You can do it!

When exposed to new experiences, do you you take a leap, dip your toes first or hold back? Every day you will be given an experience to try something new, even when you don't notice it. Life has a funny way about giving you a chance to grow. Whether you are in a job you hate, a career you worked hard for or jobless and trying hard, there's always room to be more than you think you are capable of.

No one develops on the same pace. So if you feel like new experiences haven't come your way, or you just feel to stuck to take advantage of options, try little steps. You can make things happen and they can be great. The point is to know you can, or will, make your life whatever you want it to be. You don't have to win every hand, you just need to be willing to make the hand you're dealt more than a fold.

You can do it!

Feeling Crafty- Go Wholesale

After turning into a candle making lover I have learned that the good stuff (and less expensive) always comes from wholesale companies. Places like your hobby stores will sell cute stuff and usually they are beginner proof, but if you really want to get into good quality with lesser prices- go wholesale.
No matter what craft you choose, your prices will vary and even Wal-Mart can't provide you great quality in a bag. If you don't mind spending the money and really only want to do something as a once in awhile hobby, be my guest. But if you are serious about getting into it, check out your websites and craft magazines. Also, go to the library and catch up on some reading. I promise, the over all outcome will be well worth the effort and time you put into it.
Besides, if you are really serious about it- you won't need instant gratification twisting your arm out of the better options out there.
Good luck crafting!

Multiple Me

 While I would like to say I am a good multi-tasker- I have a hard time balancing out every part of me. Some people have that talent and do it very gracefully. But I struggle with doing everything I want to do because I want to be all of who I am, all the time. My mother always said that when I do something, I do it big. I guess that never really changes with me wanting to be a great wife, a successful student, a candle maker, an author and everything in between... Oh and to top that off with an 8-5 job Monday through Friday. Yep, I see an extremely chaotic multiple me just wish for a way to slow myself down and accept that I can be everything all at once.

Marketing at it's finest

Considering the many days that I have read and tried out, you'd think I'd have some  form of understanding in the marketing world. But it seems I have just hit the tip of the iceberg... SOO... here's to trying out Facebook, Twitter, and now blogging. May all my marketing attempts finally pull off one day. Maybe I will find me someone who wants to help me market for free until I actually start making money! ;P
Have a good evening yall!
