I'm going through a crisis of faith, life, career, motherhood, you name it. I've tried to not be scared of failing. so far, as you can see from my lack of posts, I've failed in a pretty big way. I dream big. Unfortunately, my dreams are fleeting and the "big" ideas usually occur at night while I'm in bed. Inevitably, when I'm near a computer and ready to work, I notice the dust on the blinds, the food in the carpet, the dog that needs to be let out, the obstrusive red number that pops up next to my email icon letting me know some very important email has come in that I must check right away.
The truth is, I'm floundering. I know I have an amazing opportunity to take charge of my life and I'm not doing it. How many 46-year-olds have been given (almost) carte blanche to start over a career - have been encouraged by their husband to not pursue mindless administrative or retail jobs, to be an entrepreneur - make my own hours, pursue a hobby and change it into a career. However, the caveat that it must also make money is what scares me. Where do I sink my capital so that it will most likely pay back? How can I market myself so that my career turns the way I want it to? What are my passions?
Maybe I will explore it here. Maybe writing a little every day will help me stay on track and show my progress. Because I need progress.
