on the horizon

I realize that my last blog may have been a tad melancholy and dramatic....No regrets though. Thank you to all my blog followers and friends who gave me their well wishes and words of wisdom and courage. You are the reason I bounce back from these moods so quickly! :-)

In my quest to keep myself thoroughly ensconced in all that is calm and bright, I have tried to surround myself with people who I admire and who make me feel...at peace. My circle of friends are a wild and wooly bunch who have a myriad of talents and skills. When searching for what I want to do in life, I often turn to them for advice and encouragement.

Lately, as I work on the revisions of my novel (I'm up to Chapter 5 and running) and work on my financial health (cough cough), I've come across the prospect of starting my own business. This comes from a slew of directions and inspirations, mostly that of friends embarking on their own business journeys (Shae in baking and Chris in a top secret web business) and from my hope in doing something that doesn't tie me down to one specific place, making me enough money to live comfortably and write my novels.

In the excitement of my idea stage, I did some serious research and am pleasantly surprised at what I found. My idea is definitely not new, but my take on it is....different. I can't go into detail quite yet, but know that I may have something here. And once I get this nailed down better in business plan form (you all know how much I love research and reports :::big smile::) I'll be looking to my friends and calling upon said talents and skills to help me make this dream a reality.

Look forward to me picking your brains....
