For weeks now I have had an envelope sitting on my desk. Inside the envelope is the signed paperwork to file my LLC. Why has it been sitting on my desk? Good question. The day I was originally going to file it a couple of months ago, my husband and I decided we needed the money for something else. I reluctantly agreed to put off sending it in.  

When I finally was able to send it, I hesitated. Was I ready to do this? Do I have the right name picked out? Is this really what I want to do? It’s such a big step! All of these doubts and questions swirled through my mind for the last few weeks. I finally decided yes, this is what I want to do, I am ready and it’s time to take things to a new level. I’ve been talking about it for long enough and it’s time to do something about it (in case you haven’t figured it out by now, I talk to myself A LOT. Some of the best conversations and biggest ideas happen when no one else is around).

So today’s the big day. I’m going to walk into my office, dust off that envelope, put a stamp on it and drop it in the mailbox. My new company is about to be born.

What’s even scarier is I’ve chosen an official “launch” date, May 21st. It’s a Saturday which is slightly unconventional but it’s also my Dad’s birthday. I know he would be so proud of this venture if he were here today so I wanted to honor him and celebrate by kicking things off on his birthday.

I’m so excited that everything is finally coming together. As I write this I’m also becoming increasingly aware that May 21st is not far off and there is still much to be done including the website. So I’m going to take a big deep breath, sign off and get to creating!
