So, I thought I would write a brief blurb about how my life has changed since I had kids.  I have never had a "normal" job.  9-5 just isn't my forte' ask my previous supervisors.  They would be honest with you and me!  But, when my husband and I decided to have kids you probably wouldn't have convinced me that I would be one to stay at home with them.  Partly because the people around me sent their kids to the preschool that was in the place that I worked, so they could see them any time, pick them up at a decent hour, then spend the rest of their day with their children.  Seemed like the right way to go for me too. 

However, things change, times change, jobs change, lots of change going on, and it became more apparent, that the hours and time that I enjoyed working just would not mesh with a family.  I was the 70 hour/week workaholic and probably not in the good sense.  Boundaries to me, were a not in line with what they should be about.  I had a hard time saying no.  In fact, I was crazy enough to apply to get my PhD after graduate school (I did get in) just to have something to do and to possibly continue my writing.  It was rediculous now that I look back on it.  But, I was in my twenties and my husband and I were living in a small town home struggling to get by so to have big dreams seemed the only right thing to do. 

THEN...the actual kid came!  My daughter was born, and weeks before (actually, just a few weeks) we decided that I wanted to stay at home with her and get a feel for this motherhood thing.  It did help that I started this little business on the side that I could do from home, thanks to my older brother who needed some administrative help.  This virtual assistant idea bloomed into a larger idea and a mission that would far surpass anything I had ever thought of.  And...to be frank, I clearly heard the mission and the vision from God myself and I wish to this day I would have wrote down His exact words.  Now, I can just summarize the message.
