Normally this would be bad, but I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! And oh so peaceful about this adventure I have decided to go on. I feel the Lord has been preparing me for taking this big career step since I got to Tucson, He was just giving me the time to catch up with His plan. Also known as, waiting until my faith increased. Trusting in Him and trusting myself to know that everything will be fine. And everything will be fine.
You are thinking, what will I be doing now? Let me tell ya, it might be a run on sentence, so take a deep breath. I'll try and put some punctuation in there though. Ready. Go.
I'll still be doing hair. I'll just stick with doing it on the side and keeping my "at home" clientele right now, along with being an educator with Zotos still. It'll be nice because I'll be able to work hair, Zotos, a social life, fingers crossed: dating adventures, and church activities all around my school schedule. The fact that I won't have "set" job hours, will allow me to be able to be more flexible with my time. That in itself is worth it.
But no, that isn't the reason I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! Here is that reason...
For the last year or so I have really wanted to write a wedding planning book! Specifically targeted to the LDS reception style girls/guys who are sometimes on a tighter budget, but not to put myself out there for only one genre, I want to make a general "doing it on a dime" wedding planning book available too, just without the LDS style to it.
I'de felt a little overwhelmed with the idea though. I love that all the things that I really like to do and am relatively good at, can be used in weddings. So, since I have found a new addiction to looking at and surfing blogs... catering, floral arranging, photography, hair/make up stuff, and really, crafting in general, I have come to the conclusion that I will create a blog instead!
OK, so the being a little overwhelmed part was still biting at me yesterday, but... I prayed before I went to work that I would find peace for that fear. Or something would come to me, or that someone would come to mind that this whole crazy idea might appeal too. Ya know, someone who we could be blogging partners! Just so I don't have to do it all alone and I'll have someone I can bounce ideas off of. Alright, having someone else working with me, also helps me not to procrastinate, because I would be held "accountable" to do my part. It's a nice ability to be able to trick oneself to work better. I'm glad I know how. *wink*
What a blessing, prayers were answered and the amazing opportunity to work with someone has become available! I had an appointment to work on my friend Gina's (Tyler's wife) hair Saturday night after work and wouldn't you know it... the Spirit prompted me to talk to her about it! Let's just say, in the next few weeks, we're going to get together and come up with a business plan of sorts and a general idea of what we want to do. We both love to craft and have different background experiences that will make it that much better!
How cool is it to have the chance, with advertising and stuff, to get paid to craft and do the wedding planning stuff!?! And who knows... one day, we might be a hot enough blog, to get that book deal. hehe.
I'm thinking Temple Brides as the blog title, but am completely open to suggestions. Ya'll got any? *grin*
