Growing Up

[bertine]

Stuff is going on in my life that I haven't written about. I'll get around to it but until I do, I have a couple questions to ask you:

What do you want to with your life? What are you doing to get to make that happen?

WANT:
I want to be a self-employed small business owner in a(n at least) moderately successful, lovely to be in tea and eclectic-ness shop.

TO GET:
I'm running a fundraiser at RocketHub (http://www.rockethub.com/projects/113-moving-through-the-looking-glass) right now to try and get the funding to move my mildly moderatly successful, lovely to be in tea and eclectic-ness shop into a new, much better location, thus allowing me to do LOTS more cool stuff, remain open (and viable), and do more excellent events. This = more lovely to be in and more eclectic-ness, thus more business and more success!

I'm pretty sure you know the insane internal struggles I had even admitting I WANTED this in the first place. Nearly two years in I'm a MUCH more sane person and so much happier. The problems of normal life haven't gone away (and in some cases they are exacerbated by my choice...like the fact that being a small business owner means I take NO salary...NONE...which is hard on Lance and can make me feel SUPER guilty) but being on a path that I have chosen and that I love DOES matter and it makes everything else more cope-able.

I will add, too, that I don't know what you have going in your mind but amazing things can DEFINITELY happen if you don't let fear (and the big success killer: NOT ASKING FOR WHAT YOU WANT) keep you from trying.

Also, you are SO kick ass that I feel certain that if you set your sights on something it's really just a matter of time. Can't wait to hear what's cookin!
