“Don’t downgrade your dream just to fit your reality.  Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny.”

If you’ve had an opportunity to check out the “about” page, I hope you can align this quote to what this page represents for me.  Often our passions feel like huge risks when it sits outside of our comfort zone.  Our lives are often the greatest weight and we know it means the adjustments that need to be made are where the real work is.  I’m a single mother running a home on a single income after just completing a degree a year prior.  My child is now 9 which makes it trickier to satisfy the needs of an almost pre-teen and that is already on top of the emotional needs of harboring a family.  The fear that I carry of something completely failing bears weight on me, however, it just means that conviction on me is what is going to allow me to achieve the future that I want for us.
