Hi everyone!
Like everyone I guess, I find that at the beginning of this new year I have taken the time to step back and reflect a bit. Or maybe it was my dear husband who sat me down and paraphrasing just a bit said, "Jen, YOU are Curiosity Cottage...not just the website or the booth, but YOU are the very essence of Curiosity Cottage. It is time for you to realize that and fulfill your dreams!!"
So though my new year has gotten off to a very busy & hectic start, I have come to the realization that it is time to stop and work on putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. I have had the vision for my own business for the past 25 years, but it was not until 2010 when the "right people, right place & right time" started to fall into place that I started to watch my vision become a reality.
Why now? What has led me to want to look at the big picture? Well first and foremost I think it is because God has blessed me with a Helpmate that believes in me and wants to see me put the puzzle together. Maybe he is just worn out from seeing the puzzle pieces scattered all over the kitchen counter - LOL!! Having this kind of unconditional love and support is priceless and a very valuable catalyst!!
I also think that God was winking at me with BOTH eyes when He led me to
Kim Yuhl! Her 8 week challenge for Blogging Your Story has been the road map that I needed!! It is not only helping me put the puzzle together, but I am also able to teach my students about these things in my Blog Creation Course. As a result I am also going to participate in her small business training
Secrets of Better Business because I am not only passionate about my own little Curiosity Cottage, I want to help others see that they too can take a dream/vision and turn it into a dynamite business!!
So join me in this journey as I clear off the card table and start to put the pieces together!! Yes, there is a lot of work ahead, but oh, will it not be EXCITING to see the puzzle when the pieces are all in place??!!!
