since the start of the new year, i’ve been dreaming up (and getting ready to put into action) some exciting changes for my blog (and my life). but before we delve into those…full disclosure – my ultimate goal is to make a full time living from my blog. i love, more than anything, to share my lifestyle ideas and recommendations, and i’ve finally come to realize (or maybe, finally come to accept) it’s my true calling. it keeps me up at night thinking. makes my stomach leap with excitement. has me jotting notes and ideas down non-stop. and energizes me in a way that few other things can. lucky for me, i’ve already begun to build the foundation, and thanks to you, my mini mavens, i’ve received invaluable support and feedback.

so, what catalyst has me so gung-ho to pursue my dreams and live my passion? i read a fantastic book in early january called crush it! by gary vaynerchuk. it’s all about building your brand with social media, and it got my wheels turning…full force. i started thinking about all the potential ways to grow my blog and expand my brand, and i’m psyched. for the first time in my life, i feel totally on track, inspired, focused and ready. like everything’s been leading up to this point. i’ve been on a precipice, waiting for my parachute, and i’m finally ready to jump. i realize now, i don’t need a parachute…i’ll grow wings instead.
