The Bittersweet Truth I May Have To Live With OR I"ll be Retiring in Seven Years Unless I Hit the Lottery

In all my zeal to be retired in less than twenty-nine months, it's now obvious that it probably wont or cant or shouldn't happen.

So I AM NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL!

However I continue to hone my skills and hope.

I believe that my goal should be practical since that is how I was raised. But I don't believe my goal is impossible. I am forever the optimist. I know all that sounds crazy, but this is what I have to work with, (picture my father, rolling his eyes,,,,not saying a word.). Keyword=Crazy

Here's what I think I want: I want to be able to list items on http://www.adornablesbylynetsy.com/ that I have made with my own two hands and believe to be beautiful. I want to also list the enormous stock of silk flowers that I have. I want to make enough money to buy more beads and make more necklaces - support my habit. I have three blogs right now and have not attended to them well, however, I think they are my answer to marketing. Not the complete answer....I am not overly optimistic. Three blogs, two websites and the occasional craft show, until I get that out of my system, that's my goal. Maybe I'll retire early after all!

So here we go. A new direction to the niche. A new goal, a new direction. To the niche we go! Onward!
