Frida Kahlo once wrote in a diary “All the things that lack in my life are filled with work, it’s a wonderful thing”

dsc026041When I read that in the diary it made me feel so related … I am not so well these days but I try so hard to ignore it and fill that gap with work and reading, I think is the best way to go , not letting feelings take over me but try to control them and move on.

Making life changing decisions and pushing evey second a little more

Well hello again, oh how I miss to write in my blog everyday, back when I was an office worker I wrote every morning.

These days I hardly touch the computer, but I am about to do something a bit crazy , a bit risky or just what I had to do as some say.

When I first quit my job, the idea was for me to have time, time to make jewelry, to be happy, to go for walks, to visit my grandma, get a part time job take it easy just go live day by day.

But then I found myself feeling better than ever, just thinking how good it is to be home and decided to now go back to working for anybody and just do my own thing.

Risky and well I wont be receiving a paycheck at the end of the month, and now I have to do jewelry for selling which means more pieces, repeat some and so on.

I did this experiment for a month and so far it’s been ok, I paid my bills,I’ve managed to not starve myself and well I’m at it.

Thinking and thinking about the future what all of this will bring, I talk to people that have online business and work from home and they do great, but agree that it’s definitely harder to push yourself to work when you are home..

This is just the beginning of my story, of my story as a self employed person , of someone doing what they love the most, my life is surrounded by jewelry my every thought is crazy but i feel really complete sitting down to make something new.

Most of my things I sell them here in my country and I am living out of this but I want to take it further so I will give more attention to the site ( www.nataliaraya.etsy.com )

The plan is to work at least 8 hours daily advertising, making things anything, is a one person deal so I pretty much do it all :D

Pretty soon I’m moving to a larger house so I can get my workshop in place and maybe even a show room, I will get internet there so I can write and post things everyday I got plans and plans and got a law that whatever idea i have I will do immediately i can just to push myself to go one step up every single day.

This all is pretty much my dream coming true little by little :D

I need a new place,with wine in the fridge and no roomates, unless bald..

If I could get one like this would be the best choice hahaha! I can dreamm..

I’m looking for a house with room but I think it’s so annoying to move specially over the years more and more things come my way , so it’s more things to move around a bigger truck.. and fixing things up..

I think privacy is one of the most important things, walk around in whatever clothes if you want clothes.. put any music on, any scent on.. don’t wash the dishes until tomorrow if you want, have wine in the fridge and candles everywere..a house reflects taste. 

One thing is for sure no roomates, I’ve had so many problems with people , one in particular who did a lot of noise with his girlfriend.. (not worth mentioning details)

I like peace and calm and cooking, and no people using my jewellery or conditioner!!! hahaha…!

So yes the search begins.. I won’t move unless I find something flawless. My last place the living room wall was a mirror all the way to the roof so not as I am a vanity freak but for dancing and yoga was like having a studio home..

I’m very positive with the changes this year!
