first time...
Posted 07-25-08 at 09:28 PM by chosen07
In Biblical terms, the number 8 represents "new beginnings". I, as an individual try to be practical and not overly spiritual 
but I can't help but to think of the significance of this in my life. 2008 brought in so many 'firsts' for me and I know that there is still more to come.
In January of this year, I took on a role professionally that I have only dreamt about- I entered the classroom as a college lecturer. This was fulfilling on so many levels!
Then, on April 25 of this year, I became a wife and as special of an event as this is, the significance of this experience reveals itself in my current reality of being a 'roommate' too. you see, I've never lived with my husband prior to marriage...well in fact, never lived with a man at all. [thank God for good pre-marital counseling!]
Now, my hubby and I are currently in the process of becoming homeowners, yet another first for both of us...
and my most current 'first' is embarking on becoming an entrepeuneur. My husband and I have discussed and agreed that I can start my own wedding coordinating/consulting business!
Did I mention I am beyond excited because I get to make my own money without answering to anyone and still do something that I find not only fulfilling but fun?! But more than the exhiliration...I feel fear. Fear of the unknown. I battle questions of "Am I good enough?", "Can I be successful?", "Am I taking on too much?" and the questions go on and on...
My goal is to have fun while put my natural knack for organizing to good use. It will be on a very small scale, no advertising...except through word of mouth and I am not even sure if I will go through all of the legal establishments...well not yet.
This is going to be a balancing act as I am a full-time wife, full-time psychologist, part-time lecturer and also work part-time for another consultant who hosts training workshops. Those roles also compete with daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunty and friend.
My blog will choronicle my experiences as I embark on this journey. Did I mention, I already have my first paying customer?

Hey Gia!
Love reading your blog. I just started my own wedding/event planning business too. It's scary at first, but you can do it, just step out on faith. God will take care of the rest.Posted 09-14-08 at 04:35 PM by ibot4291
