Changing tides.

With the changing tides, come new days, fresh sand, and little treasures. But overall, things remain the same. It's only after years that the rocks and surrounding beaches show any differences. I feel like the way I live my life is the same. I am always in a crazy circle, fighting with my inner self. Trying to be more creative, trying to be more organized, always trying to do more for everyone. Somehow that is changing, and I think I like it!

This change has been knocking at the backdoor of my brain for months now but I have been ignoring it. It's like there is a little voice in my head saying "You don't need do that, you don't have to be that way." I keep thinking it's just a phase, or I am overworked or tired....But the more I step back, the more I simplify, the more I LIKE IT!

I decided last week that I was going to make some huge changes in my life. It meant cleaning out 15years of love and creativity and starting fresh. I have made space for a tiny part of my former life to remain, and the rest will all be cleaned out, painted over and started over. I will no longer be the person who has every little piece of fabric you could need, I will no longer have 19 colors of glitter (that part makes me a little sad) and I will no longer have 500 buttons. As a sat in my craft room tonight, I wondered if I this was another phase I was going though, hormones, or maybe even a mid-life crisis....I still wonder if I am making the right decision. I will be taking the leap of faith, and turning my craft room into a commercial kitchen. I will be able to make my cool cakes for stores and restaurants, cover more events, get into weddings, and try to make a little something out of my crafty ways to support our little family. It's a big step, and once I commit there is no turning back. I like to think I am ready. I will no longer be pushing and pulling myself in a million different directions. I will have one clear path, a real career.

I know it looks like I am taking on another project, and I am. But at the same time, trimming everything else.   I will have more time with my kids, more focus with my booty camp girls (who I love and would never trade in, not for all the diamonds in the world!), and less STUFF!!

I am scared and unsure of what this will bring, but my mom always taught me that if you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything. And I believe that's true.


Always remember where you came from, never look back, and keep your eyes on the road ahead.

Thank you for your support. Much love. <3
