The time is drawing near...

...for me to exit stage left, walk away from the corporate life that has actually treated me very well, to shed the role I've held for others and take on the most important one for myself...

...for my daydreams to evolve from what I see on the back of my eyelids that make me smirk to the ones I can take pictures of and share with the world...

...for me to walk my walk based on my beliefs - the ones that have always given me what I've asked for even in the oddest of ways...

...for me to head west into the song I've often belted out loud:

WIDE OPEN SPACES by the Dixie Chicks
who doesn't know what i'm talking about
who's never left home, who's never struck out
to find a dream and a life of their own
a place in the clouds a foundation of stone
many precede and many will follow
a young girls dream no longer hollow
it takes the shape of a place out west
but what it holds for her she hasn't yet guessed

she needs wide open spaces
room to make her big mistakes
she needs new faces
she knows the higher stakes

she traveled this road as a child
wide eyed and grinning she never tired
but now she won't be coming back with the rest
if these are life's lessons, she'll take this test

she'll need wide open spaces
room to make her big mistakes
she needs new faces
she knows the higher stakes, she knows the higher stakes...
