We have now officially stepped away from C9.

About two weeks ago, Ragen and Pace and I had many conversations regarding the present and future of Cloud Nine Staffing, and mutually decided it was best to go separate ways. We worked out an amicable separation, and finished the hand-off this afternoon.

We have now officially stepped away from Cloud Nine.

The primary reason that motivated me in this decision is simple: I realized that, if Ragen came to me now in my current situation and asked me to be her business partner, I would turn her down. I am not capable of being a full-time mother for an unschooler and a full-time business owner and maintain sanity. Additionally, C9 is in a place where it really needs two full-time people able to work hard and focus, and while I was certainly devoted to the success of the business and believed in the mission, I am unwilling to put my work before my kid or my Pace.

I am sad to step down. I really loved C9 and really believed in what we were doing, and I will miss being part of such an awesome company. Toward the end things got a little rough, which makes me all the more sure that this is the right path for all of us, but all in all, it was an excellent year.

I do, however, feel that this was by far the best thing for me and my son and wife. I’m also looking forward to a long, healing vacation – after which Pace and I will start something new and amazing together.
