Pick something & stick with it!

I'm one of those people who is always thinking they could do "this" or do "that".

Here's the thing, I get antsy after 6 months at a job. (How many jobs have I had since graduating college? Nearly in the double digits!)

Maybe it's because I still haven't found that perfect Job. Or is that even a real thing? Or maybe I have a bad case of job ADD. Or maybe it's because I have such a mutable personality that I crave to "be", or mutate, into something new.

Not sure which one it is, but lately I've been "craving" to start my own handmade home goods shop where I'd feature hand printed items created by no other than myself. I have even created an Etsy shop for it & hope to one day use this blog as a tool for promotion & networking of it.

Or maybe I should start freelance writing again?

Or...I've always loved working with herbs, so wonder what I could do with that?

Oh, and I'm also quite fond of & good at organizing, so maybe I could be a organizational consultant?

Well, you get the point..

An Unseasonably Warm Winter Means...

That I'm already thinking about what this year's garden should be like.

Shall we grow some lettuces in pots?

Shall we have a yard full of red juicy tomatoes? Radishes? How about our herbs?

It's so exciting to think about what will make up our menus and what will fill our tummies this spring & summer.

A Friend Told Me...

That I am creative.

A couple of weeks ago my two besties came over to my place to hang out, chat & visit my new baby daughter.

Our conversation strayed to my friend's dream of opening her own bakery.  As our chatter grew in excitement, we talked about how each of us could play a part, listing off our strengths that would come in handy. When it came to my turn, there was a brief silence.

"And Amber is..."

"Adaptable? A quick learner?" I suggested.

"Amber is creative," one said.

And that was my moment of joy.

My friends' moment of struggle to find a strength of mine, turned into one the best compliments and ego boosters that I've in a good, long while.
