Because I have made “some” money.
But oh, I haven’t made a lot of money.
“Some” money is nice to pay for art supplies and a relief to have in those moments when an extra 20 or 40 is really needed (like now, actually) but it isn’t steady and it isn’t dependable.
Maybe I should make a different goal, here. Or maybe I should change it.
make a living while managing to stay at home with my kids?
make a comfortable living while managing to stay at home with my kids?
Hmm. That actually sounds good.
Now should I just change this goal, or recognize my big accomplishment of becoming a micro business woman by marking it as done?

Sometimes it’s surprising, because he did have troubles learning to speak and even now has a hard time getting his words out… but… it’s amazing. His mind is always working. He thinks about things. He remembers things. He makes connections. He understands. I know that’s all just human stuff, but it’s wild to see how it happens, how kids are just SMART, and then they learn about the world and get smarter.

I don’t consciously do it. I don’t plan a brave thing or even make choices with this project in mind…
BUT
The choices that I make on a daily basis are influenced with the consciousness of this goal. And as a result, my world has widened, my art is out there, I have a growing following on my blog, I have sold my artwork for the first time to people who weren’t related to me and in fact have never met me, I have chosen to move out to California, I have taken opportunities that I would otherwise have hidden from.
If I am aware that I am avoiding something because I am afraid, I take steps to confront that thing. It’s kinda cool.
And, coincidentally, or perhaps not, the woman who started this project has actually become a blog friend of mine. We “get” each other. It’s funny.
And when I first stumbled across her project, I didn’t think that I was important enough to be a part of her circle. Hm. I now have my own internet circle. And I AM a part of her circle.
And there’s more coming.
