Not that she's awful or anything.. but I'll get to that in a minute.
It is hard to believe that it has been over nine months since I started my "self-improvement journey" A year is coming up faster than I could have ever realized. And I am sincerely happy. I am often so busy on the weekends that I have to make difficult choices on who to go out with. And I look good in clothes again. I killed the muffin top!
I am also on an insane kick to get off the last few unsightly pounds because Nathan and I are going to Kauai in December. We are really excited to go because other than visiting family, or a weekend at San Francisco, we have never had a vacation. No honeymoon either.
It seems I am about to complete my goal.
Soo... what now? The hardest part about achieving your goal is not having a goal anymore. Well, I can't have that.
I have decided to set a new, loftier goal. I am not waiting until I complete my first goal either. I am gonna dive in now.
I have decided that I want to be the new Martha Stewart. You know, if Martha were a cool gal with colorful hair and no assistants to do the work for her. Oh and a husband... and a non-yuppie sense of style. Oh, and the most important thing... I like a bargain. I don't think Martha likes sales.
Why would I dare tread these waters? Because, I know I can do it. I get consistent comments from everyone the instant they walk into my house. From the color of my walls to all the DIY projects I have around. And those are just the things I implement! I got a million more where those came from.
Besides, I need a more entertaining income. I can sell things, sure, but I have such a knack for doing a multitde of different things all at once, and never doing them a couple times, with a few exceptions. It seriously is a hindrance for me to work like a factory recreating identical, or very similar items, and I think I have a great "marketplace" of ideas in my head to pass along for others to have inspiration.
This is where you guys come in. I need your help.
I need you to tell me what you want to see from me. I am accepting any and all ideas to make sure I am providing what people want to read and see. Pass me along to your friends (blog me!), and let them weigh in as well. The more minds, the better. I also need you to start clicking the ads on my blog. Your little clicks will help me get the money I need to advertise and get the ball rolling faster.
So, over the next couple of weeks, I will be overhauling House of Devign and restructuring COMPLETELY to better suit my readers needs. So, don't freak out if things get all weird, or disappear. I am looking to make things a ton more user-friendly.
Just remember, I need you to help me make my dream a reality. Click ads, tell your friends, blog me, tweet me. I am accepting every idea to help me kick off this grand scheme, and no idea is too absurd. Okay, there might be a few absurd ideas, just try to keep it clean!
I NEED YOU!
