It must have heart

Not that long ago, like this last winter I was trying to put myself into this box of having an online business that I loved doing and well actually paid the bills. I took online business school, which was amazing, I created online courses, and videos etc. nothing seemed to stick. You’d think after having 7 self-published books I could figure this online thing out.

I need a business that fits into the Alaska farm homespun lifestyle I have. It is also extremely crucial that I can be creative, active and inspired. This means any business I create needs to have a lot of heart, happiness, be able to serve others and at the same time bring me in a nice income.  

My son’s passing away was another thing that was incredibly challenging and left me with trying to figure out how to live a life without him here AND creating a business.

This summer being my 3 summer without my son I’ve come realize I also need a way to keep my son’s memory alive and to nurture my love for him. The love doesn’t stop just because he isn’t here. And this is where my dahlia’s come into play. I’ve grown them on and off for 20 years. Last summer was my first summer selling them and becoming an actual flower farmer. I had it in my mind the dahlias is what I’ll do in the summer and some kind of online business in the winter.

Then one day talking with a friend she said why can’t I do the dahlias as my only business. I resisted at first. This still amazes me. I’m actually pinching myself; everything I’ve always wanted in a business and in life is all right here! The dahlia’s light my fire in every way. They get my creative juices flowing; they keep me active with their care, inspire me every day and keep the love between my son and I alive and well! And OH, did I mention the dahlias share the vibrancy of life to others? Talk about having heart♥

Here is what one lady on Facebook had to say… “Your flowers are so beautiful! They brighten my day”.

GAH, I’m in total LOVE and creating an income!

I hope your life is filled with all that you want and desire, but most of all full of LOVE!
