I am
a Military wife
a mother
a stay at home wife
a home schooling mom
a short order cook
the maid and well so many other things.
Yet none of those things give me the feeling that I got today. As a first time business owner and only about 6 weeks into starting my business. Though really lets face the facts that I did not honestly work at all until 2 weeks ago. I kept saying I was going to work but I failed to follow through with working much at all.
Today when my children ( who love to check the mail ) brought me something that has changed my life. In a way that I didn't think it would ever be changed since being a stay at home mom has been my life for the past like .... well since I had my oldest 11 almost 12 years ago. I have done odd jobs and gone to school for random things. None of which I honestly felt like I was working nor did I really enjoy doing.
Yet today that all changed for the better, I think for the better at least.
I got my very first pay check from Beach Body and let me just say WOW!
The feeling of having a honest to God check that is made out to you in your hand is amazing!!!!
It is a feeling I could not for the life of me explain. It is not just about the amount of money that
I personally earned. It is all about the fact that I know I can earn money all on my own with out anyone doing it for me. I don't need to be a stay at home mom or wife. I could go out and work like any one else.
However to know that I can be at home with my kids and do everything I would normally be doing during the day. Yet make a few $100 dollars to put towards any thing I want. Well that feeling takes my breathe away. I know my husband makes good money and we have extra income coming in already. I do not have to work by any means as we have a pretty great life. But I did it and dang it I am proud of myself.
I know it is just the first of many paychecks to come but the comfort of knowing that if God forbid. Something were to happen to my husband where he could not work. I could in fact support our family all by myself.
Most of my life I have felt as if I could not do anything. That I wasn't good enough to do anything with my life besides be a mother and lets face it some people think I don't even do that well enough. I know that all those feelings stem from the abuse I went through for most of my life. From my birth mother and birth siblings who felt that I will never be good enough. Not with my life being a life that those people could only dream about. I know that they can not hold me back anymore since it has been such a long time since I allowed that mess into my life.
Anyhow I am excited to know that I can stand on my own and that my husband is very proud of me for every step I have taken. He loves and supports me more than any one has ever supported me in my life. He was just as proud of my check today as I am.
EEEEEEKKKKKK!! Y'all for real I am so excited about my check! I am so excited that I am rocking my own business and loving every moment of it. This was the boost I needed to see that the things I am doing every day are in fact paying off, for me and my family.
As silly as that might sound to some, that little paper check. It meant so much to me and it is the step I needed. To for once feel proud of myself for how far I have come these past few years. To know that where I started in life is in fact not where I have to end up.
That check was everything I could have ever dreamt of it to be and then some.
