Take a day off if you can and get a little bit of inspiration

What would it be like if you were already truly living your dream life and succeeding in your dream career or business? I know I think about this everyday and imagine what and how life would be like if I was already there. Why not take a moment or a day to experience your dream life. For me the first thing would be to figure out what I would actually be doing if I could and then how much time and money would I need. Maybe I don't even need to do something that requires any money at all! I think this is a great idea and could potentially motivate myself or maybe even others to go forth with their dreams. By doing this, it could help you to overcome fears, learn, approach potential clients and to think more positively and to motivate you when you know the reason you are working so hard for.

If you're not able to spend a whole day living your dream life, whether it be financial or personal reasons then perhaps a inspiration board may be what you need to keep yourself motivated.  Recently, I've been introduced to Pinterest, which is a virtual pinboard that lets you organize and share your inspirations found on the internet.  Great alternative to keeping yourself inspired.  However, you will need an invitation to be able to use the service.  If you're not able to get invited to Pinterest, you can always create a visual board that you can put up somewhere you can see it everyday.  Think of when you were a kid and you posted all your fabulous creations on the refrigerator! 

So go ahead and get inspired!

Updates

I haven't been blogging that much lately because I've been doing a lot of researching and trying to figure out what I truly want to do.  I've also been thinking of updating my about me page to better suit what I will be doing.  Last month I had goals of writing a business plan, doing a few upcycling projects but then I got sidetracked.  Actually, I got a little frustrated with sewing and needed to take a step back.  I'm not giving up on it completely but it's been pushed to the background.  In the meantime, I' ve been thinking of other things that interest me and I could make a living from.  I'm also helping my hubby with his bail bonds job to get it going.

So for this month I am going to really make a push to put out relevant  information that others can use.  I also want to learn more about writing ebooks and seeing if I can be any good at that.  August will be more of a path of self discovery I'm hoping!

Knowing When It's Time To Move On

I've been trying to master sewing lately and I enjoy it, most of the time.  I get easily frustrated when the thread or needle breaks then I have to take time to fix it.  Part of the reason is that I have so little time I can devote to it but I wonder if I'm just forcing myself to love it, is it truly my dream job?  During college, I did enjoy it for the most part but didn't quite have the patience for it.  I figured it was just because I was new at it and didn't know exactly what I was doing.  Now is it because I don't have time for it or maybe I just don't love it.  I really love the creative process of sewing but I don't know if I love it and can devote all my time to it.  I'm not saying I'm giving up on it completely, I would still love to master sewing so that I can do little repair jobs or hemming at home.  It would be so easy for someone to tell me to give it up but when will I truly know it's time to move on and find what I am destined for.

Scentsy No More

Although I loved the products and wanted to do well with Scentsy, I just came to a decision that it just wasn't for me.  Another factor was money, I wasn't able to put into it what I needed to and still support our personal needs and my dreams.  I had hoped it would be a great way to make a little extra money.  I wasn't a 100% into and didn't have the drive to really push it.  Now I need to focus more on what I truly want to do and through my blog writing and research I truly believe I will accomplish that.

Aloha and Mahalo to my Followers!

Just wanted to send a quick shout out to thank my followers! I will try to keep it fun and interesting as I learn my way through discovering my dreams.  We're in this boat together!

My future with Scentsy

I started as a Scentsy Consultant back in March and I love the products and the company.  However, I find myself in the midst of a decision.  Majority of the consultants find success with doing the parties, I decided that I didn't want to go that route.  I've told numerous friends, co-workers and posted on Facebook my Scentsy business.  I realized that I haven't marketing myself properly, but it's been a difficult task on a tight budget, that could be the reason for my slow sales start.  I may have to focus my energies and resources to another endeavor, one that I can truly put in a 100% effort. 

Walking the neighborhood.

Yesterday, myself, Scott & Tanis all went for a nice long walk in our neighborhood. I'm trying to establish some sort of routine for Tanis and going for walks daily is one. It also is helping me to get fit and try to lose some of the weight that I've gained after baby and have been too lazy to lose...Each day I go a different route so that he doesn't get bored, but he seems to just chill out and enjoy the ride. Anytime I see something interesting I point it out, but he was in such a zone out phase he was not interested.
