Proud

Last Sunday I went to my studio. (The Boudoir Vixen) I wanted to be there alone… no clients and no staff. I sat down in one of the rooms and didn’t move for several minutes. I took a deep breath and looked around. I soaked in every inch of it. I thought of how far it has come in the two years I’ve had it. I thought about how much work, money and time I have given it. I started to tear up with an overwhelming sense of pride. Sometimes I still can’t believe it. All I have accomplished on my own and everything that I have made happen for myself. I feel so proud of myself. By no means have I “arrived” or anything remotely close to it. But what I have accomplished in just a few years has made me so damn proud. The best part about it is that I did it all on my own. No financial help from parents, banks or friends. I just saved my money, worked my butt off and made it happen. And that makes it all worth it so much more. It’s so much more precious and beautiful because I didn’t give up. I believed in myself and I did it. If I can do this, I can do anything! I still have so many dreams, so many goals, so many ideas, so many things to make happen. But one step at a time, I will get there.

I’m going places. I’m going to make my dreams come true. I’m going to keep working hard, never stopping. No matter what comes my way, I will never give up. There is so much life to live. So many things to see, do and accomplish.

I love my little studio and I am so proud of myself. If I can do this, you can do anything.

The best is yet to come.
