Happy New Year 2018!
I know that I rarely update my blogs (this blog especially) not that I don't have any stories to tell, in contrary I have so much to tell that I get lost where to start.
Well, to make story short, I came a long way from my last post. I did some collaborations and exhibitions for my creations and completed some orders too. Right now I'm preparing for another event to showcase my works next month on Feb 6th. Then in Spring I plan to start a sewing club at my place, just for a bunch of friends who wanted to learn to sew for the first time. Then Summer we plan to visit our home country.
Some things also changed. I no longer work with the publisher. My contract will end this spring I think, and I no longer put my creations in Ateapic. The story is a bit long to write and I don't feel like writing it down either.
New year, new resolutions? .. yeah, I guess I have some. I want to teach others and teach my self more in this domain (sewing, couture, creations), because that what makes me a happier and better person. Sewing has changed my life for the better and I don't think I'll quit until I get enough :)
Now, many people discourage or underestimate me trying to reach my dreams. They don't know or refused to understand that most dreams need hard work. Almost nobody can reach a success overnight. It all need time and process, and that's the part that people don't (want) to see or do for themselves. I read this article somewhere,
“Dreams don’t work unless you do“

What did John C. Maxwell mean when he said, “Dreams don’t work unless you do“? This lesson needs to be learned by every entrepreneur thinking of taking that giant leap to pursue their dreams.
Being an entrepreneur will be hard. There, I said it. All of us who have done it know that. If you are looking to start a business, don’t think it will be easy. If it were easy, everyone would be entrepreneurs and there would be no people to run the day-to-day jobs that keep our world going. It isn’t for everybody, but it is worth it if you don’t quit.
Many people say they’ll start a business and start assuming it will all go according to plan.Then, they quit at the first sign of trouble and complain about how hard it is or blame their failure on the economy or their government or their parents or their past, or just blame them on anyone who has nothing to do with their dreams!
Most people tend to give up on their dreams. Many will throw away their talents and live their lives from weekend to weekend, dreading everyday in between. Is this the way I want to live? I decided it wasn’t and so have countless others. But, those first few years of pursuing dreams as an entrepreneur are brutal.
Lucky for me, at least for now, I have support from a responsible husband. Because if not, I may not be able to support this family, myself and our 2 kids and how on earth we can live in this overpriced country? ...
But, if I give up, failure is 100% and I can kiss my dreams goodbye. That’s not what we want, is it? so I need to stick with my goals for as long as it takes and who knows what the future holds? nobody knows. I know that my husband will retire one day and we may be return to our homecountry.
By taking this steps right now, I know I will thank myself later for trying, for having guts to take action and reach out what I want, what I've missed in my younger years, what has always been in my dreams ...
