A BIG DAY FOR ELP

And so, it is with all the pride, nervousness and confidence in the world that I share with you all that beginning on June 21, I will be devoting my efforts, my love and my attention to ELP full time. This was a long time coming and something that has been weighing heavily on my heart for months now. I'm leaving a terrific job as a fundraiser for a Women in Leadership program for the 9th largest University in the nation. But I'm leaving this job to pursue my OWN leadership and passions - something I spoke to spectacular women about daily. ELP has reached every goal I've set for it... and then some. I'm sure I'll write a more heartfelt post later - but for now. I'm so proud. Thank you so much for all of your love, your encouragement, your prayers and your support.

Congratulations Emily, I knew it wouldn't be long before you took the plunge and devoted yourself to the business on a full time basis. I've been there and made the leap myself, welcome to the world of self employment - your new journey starts soon!

Congratulations Emily! Wishing you all the best as you follow your dreams. I remember when I made the transition to working full-time for myself, it was a bit scary, but such a wonderful decision. You will do GREAT!!!!
