There are so many different sides to me. Some I haven't really shared with others. Not because they are a secret, but because I haven't really figured out what it means to me or how much I really want it. I've had ideas running through my head as to what I want to do or be (besides wife, mother, short-order cook, house cleaner, etc.).
1) I want to learn to sew. Wow! Did I just say that? Part of this could stem from the fact that I am now a wife and mother and it would be cheaper to make things for the house and children than to buy them. The other part could come from just a desire to learn something new. Learn a new trade. Learn to make bags, purses, curtains, whatever! And sell them! Contribute to the family's finances, but mostly, be proud of my accomplishments that this was something I actually made!
2) Get my MBA. I know I could get this partially through the local college, or through Phoenix online. I would love to learn more about business and how to run one (maybe I could sell my bags from knowing about this?). I feel like my brain is wasting away and I don't like it!
3) Take a HTML/web development class. I would like to learn how to make a website and manage it. For business purposes, but also just to know how to do it!
4) Start a Customer Service consulting company. So many times I have gone places or called a company on the phone and the way their customer service dept handles things, makes my skin crawl. I would create a company where I would train the employees on the benefits of excellent customer service. They would in turn, be somewhat of account managers and would find companies which they could train their staff. I would start the training on my own until the company was big enough for more employees, but true customer loyalty is falling by the wayside as computers and technology become more rampant in this country and the world. So, thinking about the future, clients would have to learn ways in which their websites and automated systems would benefit the customer trying to use it, even more so than themselves. How many times have I clicked off a website because it was too confusing or wouldn't take me back to the last page I was browsing. Stuff like this would need to change.
5) Become healthy. Now of course this may seem simple in itself, but really can be quite complicated. I want to be able to sit for long periods of time without my tailbone feeling like it is on fire. I would like for the stress to be taken out of my left shoulder. I would like to be able to run a mile without being completely winded or taking long breaks. Some day I would like to run in a race - maybe a half marathon or a triathlon. I would like to fit into my old clothes. The ones from just 10 years ago. I would like to feel good about my appearance on a daily basis, not just on a case by case basis.
6) I would really like to learn how to cook better. Take a class on sauces and spices. Learn how to make healthy meals with just a few other flavors added, but not sacrificing the health aspect.
7) I would like to open my own bakery/deli shop, but have healthy choices. Homemade breads, spreads and great deli selections and salads. I made a salad the other day, which was fantastic! Chicken, black beans, corn, lettuce, spinach, a tiny bit of cheese, sunflower seeds, craisins, small chunks of apple and salsa/ranch dressing. So good! For the most part, a pretty healthy salad, just have to fine tune a little bit.
8) Photography class. Oh how I would love to learn how to take really great pictures! Maybe even one day having a business where I take pictures of others for engagement or weddings, families, whatever!
I have so many ideas and things I want to do, I don't even know where to begin!
