Do you have a dream?  If you do- do not, I repeat DO NOT give up just because you’ve taken a turn that was unexpected. Dreams are full of work and surprises and turns around every corner though sometimes telling our emotions that is a whole other story!

Since moving to Hawaii from Oregon, several times I’ve caught myself thinking maybe I should throw in the towel on my boutique simply because I felt as if I was having to start over, and you know how that goes, aaaall those doubts!  Be VERY careful what thoughts you entertain. Thoughts turn into words,...

Yesterday it was a curled hair & fresh makeup selfie.  Today it’s hubbys shirt, leftover makeup & bags under my eyes like a hobo just getting by in life. 

If I wanted to, I could just stick to that first selfie. I could smile through my tired eyes and make everyone believe that I feel vibrant and happy and victorious every minute of every day. I won't though. I want to be the reason someone else looks up and thinks "If this hot mess can follow her dreams and fall all over herself and get back up and smile and still admit she doesn't have it all together, then I can too!" 

I'm a Mama of four which in and of itself is a million 'jobs' all rolled into one.  If you are a Mama of any # of children, you know exactly what I mean!  On any given day and at any given minute, I can switch roles from caregiver to teacher to counselor to maid to doctor.  In a nutshell, my life is ran by four bosses and I'm deeply in love with this gig.  I wouldn't have it any other way!  I am married to my best friend and together, our lives are FULL.  So why in the world did I add: 'Free Girl Boutique Owner' to the mix?  Well...to put it lightly- it's because I had it in me; and it wasn't going away!
