My Hopes for S&I

So, maybe this post is a little bit more for me than for you, but I thought I'd share my hopes for Simple & Inspired and it's readers.I've been blogging for several years now, but never really put 100% into it. My blog turned into an online diary - a place to keep all of my memories. I documented the summer I was laid off from my first job, my move back to Virginia, our engagement, our wedding, my pregnancy, and Finn's birth story. I am so glad I made the decision to write these things down, because I've already re-read these passages countless times. Along the way, my blog has gathered a following, and I've always wondered who really cares about my daily life?In the meantime, I have followed several blogs pretty religiously over the past two years. Although we've never met, I have watched these women get engaged, plan their own wedding, get pregnant, have babies, move into new houses - all the while making a living solely from blogging. Every time I open their blogs, I get green with envy because that's what I want to do!Somewhere along the way I asked myself, "why can't I?" Many of my family members are business owners and entrepreneurs. I have the tools, the education, the know-how, and the drive to make blogging my full-time job, I just need to hunker down and do it.I'm realistic that this venture may take some time, but there's no time like right now to get started towards my goal. I have a wonderful career that I enjoy, and I'm fortunate for that. However, I want to have more babies, and I want to watch them grow up. I want to coach soccer teams and go on field trips and take long vacations. I want to be my own boss where I don't have to worry about daycare and missing out on watching my babies grow up. I know I can do it, so I'm starting now.Are you an entrepreneur or "girl boss"? What drives you every day? How long did it take you to get where you are going?
