Chasing Dreams

Happy Monday!

What a glorious morning it was! Sun shining, butterflies flitting, birds singing...it was a bit like waking up in a Disney film! Now it's after noon and it's H-O-T! I love it!

The weekend was good, everyone got to do a little of just what they wanted and we all did some of what each other wanted. What more could we ask for?

There are lots of changes on the horizon for the Partak's, most all for the better, but some of them will require some letting go. We are evaluating where we are and where we want to be and researching what we need to do. It's amazing to me how when we simply take the action to consider changes how new information presents itself. As soon as I buckle down and recreate an old budget, I find money all over the place; a $20 in my pocket, a penny on the ground, then a dime an hour later, then Mason found $11 on the floor at SaveMart. He ran up and handed it to the man in front of us, but I think he wasn't the one who dropped it. It all happened so quickly, but the man kept the $10 and gave Mason the $1. Nonetheless, it's money all over the place. I read that as a message from the universe that there is abundance everywhere, you just have to be aware.

We are looking at what we can and need to do to continue to grow ZipperBack Gloves and see Dave's dream through to being a park ranger in Gettysburg. Yep, that means a cross country move. Through our talks over the last few months, it is making me feel increasingly more fulfilled as I support Dave in following his heart. He has wanted to do this since he was just 14 years old and if I can help him get there, what better way to show my love? Not to mention the amazing adventure it will be to move to the east coast. Our emotions are high as we think about making a move, leaving our family and friends, but they are not crazy. We know this is what we want to do and we can't do it without some tugging of our heartstrings.

So now you know what's on the horizon for us, but not immediately. There is still lots to do with Dave continuing school and finding that dream job with the National Park Service. It could be a year, it could be three...but then again, if the opportunity presents itself, it could be tomorrow. Our mantra right now is, "Be open, aware, and flexible." I hope you all are staying on top of your dreams and working every day to get one step closer to making them come true!

Lots of love!
