The Sign....

So off I set on this new adventure.  Although I have been cake decorating for about 15 years now, it has been off and on. Birthday cakes for my kids, friends, family with no monetary reward just in the name of  creative expression.  But now I'm in my thirties and I start analyzing my life... Do I LOVE what I do everyday? Do I wake up feeling I am living out my purpose? I prayed on this and asked God to give me a sign. If I was destined to be a teacher, which is a very rewarding career, then to fill me with passion for it but if cakes is what I should persue then to give me a sign.  That's when everything starting falling into place.

The book... A friend tagged a page on FB about cakes days after that prayer, as I entered it I noticed they had a contest to win a book " Starting a cake decorating business from home". Originally printed and sold in the UK, an American version was now available.  Needless to say that I didn't win the book but I quickly found it and purchased it on amazon.  As I read the book, more things starting coming together, more and more signs that I needed to pursue this passion. 

I came to the realization that I had never really tried to make a business out of it, but that now with all the technology available and ways to market my self and obviously with the guidance of God that nothing is impossible!    I had the talent and the craft all I needed was the discipline.  So here I am with my goals set and this dream set in motion to be able to do this full time after this school year ends in June 2013 and make enough to provide for my family as I have been all these years.

 

  So stay tuned and see how I, along with His help, make my dream of  having my own lil cake biz come true not only so that I may be fulfilled but to give back and inspire others to do the same! NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS, NO MATTER WHAT! It's never too late!!
