I've been dreaming about the same things for a very long time. And I've finally decided that this is the year. The year to stopped simply dreaming and to start pursuing those dreams. I want to be able to be home with my kids. Maybe not all the time, but a lot more. And more money wouldn't hurt at all. I'm barely making enough to pay the bills right now.... let alone any extra.
I believe that we have this one life on earth to live and we should enjoy it. It can't be all about work, even though some of it has to be. My goal for this year is to begin using my talents and doing the things I love to do, the desires God has placed on my heart, and to use these to pursue an income. I want to start my own business, for now in addition to what I'm already doing for employment, but with the "someday" hope that I can make it into a full time thing.
So I'm working on this blog more often. I'm shining up my etsy page ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/BricABracShoppe) in preparation to begin listing items to sell. And I'm making things to list. I'm organizing my craft room, my house, my finances, my paperwork, my life - so that I can stop this constantly feeling overwhelmed thing (I'm sick of it) and start really living. I want to enjoy my kids while they're still kids. I want to travel. I want to be able to financially support the people and organizations I love. I want to develop my creativity - to see what I am really capable of.
I don't know if this is even reasonable to hope for, but then dreams are necessarily supposed to be reasonable are they?
