Day 11

Today was an online sourcing day and I didn’t find anything. It happens. I decided today was a good time to focus on a new project. I’ve been wanting to do something creative for a while, and make money in the process. It’ll take a while to become anything that could bring in money. But hey, even if it doesn’t end up working, it’s fun.

I’m making reels now. I’m trying my hand at storytelling in short form. I’ll be posting one part of the story every few days. Social media is a great way to bring in extra income. I don’t expect it to ever carry me, but I know it can open doors. And a good long term goal for self-sufficiency is having multiple income streams.

I have a yard sale I’m checking out tomorrow. It looks like there will be a lot of good stuff there. It’s still weird looking at items and trying to figure out what will sell. But I’ll get used to it at some point.

I’m having a good time with all of this.

The past 5 years, I’ve felt so much pressure to figure everything out. There was so much stress, I felt frozen.

But a month before I realized I had to quit my job, I could feel something was changing inside. And a lot of things about my life changed externally as well. I’m grateful for the chain of events that’ve led me to where I am now.

Things have a way of working out when you decide they will. I believe part of it is not being attached to outcome. And trusting in something you can’t understand. Just knowing you’ll get to where you’re meant to be. All the wisdom our ancestors have been sharing for thousands of years, you know?

I don’t write on Fridays. I’ll be back at this Saturday night.
