Have a go!

I'm excited today as I've just activated my new website! It's an idea I've had for ages and I just couldn't quite find the courage to give it a go. What if it's a stupid idea? What if it doesn't work? What if...? What if...? What if...? So I put the idea away and forgot about it for a couple of years. Now I've pulled it out and got it up and running and if it's a stupid idea and it doesn't work, it won't really matter because at least I've given it a go. And if this one doesn't work, then I'm one idea and one experiment closer to finding the thing that will.

This is a precious card made by my beautiful daughter when I finally finished my degree and graduated.

My goal is to be able to work from home and to be able to devote time to research and writing, and if I don't have to go out to work that somehow removes a lot of stress and I can use that energy in a better way for building the life I want. I love my teaching job, don't get me wrong. But I know that my ultimate dream is to work from home in a job that I can choose my hours to work and be free to travel a bit. So that is the impetus for making this bold move.

I love the mystery of language and treasure these cards from a friend in Finland.

 Gifts from family and the class where I did my internship and some very special hand-made ones.

Best of all, it's doing something that I love, and even if I only get one customer, I know I'll be making a positive difference for that one. It would be nice to get half a dozen as that would cover costs, haha, but it's not a must!! If it happens it happens. I am just happy being here and giving it a go.

I'm sharing some pictures of cards that have been important to me. What do you love about getting a card in the mail? Please share in the comments below.

I'd also be thrilled if you would go and have a look at my site Not An E Card and recommend it to anyone you think might be interested, or perhaps you would like to take advantage of what I am offering. Let me know what you think! Oh, I haven't put photos on the website yet but I will very soon!! Perhaps even this afternoon.

Thanks for having a cuppa with me...let's lift those cups and wish me well in this new venture...Cheers!!
