About two weeks ago I got the idea that I needed an Etsy shop. A lot of bloggers have little shops on Etsy
and I started thinking I should, too. I spent my free time on the Etsy website and researched
what was already being sold. I began collecting ideas and thinking about names.
Then last week I got a little
overwhelmed and I had to talk it out with my husband. I had forgotten motherhood
is a job. In the best way, it's a job. I don't need to fill my day or my resume
with anything else. I don’t need to have
anything else to show for my time.
But Ty won’t be a baby forever
(another reason to keep him as the only thing “on my plate”) so we also talked
about some other dreams and passions I have.
I want to write. I enjoy blogging. I’m involved in a new writers group here in
Charleston. (check it out Voices: Write to be Heard) And
maybe one day I will have my very own shop.
So I’m thankful I was reminded of
my true passion before I wandered down a road of distraction and missed out on any
opportunities to mother.
PS This post was inspired byJessi. After I read her post I realized
it wasn’t that I didn’t have time in my schedule but I was choosing to fill my
schedule with wife and mommy stuff. It’s
all about choosing.
