We’ve all been there: A former co-worker, a friend, or (in my case) a father-in-law who’s absolutely perplexed that you could make a living (GASP!) by being a self-employed writer, editor, graphic designer or other type of creative.

Love this! So true. I appreciate the link as well.
Very, very, very funny!
Thanks Susan — you’re one of my regular reads.
Glad I could give you a laugh, P.S. And thanks for the tweet, too

Thanks, Omar — couldn’t agree more about the folly of trading out happiness!
