My goodness, I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I posted. I kind of went a wee bit overboard but in a good way…I think. What started with a free online class, turned into two months of attending almost daily classes and oh my gosh I think it lit a spark inside me! Once again, it feels like the universe has been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for me to find and follow.

But first, a little background. In 5 months my amazing son will be turning 18. I knew this day would come but I had no idea how much it would pull at my heart strings. My son is my world and I’ve been thinking about what I will do to occupy my time when <gulp> he moves out. I know just because he turns 18, doesn’t mean he’ll be moving out the day after his 18th birthday, but I hear the ticking now. The countdown clock that I’ve dreaded since he was born. The idea of him moving out someday is now staring me down and I’m feeling all the emotions. Even though I know when he moves out, I will still see him, he won’t be here – in our house – where he randomly pops in to say hello while I’m working and totally makes my day. He’ll be out in the world and I will be cheering him on from afar. Just as these thoughts started to creep into my mind, a friend of mine mentioned it might be a good idea for me to start finding some hobbies, if I didn’t already have some. It’s crazy, but in the last 17 years, I’ve been so focused on raising my son I kind of lost touch with things I enjoy doing.

Almost immediately after having that thought, I found a master class taught by a woman on how to become an entrepreneur. I don’t know if I was more surprised that this interested me or that I actually thought it might be something I could do. After the first few nights, I heard a faint whisper of an idea. As I continued with the classes, the whisper started to get louder and I finally decided to hear it out. Then for 6 weeks, I spent every free minute I had taking classes and starting to develop my idea. Cut to tonight and I am excited to share I am going all in with my idea! I still have a lot of work to do but hopefully I will be able to share some details soon. Until then…think clutter + happy hour : )
