Crafty??
Lately I'm obsessed with reading these blogs filled with crafts, home reno projects, and cupcakes. I find all of it so appealing... but alas... these types of things are not my strong points. I wish they were. I wish I had the patience to sew, or scrapbook, or edit amazing photos. I usually shy away from Relief Society craft projects... mostly because mine NEVER looks like the sample. NEVER!
But, I have come to the realization over the years that I have my own sense of "craftiness" or creativity. Having spent many years as a small business owner, I grew to LOVE small business. I love the science of it. I'm fascinated by it. I'm also fascinated with teaching... and helping others learn new strategies and concepts. I guess its okay if I don't know how to hang wallpaper... I know how to create an effective small business. I can walk into a business and within seconds tell you if it's working...or not.
I love that I can help people apply new concepts to their businesses (often at very little expense), and that those concepts can have far-reaching personal and finacial rewards. I love that I can help a small business owner who feels "stuck", get excited again about their business. I love that.
I believe we all have natural gifts and abilities. We are destined to create things. Even though I'm not so crafty- I love what I create!!
A great quote by Elder Uchtdorf...
"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty.
Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty—and I am not talking about the process of cleaning the rooms of your teenage children.
You might say, “I’m not the creative type. When I sing, I’m always half a tone above or below the note. I cannot draw a line without a ruler. And the only practical use for my homemade bread is as a paperweight or as a doorstop.”
If that is how you feel, think again, and remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe. Isn’t it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God?"
Let's take the talents we've been given and use them to create great things!

passion
So, I've been reading a book called The Success Principles, by Jack Canfield and I've really been thinking about finding a new passion for something. Since I sold my studio, I think it has taken me a while to find my new identity.
I had the opportunity recently to be a keynote speaker at a business event with TheBrideandGroom.com. I had a wonderful time at the event, and since that point I have been so thrilled to see the excitement that so many of the attendees have shown. They are truly excited about their businesses again, and this excitement will lead to growth.
I am continuing to work on a coaching program and seminars with TBG, but am also starting to work with small business owners from all industries on my own. I love seeing great things happen for people, and I look forward to working with many small business owners in the coming years.

Have a happy day!

The year in kiddos
Whew! This past year has been a busy one. Filled with many challenges, but also many great blessings. We were blessed to find a new home closer to Mark's work, sell my business, see Madison get baptised, and get the kids settled in a wonderful new school. These are my favorite photos of my kids from 2010. I am so grateful to be the mom to these four great people. They are all so good, smart, and funny! I just love them!! My hubby is pretty great too! :)
I am so looking forward to another great year!
