Yes I am pregnant.... but not the way you may be thinking!
I am pregnant with a product idea (in the beauty market) that has been slowly growing inside me. This is exciting and scary all at the same time, a lot like it felt when I was pregnant my two children, especially my first one!
I have decided, with the encouragement of a dear friend, to share the conception, pregnancy and upcoming birth of my product. My hope is to inspire other women to commit to making their dreams a reality, whether it be with the development of a product they've created, movement to the career they REALLY desire to have, or the writing of the book they have deep in their heart.
As I began to share my idea with people in my life, I found myself feeling as if I was sharing a precious secret. I was a bit unsure how my friends would react. Would they be excited for me or have that look on their face that says "It's a long road, are you sure you really want to do this?" My fears never manifested. I have to say that everyone I spoke to seemed genuinely excited for me. I even had a couple women tell me that they have had many ideas over their life time that they never followed through on. YEP, I get that! That's been me too (at least up until now).
I really got what they were saying about having ideas and never taking the journey to make them a reality. After a while it gets almost a bit depressing. You go from this high of the idea and the creativity and the possibility, to the low of turning your back on YOU, once again. I don't mean to be dramatic here, but ignoring these creative callings can take a toll!
So, how did I get here, to this idea that I am pursuing with fresh passion? That's a great question that I will answer soon! I've got to go now. This pregnancy has me feeling a bit nauseous about the baby's (I mean product's) name! I am going to make a soothing cup of tea, put my feet up, and lovingly ponder my product name.
