Recently I got to teach a class on starting a home-based business. I was thrilled at the opportunity because I’ve been self-employed, working from home for the past 4 1/2 years. For 3 of those years my business has been my family’s sole income.
I had the opportunity to teach a bunch of women who are in a situation similar to mine–we have children and have made a commitment to being an at-home parent, but we want to help contribute to the welfare of our families.
I got a lot of good feedback from the class, but I think I came away from it more inspired and excited than anyone else. One of the things I tried to really emphasize was the need to broaden our horizons and seek out those talents we may not have yet explored or discovered. To that end, I’ve been trying my hand at some new things.
My recent kick has been clay–I started with miniature food, and have just begun making clay flowers, which I am going to use this tuesday during a class on how to make cute hair bows and barettes. I’m excited to learn!
