You want to change jobs? Start a blog? Write, dance, exercise, sing or play more? Make wine videos to educate the masses? Skills are cheap…and overrated. You probably have all the skills you need already. So face those obstacles and fears head-on and MAKE room for what you really care about in your life. Know that it won’t always be easy, nor is it supposed to be. Get out there anyway. Step fully into what you want and crush it. We’re waiting for you.

It’s official. I have a move-in date for my new home!
Matt and I will be moving into our new apartment near Lenox on April 17, and I couldn’t be more excited.
My commute should be immensely better. I’ll get to see my boyfriend every day. I won’t have to pack up and travel most weekends. And I’ll get to use my stemless wine glasses again.
The amount of time I save from my commute should add up to at least an extra hour every day. And that’s a big deal when I only have about two hours of time to get things done, aside from my day job.
In that time, other than relaxing, I have some projects I want to start working on that I think will be helpful in the long-term. Some include beginning to expand Thrifty Threads, starting a new blog about recycling/environmentalism and trying to do good in the world as an average (somewhat poor) person (I know this sounds boring, but I’m going to try to make it entertaining.), and looking for other outlets to put my skills to use.
My intentions are to gain experience in this realm so that, someday, I can genuinely work for myself.
As far as moving, I’m very eager to decorate the new apartment. I’m still trying to decide on colors, and I probably won’t completely make any decisions until after the move, but it’s still fun to plan.
It’s all very exciting, and I find myself a lot happier than I used to be. I’m sure the beautiful spring weather doesn’t hurt any, either.
