Mountain Top High

I had an amazing weekend experience at The Business Boutique conference in Ft Worth. I was inspired so much and my passion was ignited! My feelings were indescribable as I came home ready to launch my new business and prepare to give to orphans around the world. Literally ready to take on the world!

As always happens following these type of experiences, reality hits hard when you get home. My precious dog ate something indigestible while I was gone on my trip. (She does this often.) So amid my excitement and inability to stop my mind long enough to sleep, said dog has vomited throughout the night on my return. What a warm welcome home! 

So mingled with my excitement and determination to follow through on all that I learned this weekend, has been a lot of cleaning up dog vomit all over my house! (Insert a good amount of gagging and heaving.)


Surprisingly, in the middle of everything, something inside of me is different. Instead of dwelling on the sick dog, lamenting about all of the cleanup, and giving in to the “Woe is me, nothing is ever going to change. My purpose in life must have been to clean up dog vomit” mentality, I have been able to take it in stride and keep my focus where it ought to be. I am focusing on finding what God has for me to do today and baby stepping my way into my dreams one day at a time. Just writing this post to start the blog I have been thinking about for years is a big step in itself.  

All of this is leading into a huge leap of faith in opening my own business. I am excited to see where He leads and what He has in store. (Which may include a trip to the vet.)

I hope your week is off to a great start too:) What is God leading you into today? 
Welcome to Captivating Joy!
