but for the first time in my life, i felt like I had a purpose.
i signed up for immersion, deep dived into it, then devoted my entire spare time working on patterns after patterns around my toddler's nap time and just, trusted the process.
I got an email about a surface design course from a friend. I remember thinking, "What on earth is that? "
in my late 30's, i had to close my etsy shop because it was no longer working out for me. desperate and depressed, one day...
I've worked with some big names like Target, RICE and Nordstrom and it's like living a dream.
My income is diversified and it doesn't have a limit.
I can work any where and any time I want.
i'm so grateful that I took the leap of faith. though the journey wasn't without challenges, i created a life far better than i've ever imagined. today...
I was determined to succeed. Up to that point, I felt like my life was a roller coaster of failure...
