I was driving home from the Library yesterday when I had a brainstorm that nearly blew me off the road.
I have recently had to educate myself on a particular specialized subject and I spent many long hours doing research.
All of a sudden, my inner voice told me that I am now an expert on that subject. And the idea was born of turning my knowledge into a business.
I have attended numerous "trainings" in my life and I know I can do the same thing. It is a very small specific target market and I feel qualified to teach what I have learned.
The point is that I have confidence in myself and I know I can do this.
This is not about making money, it won't produce much income, it won't even bring about world peace. But it's something that will not only do some good, it will make me feel useful.
Without my TOOLS, I never would have even thought about this, and might never have realized that I have something worthwhile to offer.
Now I have to begin planning, and start writing a training course. (I can't believe I'm even saying this, even a week ago I could not have said it)
Ultimately what this means is that I HAVE TO CLEAR OUT SOME CLUTTER so I can make room for this in my life.
Keep the faith y'all!!!

You go girl!
You are truly amazing. First you return books, which allows you to get back into the library, then you volunteer to help out with filing the library's CDs, next you're using the library to the fullest extent and then you're raring to go on a project that will contribute to humanity. Wow. Just think, if you hadn't had the courge or willingness to return your books, this would never have happened. I wish you all the success in the world on this new project.
I also want to thank you for commenting on my blog. Your comments are always helpful to me.
How inspiring!
The way Kayla explained the library book story and how it has lead you here is truly eye opening. It's amazing how one small action can lead to big and wonderful changes in our lives!
You are truly an inspriation, Beverly and power to you!! You will help your community and my guess is, your heart is in the right place, which will lead you further along the road you want to travel.

Geez you make me laugh. Talk about how a thunderbolt hit you?? Happily this new idea didn't blow you off the road but blew you right into your own future. EXCITING!!
I LOVE the support you got and great ideas. I agree powerpoint is important...I'd like those powerpoint sites myself.
Can't wait to hear MORE about these recent successes and enthusiastic plans in Tools.
Am with you all the way. (And just think, all this began by finding your head!)
