Hittin the Pavement WALKING.

13 weeks until the 3-day.  That's 90 days.  Got up with the team this morning (Maury and Donna were missing) and walked 4 miles! I am proud of myself.  I haven't walked that much in awhile.  6:00 am came really early, but I made it and I am proud :)

So I have officially decided to compete again.  I am REALLY REALLY excited.  My local pageant is in about two months.  I am working with two of the best people, who have an amazing track record of state winners this year.  I have always wanted to work with them, but it never worked out.  But now it's my turn! Preparations are in full swing and I am loving it.  

My bead business is really taking off.  I am selling and buying and taking orders and coming up with new and better ideas.  It's thrilling.  I love making money doing things that I enjoy.  I don't feel like I get to use the creative side of my brain in Nursing so this has become the perfect outlet.  

Things are really great right now.  My mom said to me the other day...

"We have to focus on the positive things in life, not the negative.  When we do this, everything else falls into place."

I am waking up on the positive side of life more these days.
