My husband and I spent the better part of the weekend working through the next phase and plans for Blue Happy Living. I love those moments when we talk, drive, dream and plan together. We started in one place and through the process of elimination we ended up on a totally different plan. This plan is bigger and more exciting than the other.
I realize that living my dream with Blue Happy Living is becoming a part of our everyday life. We often talk about the process of what is going on and how we can make it better and better. I love that my husband is such a smart business person. He is often giving me advice on how to run the business part of BHL. It really has become a family affair around here. My daughter is the one who makes all the magic happen with the blog. I write the blog and do the projects but she is the computer master that keeps it all up and running. Soon and very soon my Son will be a part of BHL, but that’s an undercover secret.
My point is we all have dreams and things that make us happy. It doesn’t have to be a blog and a growing business it can be what ever makes you happy. I have friends who want to write a book, some that want to start a business, some with dreams of completely flipping their careers and go back to school. What ever your dream until you take your last breath there is still time.
The new year is just around the corner. I’m not one to make a new year resolution. I think you put too much pressure on yourself by doing that. What I like to do is make a plan of action for what my hopes and dreams are for the new year. That is what you can do, take the time over the next few days to think about that one dream. The dream you want to see come true. Big or small what ever you want to do in life is worth making a plan for in the new year.
Blue Happy Living was and is my dream. A way to express myself through a creative outlet all the while sharing with others. It started out to be just a blog with an online store coming in spring of 2016. I’m so excited that BHL is moving into so much more than I ever imagined. I’ll share as soon as I can so hold on.
I have a friend that was a bit unhappy in her job. She loved cleaning and wanted to start a business doing that. She just got fed up one day quit her job. The next day her cleaning business was born. She is so busy with her new business. Don’t get me wrong she worked and still works her butt off to build it up. Please don’t think I’m telling you to quit your job or pack up and hit the road. Following through with a dream is planning, working all the while the rest of your life continues. Then there comes a point when your dream takes over. You will know it and then you will fly.
A new year is a time to start new. A fresh time in your life to make the old year fade and the new year shine. I’m moving forward with my dream for Blue Happy Living and working my plan to make it happen. I hope that you take the time to make a plan for your dreams in 2016 and make it a Blue Happy Year. We should all Do More Of What Makes Us Happy! What dream makes you happy?
By the way the plate in the feature photo is a real plate. The words “Do More Of What Makes You Happy” is printed on the plate. I found it at a small gift shop in Oklahoma. I’ll be using it to put all my many vitamins on in the morning. It will remind me to dream hard, be strong and fly each day.
