Just about a year has now passed since our lives totally changed course, since my husband disappeared. Many good things have happened this year, many good realizations about myself have happened. I've learned how much comfort my Father can supply when I draw close to Him. I've learned to be more compassionate to others because you never know what is really going on in their lives. I'm learning what it is like to really truly have a growing business that will supply the income you need. (Getting there! 7 for sure new clients... maybe 8) And most of all I've learned that life goes on and you can indeed make a better life for yourself if you don't focus on the 'what could have been's', the 'what I wish hadn't happened', and the 'life isn't fair, why did that happen?'. So this year the focus is on growing even more spiritually, helping my younger daughter through the bumps of this next year, being a new grandma (in April, older daughter) and continuing to grow my businesses. (I'm also starting an adult foster care placement business that will most likely tie in with my senior bookkeeping).
For those of you who really know me you know that I am NOT a real social person but all my new business has come from networking. So I'm learning to become more social! Who knows I may even try my hand at teaching some classes this next year!! That would be amazing but since I'm getting into the senior side of bookkeeping I can see where that might be a possibility and possibly bring in some extra income. Maybe even some classes about payroll... I've had some amazing help in getting over my fear of talking in groups where I know nobody, thank you Michelle Wirta!!!
For all who have helped us through this last year both spiritually and naturally THANK YOU!!!! I've got to say I'm looking forward to what this next year will bring! The different lives I'll have an opportunity to touch. I hope everybody has had a wonderful holiday weekend and my heart and prayers go out to those who are going through a year of their own 'firsts'.
