I LOVE it! For the past couple of years ago I have wanted to rid my life of things that are draining and that are preventing me to live my life to the fullest. There are so many areas that I would like to improve...being more active, eating better, decluttering, getting rid of those people in my life who are draining, etc. I tend to be the all or nothing type, so the entire process seems too overwhelming, that I just start something but then don't continue. What I love about you is that you suggest doing it piece by piece. Thank you. You have made me realize that each little change counts and over time, your entire life can change. Baby steps....

Just another reason why I like you! Thanks for sharing your background and raison d'etre...your reason for being. I have a similarly charted course. I never thought anyone would read my blog. And just a bit over a year later I have 250 followers (yesterday I had 247...where did these three people come from?). I know that is only a drop in the bucket (there are more people that read me who aren't 'followers') but it makes me pretty proud. And my goal has never been about selling my one of a kind jewelry designs through my blog... rather I decided early on that my goal was to encourage people to tap into their inner creative wells (and manifest that in whatever way they would like) with the idea that Inspiration is Everywhere. You are a wonderful role model, Miss Jess. As a business woman, entrepreneur and chaser of dreams. Thank you for your inspiration today. Enjoy the day! Erin Green bananas are my favorite!

How did you know that your best self was lying dormant? Was there a moment in your life where you felt a lot of pain? I am just curious because some people really do not dig deep into their lives unless they have a tragic or painful event. I know I did not start excavating my life until a major heartbreak happened to me. It sounded like you had a true breakthrough about your purpose in life and at such a young age! Like Jill, I feel if I am just thinking about ideas, I am not doing and therefore my dreams get delayed. I am the type of person who likes instant gratification and likes to do things right away without letting ideas marinate in my head. It is a fear that I have that someone else will take my idea. Thanks again for such an engaging and thought provoking post. Thanks for sharing your story, Jess. How did you know that your best self was lying dormant?

But sometimes just letting the idea live with you (in an active way) and start naturally evolving THROUGH you - you can still accomplish your goal. It's all part of the process! I think it takes more stamina, maturity and the ability to be in it for the long haul that makes it a success naturally. Great thoughts!
