Someone asked me recently if I had plans to start a business. Funny thing is that while the answer to that question is actually no, it seems I have started one. I've gotten my Tax I.D. number and the Reseller's Permit required in my state. I have a logo. I have begun to purchase supplies wholesale. I have a web presence. Weird.
All this started simply because I believe every human being has the innate ability to create. My personal study over the last decade and the research of others more knowing than I support that belief. My original plan was to simply honor my journey by providing tools for people to nurture their personal creativity. To honor my journey by sharing the path I used to get where I am right now. And, voila! A business was born before I realized what had happened.
And strangely, God (or the Universe or whatever name you use) has been supportive. The other week while wandering the Farmer's Market, I had a conversation with a woman who creates wonderful journals from old childrens' book covers. She asked if I would have a use for some cut matte that a photographer had given her. As that is what I use as the base for my journal covers, I was thrilled. I was, however, shocked when I picked it up the following week. A heavy box of perfectly-sized, pre-cut matte board enough board for 144 journals! SCORE!
Synchronicity? Oh, yeah. I think I'm on the right path. And the journey continues.
