Goals and Mistakes

As I've stated before, quite recently, over the last few years I haven't done much with my life. I serve God the best way I know how, I've had health problem after health problem, and I'm learning how to be healthier as I am on a weight loss journey and as I learn how to live gluten free because I'm Celiac. 4 years ago this past October I started making and selling jewelry. I love it, though it doesn't pay the bills. I began to craft and because of that I've gotten into re-purposing different things, whether it be materials or tea cups or other things like that. I started making my own toiletry items, and making jelly. I cook more than I used to, and have taken up mentoring teens.

This year though I wanted to start doing something different. I've been working on a book idea for about 2 years now, and this year I want to actually finish it. in 2013 and 2014 I was introduced to some amazing authors of YA books. Then last year one of my good friends that I've known since high school wrote and published her own book. I've got some other people in my life that have done that as well so that is my 2015 goal for myself.

I would also like to finally get a job and move. What I want for my life is a major change, a GOOD one, one that has nothing to do with my health and everything to do with my life no longer being at a standstill. I've always been proactive in trying to get a job (as much as one with ACC can be) or even with finishing my writings but something has always stopped both of those things. This is the year that I will overcome these obstacles. I'm hoping and praying that learning that I'm Celiac and following the gluten free life style will help the overcoming happen.

That being said I want this blog to be an inspiration to others. I never want to be the person to hold back.

My father used to tell me all the time to keep my eyes open and learn from my own experiences but also to learn from others experiences. He would tell me "Life is too short to make all the mistakes out there by yourself. Learn from the mistakes others make, then make your own and share them with others so they can learn from yours." That is how I live my life, it's a valuable piece of advice he gave me and I want to pass it along to you.

Unmistakably yours,
