A new life begins

My grannie always told me, "If a door closes in your life, don't cry or you won't be able to see the other one that is opening right there in front of you." I loved my Grannie, she was always so kind and so smart. What she told me has proven true so many times in my life.

Recently I have chosen to close the door to my school bus driving career. It is with a heavy heart that I make this decision but I feel it is the right one for me. For days, I have gone back and forth...should I go back to the school bus? should I travel another path. My friend, Kathy, told me,"If you are going to close that door, DO IT NOW and get thru that other door before it closes!" So, here I go thru the other door! No more tears!

I am amazed at the sense of freedom that has come with this decision. I am amazed at how my creative block has started to melt and evaporate. I am starting to feel my imagination beginning to develope again without all of the struggles that I have felt these past few years. My entrepreneurial spirit has kicked in again! Praise the Lord! Isn't it amazing that it is the little things set us free, like a simple decision.

I will be posting here about the travels in my new life. My top priority will be about the building blocks to making a soap business work. Selling soap is a very competitive business with marketing being the key ingredient. I will be posting about my sewing business. Aprons and totebags are at the top of my creative sewing list this week. Before September and before the Halloween rush, you will see capes on my site. I will be starting a new blog about this adventure, so stay tuned.

so...off I go with trememdous freedom and enthusiasm into my new life.
