I remember when I first started my business 2.5 years ago.  I signed up for my business email account.    I remember it very clearly… getting my business license, trying to convince myself I could do this.

It was not until last summer, about this time, that I really started to get email.  That is a year and a half that I spent just anxiously waiting on an email or two here and there.   I remember the first time I looked at the clock and realized I had been answering emails for over an hour. There was a sense of accomplishment and pride.  People actually want to talk to me?   Work with me?   Learn from me?   Such a crazy and awesome moment.

The fun part is I still get super excited every time I get email, each inquiry is like a gift, wrapped up in a little box full of suspense and excitement.   I know that might sound silly, but it is true.

This has been my first week as a full time business owner.  I just can’t believe it.   Yesterday I worked 6 hours, went to yoga AND for a run, had lots of quality family time.   I just couldn’t believe it.   My day was exactly the way I had been envisioning for so long.  The Dream.   I had time to exercise without sacrificing something huge???  Such new and amazing concept.

I have been trying to figure out how I can put my emotions out there with out sounding full of myself or too empowered for my own good.   But I do feel empowered, and I think thats why my run yesterday was the best in a LONG time.

I share these emotions with the world, not to brag about my new life.   I’m far from perfect.  And that is exactly my point… I’m just a normal person, not perfect, life is as messy as my house.   But I did this amazing thing.  This amazing thing that I want to share with the world and help other women feel like they can do it too.   It is really that simple.   I just want to be a voice for those of you who might need it right now.

So if you have been dreaming about that new email account, or maybe you already have one, and you feel like the inbox is empty all the time.   Just stick with it.   I promise it is worth all the waiting, all the failures, all the fears.   Regardless of how much money I ever make, or if I ever become big (whatever that means)… The amazing thing has already happened and is happening…..I’m living this life of passion and dream chasing.    And it is pretty damn awesome.

Happiness is a choice my friend, 

Live Happy
