Five Women, Five Wake-Up Calls, Five Dreams Pursued

An attorney who tapped her childhood roots to incorporate more creativity.

A reporter who learned how to say “no thank you” and returned to school for a degree in social work.

A publicist who decided it was time to start taking risks in her life.

A food editor who was drawn to the field of acupuncture.

A Wall Street sales trader who realized she “needed” to be a yoga instructor.

While each is unique, these five stories contain the common thread of listening to what’s calling you and taking a risk to do something different.  It’s interesting, too, that the work involved with making these changes –going back to school or figuring out how to make the numbers work– didn’t dissuade them from taking action.  That’s what happens when the passion is strong enough and the work is meaningful.
