She really deserves all the success that is coming to her, not only because she works so hard and stays so positive, but because she knows herself and is unafraid of naming and claiming what she wants in life. I really admire that a great deal. I do it too, but it’s always still such an interior battle with fear to make myself do what I want to do. I’m working on getting over this!

I have kinda always gone my own way and done my own thing but I was about 29 when I began to seriously follow my dreams. I’m 37 now and at the point where I know with confidence that this is what I do, because I’m now at a point where I feel able to share my dreams with others rather than secretly or silently pursuing them on my own or with just a few people knowing or being involved. It is definitely worth it but you must be prepared for the ire, contempt, and ridicule of others…or even just downright surprise. Sometimes other people have a low opinion of you or fixed ideas of what you are capable of, you just have to learn how to shrug off the naysayers and do your own thing. Make a plan and stick to it, know step-by-step what you need to do to bring your dreams to fruition. If you don’t know, find out. Use the library, Google, all the free resources out there to find out how to make a way. Then do it! You can do it!

“It was kind of scary; felt like learning to drive all over again.”

How I did it: Went out for a lesson with my husband, the same person who taught me to drive an automatic 12 years ago. He bought a stick shift car last year but it took me this long to work up my nerve to learn how to drive a stick. I’m really glad I learned how to drive a stick! It didn’t take long but I do need more practice.

Lessons & tips: First tip: relax. Then, ask whoever is teaching you how to drive a stick to go over each step one at a time. Make sure you understand what each step entails and how to do it. I didn’t even know what a clutch was nor the reasons why it’s necessary to switch gears. This surprised my husband but he was happy to explain it all.

It took me 1 day.

It made me Happy

Seriously, I should do a post on that. I’m so wrapped up in various projects, I have to fight myself to avoid sleep burnout. Sleep is most important! Otherwise I won’t be able to do a good job at work nor be able to focus on my creative work. My goal is to sleep 8 hours a night, that seems so hard to do! because after work I have to spend time with my family, then hit my creative work. Lately I’ve been getting 6-7 hours a night, which is really, really good for me.
