You Have a Secret Admirer

I thought this article written by Laura Simms on the Scoutie Girl blog really hit home this morning.  As we all know, change is inevitable and it just so happens that there's a few areas in my life at the moment that are gearing up for a big change.  So when I read these thoughtful words of encouragement, I really felt the need to pay it forward in case any of you like-minded and creative entrepreneurs are feeling like you need a kind word as well. 

Dear passion-driven entrepreneur,
I want you to know how much I admire you. You do what so many people dream of but don’t have the courage, permission, or guts to do. You do work that’s often deeply personal, heart-centered, and that makes a real difference in the world.

Is someone handing out awards for this stuff?
Because regardless of if you’ve “made it,” what your sales are, or how many blog visitors you have, you are doing it. And that’s more success than most people on the planet will know.
I hope you will keep it up. For as long as it’s right for you. That you’ll work through the hard bits, seeking support & education when you need it, and doing your own thing when you don’t.

You matter. Your work matters. You’re probably doing even better than you think.

You have an admirer in me. And probably in lots of people you don’t know, but whose lives you have touched with a soft hand-knit cap, a whimsical piece or art, or well-turned phrase.
Give yourself credit. You deserve it.


Kudos to Laura for making us smile! :)
