Last year a good friend of mine asked me to work on a project with him and without thinking I said yes, because I knew it was something that would challenge me and make me better as a professional. But as time went on, I found myself stalling and making excuses ,which isn't really my style. Once I truly examined myself, I realized I didn't WANT to work on this project. I wanted to concentrate on my family. But I didn't want to let my friend down. I did a lot of soul searching before I finally came to the decision to back out. I called him and told him I was breaking up with him, but "it's not you, it's me!" He laughed and said he understood. I freed him up to find a partner more willing and able to take his project where it needs to go. I hope that someday I will be able to do something like it, but I feel much better, and a LOT less guilty, now that I admitted the truth to myself.

I am so glad you resolved what you really want to do. For all that I encouraged you to persue the dream, it was entirely contingent on the second question I asked - "What IS your dream?" Personally I think you are following the best dream of all! I am jealous. Good for you! I am so glad you resolved what you really want to do.
