to dreams

I don't mean to be this detached from blogging and I don't make new year's resolutions. I believe that when I decide to do something, I'm just going to do it!

Over this past year...yes, it has been that long, I have been channeling any writing desire toward a different media, my book or in fancy terms, my memoir. I won't speak of it often because it's not something that will come about soon or even in the near future. I have even begged my husband to read it, but he wishes to wait as well so he can be surprised and take it in as any other reader would. You are all in it.

each.and.every.one.of.you. :)

I will adjust names, but not the truth in any sense. Well, now that's enough of that! Listening to Explosions in the Sky always gets me in the mood to write, to process thoughts and dreams as well. It's so funny because whenever I listen to their music I actually imagine words to the songs; I guess they leave room for the listener to be the creator.

Why I'm really here...

It's no huge secret that Chad and I want to have our own business one day and although we've narrowed it down to a pinch of options I have an itch of entrepreneurialism right now. A few years ago I tossed around the idea of becoming a stylist/wardrobe consultant, but just recently figured out my own individual style. I'll use the analogy of a relationship. You can't be with someone until you know and trust who you are, just as, you can't style someone until you have found your style and are confident in it. I do this often in life...I will think I'm ready for something and then realize a few years later, looking back, I probably wasn't ready for that step. Could this funny feeling be growing up? None the less, I'm ready now and I can confidently say so. Just as my friends so ravingly suggested I switch my major to fashion merchandising in college, they have become the backbone I needed in starting Simple Threads. I'm starting out small with a few clients, but a lot of heart :)
