This post speaks to me in so many ways, almost like it could be written to us. We are currently in the middle of potentially losing our little business before it even begins, due to a series of crappy and highly unlikely circumstances that have managed to happen at the worst possible time. We are in the waiting game right now, and the state of our little family is completely in the air. Our entire future we had planned we stand to lose and the our entire direction will change if this falls through. It’s a scary place to be and I you described my thoughts of inadequacy better than I ever could. we also refer to ourselves as the “black sheep” and I think it’s those that go against the “norms” are the ones that make big things happen. Thank you for this tonight, I sure hope a year from now I am in a similar place as you are. If we aren’t, I know we will recover, but our lives will change drastically. It gives me hope to see that things can work out if you keep with it. <3

I often imagine that she and I are dear friends who shop for the perfect red lipstick together or collaborate on something genius using frog tape! I’m so glad you have such wonderful friends and family who are so supportive. I adore your blog. You are an incredibly talented writer and designer and your dogs have stolen my heart! You bring much needed color to my life, so thank you.
