Embarking on my own Adventure!

This last year has been such a strange one. I have been thinking so much over the last several months about helping Bryan to find and pursue his goals for his life and work that it has finally started seeping in that perhaps it is time for me to pursue mine.
I think at times, perhaps especially for Mom's who truly see the vast importance of Motherhood, guilt for taking time to do what you love overcomes your deepest desires.
I am learning that I can do what I love and still be everything my children need me to be. In fact, I am learning that if I put off doing what I love, I am more likely to put my children farther from my heart as well.
So I have discovered a way to follow my heart and help my family.
Step 1. I have become an affiliate for Sitesell. A company that helps you convert your passions, knowledge, and unique purpose into a successful and profitable e-business.
Step 2. I am exploring my hobbies, dreams and deepest desires to discover the best way I can create value for the world.
Step 3. With the help of SiteBuildIt! I will begin an e-business of my own to:
             a. fulfill a portion of my unique purpose in mortality
             b. supplement our family income
             c. have fun and be an example of faith to my children

Is it time to pursue your dreams?

Sigh...

It is probably not the best day to post....but it has been too long.

The past has been mostly boring with a few bright spots, ie. gorgeous spring weather, hostas in my front garden, lots of extended family gatherings, a lovely Independence day, and Bryan's brother Kevin coming to visit. Last weekend we spent in Nauvoo. It was Aliyah's first temple trip! Lovely.
The present is somewhat discouraging so....

I will tell you about the future.

Jake heads to Youth Conference tomorrow. He is going to have a great time.
Then Monday he leaves again for Scout camp. He has promised to focus on merit badges needed for his Eagle. Yay! What a good boy!

While he is gone the rest of us will spend our days in the pool in the back yard. Today was over 110 degrees!!

My sister, Sis, is coming to visit. Extra yay!!!

Gideon's birthday is coming next week and I just realized the Jake will miss it!

I am learning Biblical Hebrew. This is the one bright bright thing in my present so I thought I would share.
Of course my little ones are bright and wonderful too, especially Aria, who keeps getting more adorably fun by the day.
