Taking That First Step

19 Jan

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. - Ella Fitzgerald

This quote is SO perfect for the new year... What do you love to do that you have put on the back burner? Well, it's time to do it! Have you wanted to start a hobby? Start a business? Get in shape? Take time for yourself? Eat healthier? Stop smoking? Etc??? Well, now is the time to take the first step. I committed to do some big things this year. You'll see some changes and additions in the upcoming months (and no, I don't mean having a baby!) I mean with my site and blog... That's my big thing for the year. Oh, and getting in shape, too. But I'll be doing those simultaneously. The point is to take that first step. My first step is going public with my intentions. (You all have a way of keeping me in line!) Just think of what you do, and take one small step forward. I've got my note, "What one thing can I do TODAY to move me closer to my dream?" I read it daily and most of the time, take action. I have off days. Ok, a lot of off days! But I go right back to it. And that's the important too. Take time for reflection to see what you really want deep down and then just get started!

Go Angie! Go Angie! WOOHOO! You just call on me girlfriend. I’ll motivate you to kick the website into gear. (And kick your butt into gear to get in shape if you want.)

And, as usual, your message is timely. I interviewed for an office computer position yesterday and was having a hard time deciding whether or not I should take it. I think I’m going to let it pass because it interferes with the development of my dream. A lot of my friends don’t understand and they think I’m being irresponsible.

Thank you for being there, for understanding, and for the reminder! My dreams are the most important.

Thanks, KC! I’m glad you are fired up. Yeah, if anybody can kick my butt, it’s you. (that’s a compliment!)

You should know deep down if the position is right for you. You can be grateful for the opportunity but it doesn’t mean you have to take it. The right job may be right around the corner. One that gives you the flexibility to pursue your dream. Just keep food on the table in the meantime, sister!

You’re welcome… for everything!

Doh! I just officially turned down the job. I asked them if we could negotiate hours and they said no. So… I’m sticking with my dream!!! Bring on the website work. (You and anybody else!)
