Welcome to my new feature I call "Skipping to the Shower!"

How do people who love their jobs get there? Just lucky? Sometimes. But usually, it is a combination of honest self-analysis, research and reflection, and a dogged determination to be "career happy"- really believing that they deserve nothing less. It is very, very hard work.

From time to time, I will let those who are self-described "shower-skippers" tell their stories in their own words in the hopes of inspiring you tofollow your dreams and educate you as to how some who have gotten there pulled it off.

If you'd like to share your story, send me an e-mail.
