“A river cuts through rock not because of its power, but because of its persistence”

Putting yourself out there can be scary but also liberating. I have for many years now, wanted to somehow, some way be able to decorate and style homes (for a living.) I know it’s where my passion is. Its weight sits in my gut like a big thick cheeseburger that I just polished off at a BBQ along with all the usual picnic fixins’. It won’t go away. I keep coming back to it. These fears…what will the people I know think? Am I good enough? Will people understand my ideas and visions? Can I actually make any money doing this? There is a fire within me that has been slightly ignited for years but I just never really pursued it fully. From decorating my dollhouse as a child, to racing home to watch HGTV in high school, it has always been there. I cannot really say for sure why I didn’t pursue a college degree in interior design. I can say I was afraid of student loan debt. So, I go to community college and earn two Associates degrees in non-related fields, get married have two beautiful babies that are a little more self-sufficient now. That leads me to the here and now and this fire is ready to blaze in 2022. For too many years I have only added small sticks to my fire. I’m ready to begin adding logs.
