Like so many people this time of year, I don't seem to have nearly enough time. It's tough to get all the mandatory things done by the deadline much less go after the pursuit of a dream.
It is no longer a secret that I have this wild dream of designing clothing and beautiful crochet pieces and selling them in my very own shop. To be honest, I had planned to already have that shop opened. And then school started and I realized how little time I actually had available. I have just two items completely ready to sell. This is far behind my goal of ten by the end of September.
So to keep me from discouragement, these are my two darling completions. I call them "The Mustard" and "The Grey." Creative I know. I want them here so I can look at them and know I am courageously swimming across the ocean to the reality of my dream on the other side even though for right now I'm really just alternating between the doggy paddle and a back float until I can press on full speed ahead.
And so it is that I will leave you with these very wise words. Never give up on what you love. Keep working toward it and when there isn't time, just do something little to keep your dream alive.
Love,
Great inspirational post =) I like your blog, follow each other ?

Girl I know how you feel. Sometimes I go through seasons of my life where my to-do or want-to-do-eventually list piles up and there is not enough hours in the day to even sleep! I loved that first quote about needing courage because sometimes all it takes is a kick in the butt from courage. I pray that you can find the courage (and TIME!) to open up your shop :-)
