I'm a semi-crazy, 40-something "livin the dream" in a small northern Michigan town. I recently up and quit my well paying full-time job to pursue the things I love. Yes, people think I have gone over the edge, but I finally realized that living my dreams is more important than being a cog in a corporate wheel.
