| | Every time I make the mistake of believing that life can't get any better than it already is, God creatively finds new ways to surprise me. In just three months time, things have changed in ways I never thought possible. A good example: I'm currently sitting at Starbucks writing my business plan for the craft business I'm going to open with my mom! How surreal is that?! I never thought I would have the courage to take such a risk, not only financially but also creatively.
Every realistic reason/excuse I could think of had prevented me in the past from even entertaining such an idea. But here I am in the beginning stages of this wondrous journey! I wake up excited to get my day started! I can hardly sleep at night because my mind is running wild with plans and ideas for the next day! It's both astoundingly perplexing and fantastically ironic. I spent most of my teenage and adult years searching for my purpose and passion in life... never realizing it was right in front of me all along!
As a child, I grew up watching my mom being in her element as she expressed herself through sewing, stitching, clay figures, drawings... etc. I used to love turning the pages of one of her many art books and taking a deep breath of that distinct sweet scent that only art materials have. I admired her greatly for finding an outlet for her imagination to take a tangible form. Along the way I must have taken a subconscious note because I slowly began to realize I felt the most free while I was making something with my own hands. Whether it be a school craft project, writing, baking, coloring or whatever else. I often became so engrossed in the project that I lost all sense of time and .. myself. Truly one of the best feelings in this world 
There is indeed a lot of work to be done, classes to be taken and practice time to dedicate before I get to the stage I want to be at. But I now fully understand that honestly nothing I dream of is impossible. Really, anything can happen as long as I keep moving forward by taking things one step at a time, one day at a time, one moment at a time.
 [one love]
