Isn’t it awesome when a project comes together and turns out the way you want?!

I’ve been plotting and planning and dreaming up this month’s Gauche Alchemy project for months and finally made the time to put those plans into action.

Taking action is a big thing in life right now–we closed on the house, the convention schedule is heating up, I’m about to wrap up my wedding recaps which means I can get back to a more steady, regular blogging schedule, and my birthday is coming up at the end of the month which always gives me a bit of a boost to get things done.

The Video Summit, in it’s last days for this year, is always inspirational and makes me want to focus on my personal business plans–all of them, not just the cookbook side–and with the move coming up it means that our finances will be getting a little shaken up, but in a good way that means I can continue with my timeline to be more and more self-sufficient over the next few years, eventually working “for myself” more than someone else. (Of course, being in business for yourself usually means working for/with lots of someone else’s, but it’s still a different dynamic when you’re running your own show!)

Lots of change, lots of progress, lots of making things happen. I like it. A lot.

What’s going on with you?
