Three year ago I was in fear of my stay home mom job coming to an end and wondered what I would do with myself. The prospect of being home alone with my husband was a bit terrifying. Now don't get me wrong, I love my husband of 26 years...but alone? Not real sure if I was up to that. What would we do? Birdhouses, the word search, maybe cards? No, I knew it was time for me to think of some of my dreams that had put on the back burner.
It has been a struggle and all I can tell people starting a business. Be prepared to nurse it like it is a new born for about three years. I just now am starting to feel like it can roll over and hold it's own bottle, but still need to be burped It is a roller coaster of emotions, trials and tears. Yet I do think I am starting to have less hard days and more enjoyable ones.
It is such a feeling of accomplishment to see orders come in and have such positive feed back from my customers. It is nice to be out of the constant worrying stages, walking the floors at night and stressing over making it work.
I don't know where this business will take me, but I am sure it will be great and wonderful. It is the first and tiny steps towards my Bed & Breakfast. I feel confident if you just push through the worst and continue when there seems to be no reason too, you will come out the other side stronger and better.
On the brink of our 3rd Birthday...I want to say Thank You to every person that has helped. believed and supported my little business.
Thank You
Drusilla Fife
