My bud Michelle Stimpson reminded me earlier this week that today is a big anniversary for me {that’s what friends are for, right?}. I was so busy focusing on what’s coming up that I almost forgot to look back! Four years ago today, I threw my own Independence Day party {on 7/7/07} to celebrate my freedom as a self-employed entrepreneur. Hard to believe it’s been four years since I left my comfy corporate gig to spread my wings! It was scary, for sure, but it also felt like a dream come true.
Still, I never dreamed of the amazing things that would transpire in the coming years. At the time, I merely hoped I’d be able to attract and retain enough clients who needed creative copy writing and consulting. I knew my soul was malnourished and my creativity needed a jump start. But I had no idea what was in store. Four years ago, I hadn’t even thought about finding the courage to have a second child – and yet I was pregnant mere months later. Back then, I never dreamed I’d also give birth to an art career. I didn’t foresee how much I’d adore inspiring women as a speaker and teacher. I had no idea that such amazing friends – both near and far – were just around the corner, waiting to be found. Yet here I am.
And there you are! To celebrate these four fabulous years of freedom, I’m giving away FOUR gift certificates to my Etsy shop – each worth $25. Wooooooot! I hope you win!!
