Birthday Month
Two years ago, I wrote a “birthday month” newsletter, Sun sign Leo and all that. I’m doing it again! Happy birthday to me and to all other lucky people who have their stars in Leo.
2024 has been my year to fight procrastination. It’s been a battle, but I played a trick on myself. I got other people involved. I shared my dream, goal, wild idea with others. And guess what, they were immediately on board! It’s great to have that kind of support. Thank you, Lucas, Katey, and Lizbet, for helping me make “About Fundraising: The Podcast” a reality.
My other resolution for this year was to have a website for my artwork. I love the work of creating. But there is another part to creating and that is sharing. I’ve given family and friends many things that I’ve made, and I keep making more. So, to get my work out to a broader audience, I needed a website and an Instagram page and all that. So, again, I let other people in to help me. My website should be up and running on Shopify this month.
I’m sharing my “behind the scenes” story as an example for you, the reader to ask yourself what is it that you want to accomplish? Professionally? Personally? Do you have a wild and crazy idea? Do you want to teach yoga in Jamaica? There are ways to make that happen.
Do you want to write a book or start a business or live in Spain? What is stopping you from taking that first step toward making that happen?
No time? No money? Too many obligations? Believe me, I’ve been stopped by all of those and more. I’ve encouraged others to “follow your dreams” “don’t let anything or anyone stop you.” And I’ve let other people and circumstances stop me for decades.
I can’t make up for lost time, because that time was not lost, it was just delegated to something or someone else, and that’s okay. Now it’s time for me. I have a friend who sold her house, her car and most of her other possessions. She’s moving to Mexico. Why not? What is it that you want from this lifetime? What’s stopping you? It’s not too late. Take that first step out of your comfort bubble.
