Starting the journey...

For so long I have lived in this little 1300 square foot home thinking, "someday we will move so I don't want to put more into this house than what I will get out of it." After 7 years of saying this, I think it is time to take action.

It has always been a dream of mine to be able to fix up my house to be something that I want it to be. That has all it has ever been, a dream. For some reason I have this huge fear of failure. I don't want to try because what if it doesn't turn out the way I planned? What if I pick up that tool and it doesn't work exactly like I think it should? What if I get this all together and I don't like the way it turns out? What if, what if, what if...........? Today that stops!

Today is the day. Today is the day I stop dreaming and start doing. Today is the day I find out what I can really do without worrying that I might fail. I think I have limited myself because of my fears and I don't want to be limited, not only because of me, but what am I teaching my children by not taking the first step. Today I am going to start trying, and I'm sure I will fail many times before things turn out the way I want them to, and that is okay.

I want to welcome you to join along with me as I try and make my mistakes, not only in my house but in my life. Join me as I make my house my hobby. Help me to put those ideas I have had for so long into action. Join with me also not only to make this house my hobby, but to make it MY home.
