Week four is here, how are you doing with saving?
I must say that I’m already done shopping! Ahead of schedule and under budget (can you tell I get a bit impatient) but here’s why.. it’s my writing area!
I’ve wanted one for years and didn’t pursuit it- ya know why? I would have actually had to acknowledge that I had been putting my dreams last. I would have had to make some real changes in the household dynamic, and honestly I don’t think I was ready.
I have my comfort zone, my zone is nice and safe, all the people in my zone know me, I know myself there. I know what my roll as a Wife, Mom, Mother in law and Grandma is, and to shake that up for me was scary and made me anxious. But, than a switch flipped. It really did. I felt suddenly empowered to take on a blog (WOW, was that a misguided power) suddenly I really didn’t care who approved- that’s not to say I don’t care what I post- I post with all my heart, and I throw in a dash of vulnerability, but I did myself a favor and put a post it note next to my desk with these two words “Personal blog.” That was it. Two words to keep it in perspective. I reminded myself that I was doing this for ME to fill my soul, and sure I want you to come along on the journey with me and find your passion~but if you choose not to, I understand that my pursuit of a passion filled life doesn’t cross over into your pursuit, and that’s ok.
…back to the challenge. It’s week four and I’m done. I wasn’t in need of the extra week to save more money as there is nothing else I need for my space. My old dresser has been moved and the old garden gate will have to await a new home~ I love my space.
I rounded out my purchases with a new mouse and mouse pad. I’m actually not a big fan of pink, but I wanted the writing area to shout that it was girlie and by that I mean mine– so I went with pink. I found a white fuzzy rug- a bit small but doable and I searched down a candle with a yummy scent.
So, here it is, home of “The last piece of pie” brings a tear to the eye! 💜
Where are you in this pursuit?
Have you figured it out yet?
What can you put one hundred dollars towards that will ignite your passion and push you to follow your dreams?
Till next time-
Erin
