Empty Wallet & Happy Heart


I'm closer! I'm closer to opening my online shop!! I just bought a very cool printer and scanner to make high quality archival prints of my originals. Can it really be exciting to be waiting for 2 pieces of machinery to be delivered to my front door? YES! ABSOLUTELY!! I was wavering a little & Rick said 'You have to have the right tools to do your job'. What a great hubby!
This is a giant leap of faith and commitment for me. My fears are starting to creep back up and grab at my throat. I drew a line in the sand & crossed it----I'm in all the way. It's really energizing to push my boundaries farther than I thought I could. I don't feel like I'm in limbo anymore waiting to see where we will move...if I should go back to teaching...
I can work on a creative business from wherever I am! My new job/career has begun.......................YIKES!!
