Ok, so I've searched on here for advise regarding this exact topic. Since I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, I thought I would start a thread. I know several of my cluster members are on here and won't be completely shocked by this statement. I've been completely torn over the past several months as to what to do, how to do it, etc and hope some of you can offer help. I don't have a unique situation by any means (work full-time, PC, Girl Scout leader for both of my girls, etc.) I've been been extremely successful and absolutely love PC and never thought I would ever dream of giving it up, but things have changed. I've been sick and on so many meds since last June (wore me down even more than I was), marital troubles and my little girls miss me being around (when I'm not at shows) I'm making phone calls, sending invites, preparing for my show, etc. It's brought me to the decision that something has to give. None of the other things can go away, so I guess it has to be PC. (I have tried cutting back on shows, doing more catty shows, encouraging hosts to send invites, etc, but it's still not enough). I have awesome customers and hosts and feel as I'm letting them down by leaving them. How do I go about this? I've been pushing off for months now because people keep calling and emailing me for shows and I'm too chicken to say anything then another month goes by. Do I send it out via newsletter? Please help. (BTW, I'm crying as typing this because I know what I'm giving up, but my health and family needs to come first) Thanks
