Follow your heart

Corny as the headline may read, there is a kernel of truth to such a statement as Meg Hourihan, the co-founder of Pyra (the company that invented Blogger) has found by retiring from technology to become a chef on Nantucket.

This past May, when I decided to go on sabbatical I wrote that I needed a break because: I had no perspective on anything, I was so deep into my world of weblogs and tech that I didn't have much sense of what was going on outside of my geek circles... I've been burning my candle at both ends for years now, and decided it was time to stop. Emotionally I was drained. Physically I was drained...I've learned a lot this summer during my sabbatical but it all can be summarized in three words: follow your heart.
