CRAZY TIMES!
 
Learning to start your own business is a BIG SCARY DEAL!  Maybe I should have just flown out the door with a business card in my hand and naively went into the night!  I may have not been as freaked out as I am at this moment, but I’m sure I would not have a clue how to begin and would have quickly been discouraged.
 
I guess what’s freaking me out is the amount of stuff I don’t know that I thought I knew. With technology growing in leaps and bounds it’s hard to stay with it. Discovering you may be a “Jack of all Trades, Master of None!” is not a good start.
 
For example, here are just a few things on my “wish list” I would like to cover before I actually say I’m qualified to do what I’m in business for:
  1. Finish my online study course in Desktop Publishing & Design (oh, only 13 more modules to go!)
  2. Learn HTML5 & CSS3 to make websites
  3. Learn more about all the social media stuff (talk about Jack of all trades, master of none!)
  4. Work on my presentation to get accepted into the Self-employment course I want
  5. When I get in, (positive acknowledgement here) I have 7 weeks of hardcore classes
  6. I have to find a place to live by Sept 1st at the latest!
  7. Market Research is the bitch that I will become slave too
  8. Checking out suppliers and my competition (who are both by the way)!
  9. Info searching on the internet (more bitch work)
  10. ...and while I’m at it, try and lose some weight, which shouldn’t be too hard unless my computer knows how to make cookies!
So my friends, as you can tell, my “Crazy” is showing again!

Wings


When I was a little girl
I believed we all had wings
I would dream of flying
High upon the wind.

Our wings were invisible
And very small in size
But as we grew into ourselves
They would appear when we reached the skies.

But somewhere along the way
My wings became dark and singed
From all the times I touched the flames
Of some self-made hell I was in.

There seemed to be no hope
No dream to pull me out
I felt so very alone
No chance for turn-about.

I never intended
Or even meant to
Be the one
To disappoint You.

So when the heavens opened
And You spoke my name
You welcomed me anyway
And I went, without fear or shame.

Now in Your arms
I feel all the love
That when I was little
I always dreamed of.
