There are times when I come to a wall,

and it looks so incredibly tall.

I don’t know if I should get up and climb.

I don’t know if I should tap out this time.

I feel in my heart a strong current.

One that overcomes any kind of deterrent.

Snags and troubles in my way,

will not make my resolve sway.

And that is all that I needed to say.

P/S

This took an incredibly long time to write. I felt I was doing a high school English class exercise. What I am really talking about is starting the business. Currently contending with our County Circuit Court, the VA Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and our Homeowners Association has me going a bit bonkers. Paperwork, inspections, fees, and a ton of unknowns are swirling in my brain as I try to fall asleep. I’ve been tossing around the notion of starting a home-business for years, but this time is different. There is something else going on here. Or rather someone greater than us all who, I feel, wants me to go down this path. Whether I actually end up in business or not isn’t the point. I think the path traveled is the point. Living life to it’s fullest is the point. And making my way through my time here on earth with soul, courage, and intent is the point.

I intend to write a bit more about my journey here on the blog so others out there who want to start their own business at home can benefit from my experience. I wish there was a simple guide out there with the 411 and a complete “how to.” But there isn’t. Maybe someone should put one together!
