Bump in the road

This pic is a little note to my husband to say thank you for his never-ending love and support. (Oh, and it's from one of the newest inspiring websites I visit to look at some gorgeous unusual design The Fancy).

I'm trying to launch myself as a freelance writer, and it's very disappointing when things don't work out. And I'm trying to pick myself up and remember that it's just a bump in the road and that I have to persevere.

I've done the office thing, and I didn't love it. And the fact that I have a talent or skill that can be used on a work-at-home basis is really what motivates me. Don't get me wrong, a very large part of me wants to go back to being a journalist on a daily and work hard and have amazing opportunities and get front page bylines. But, I feel quite strongly about being around for my daughter and not leaving it up to someone else to look after her during these extremely formative years, but I'm not going to go on a rant now.

I know that lots of Mommies the world over are trying to make this happen, and that we have some catching up to do down here in SA. For those of you also giving some thought to becoming a WAHM (Work from home mom), have a look at Emily Ley's inspiring graphic and post.

Pick your passion. Create your own destiny.
