. This post made me feel understood and less alone. I’m going to be saving some paragraphs that spoke to me in my journal to keep my spirits up on my own journey. Thank you for sharing! I wish you nothing but blessings towards your future.
