Quote that gets me by

Hey there, I just wanted to say thank you for being an inspiration to some people, such as myself, that have wanted to do the same thing-but don't have the guts to.

There is a quote that I always lean on when I start to get negative thoughts about certain things and it is:
"Most people die with the music still in them". I believe the author is...someone that I can't remember at the moment...:( Anywho...I believe you are living for the moment and planning for the future. There is nothing wrong with that. My parents, are exhaustingly realistic. Whenever, I want to do something-such as start my own massage biz, they have always told me it won't work. I usually do it anyway-because I have to find out for myself.

It is frustrating, but now I expect this kind of response from them. I think of it as they are giving me the worst case scenario and I go from there. It actually makes me feel more positive now.

It sounds like they just love you so much and they don't want you to fail. They don't want you to suffer and it's their way of protecting you...making you safe. Feeling safe doesn't always make you happy though.

I really wish you luck, I've talked to many women that have worked throughout their children's lives and they regret the fact that they had to work. They missed out on a lot. You have that choice though and I think it's wonderful.

Good Luck!
