Living alone

Right now I am realizing, like an epiphany, I am a loner!  I like being alone to follow the beat of my own drum.  I am, for the most part the happiest I have ever been, I have a job I love, I am able to follow whatever thought which pops into my head. 
Like writing these blogs. 
I love the creativity I am allowed to write in them.  I only hope someone reads them and is able to find inspiration in them.  This blog which I am actually looking for a new title since 'starting over again' really does not encompass the scope of it.  It needs a title which is catchy and interesting.  It really has no theme except for the 'no theme' of it.  I usually just blog about a single thought which pops into my head.  Today's thought is about the peacefulness of being alone but not lonely.
I love ALONE! 
I love waking up and having no one to answer to, since this is the first time I have been on my own for any more than a few months, I find I really love it.  I love not having to please anyone else, not having to answer to anyone but myself, and not having any decisions made for me.   I can eat what and when I want  Right now it is almost a year and I am just starting to get into a routine of discipline to accomplish all I want to accomplish now. The down side is I have no one to blame for any of my mistakes.
 I am really busy right now.  I have three blogs http://suesladybugjewelry.blogspot.com , http://gamblinggirl.blogspot.com/, two web pages,
I have a store on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/Suestreasures2012?ref=si and all my listings on eBay http://www.ebay.com/sch/spovio/m.html?item=121035952738&ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562.  AND I still work full time. I guess one of the things I am finding out about myself is I like being busy and at the same time I do not like anyone I see every day to really know how busy I am.  I don't, for the most part tell anyone about these writings I do.  I talk about them but I do not elaborate on them.  The insecurity of thinking I do not write enjoyable enough for anyone to really like these makes me keep quiet about them.  I enjoy writing and posting and hope someone reads them and finds some type of inspiration in them, but the fear of ridicule stops me from promoting my writings.  Silly as it sounds, I am sure there are alot of people who have the same fears and insecurities.  What am learning as I get older is to not take it all so serious and just to have fun with life.
I am trying to find a catchy name for this blog so it reaches more people. Any suggestions?

I AM Doing it!

I am making it! 
This is the longest time I have lived alone, the longest time I have had to pay my own bills! And I, me alone, am doing it. In the past someone else always paid the bills, or in the case with my mom she put the bills on the computer and I paid what she told me to, I did not really have a clue to any of it.  Yeah she tried to teach me and I would pretend to listen.  I had a general idea but, no actual knowledge to budget and be prepared for a bill bigger than my paycheck.  Now I am happy to say I am learning all of that.  Difficult yes, complicated yes, but not undo able.
I am also making more bracelets some are selling which is exciting and can be seen at my other blog site. Follow the like:  http://suesladybugjewelry.blogspot.com   which has links to my eBay listings.  Or on Etsy follow the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Suestreasures2012  Visit the sites and look around, on the Etsy site there is a button if a custom item is desired or you can email me at suep2004@comcast.net with any questions.
I am doing what I always wanted to do.  I am creating something which I hope make people feel good.  I now have an idea to create 'beat the habit' bracelets or a type of prayer bead to inspire a break the addiction or habit of anything.  They are going to encompass the same idea of the cancer awareness bracelets.  The colors will belong to or represent a habit or addiction the user wants to break.  Stay tuned to the blog http://suesladybugjewelry.blogspot.com  for the products.
I at this point in my life excited about how I am doing.  I do have to say that the law of attraction is at play here.  I ask or wish if you want, for an idea to create something unique and it comes at the craziest times. I try to carry a piece of paper and writing instrument with me so I do not forget the idea. Sometimes I use my hand, the notepad I am never without, I do not recommend it to anyone but it works for me.
This is for anyone who thinks they cannot do it on their own phooey! I am and for anyone who said I could not. I am proving them wrong, I am making it.  I am happier now than any point in my life.  I do not have to depend on anyone but myself.  How much better can it get than that?
Stay tuned for the new line of products coming soon and they will be listed and pictures on my blog Sue's Lady Bug Jewelry.  Which is the name I picked out five years ago when I started, talk about the 'Law of Attraction'   I thought it, I worked at it even when there was no reason to believe it would come true.  The key here is I believed it.  I continued to believe, and still believe it will be bigger than I can imagine.  My future is bright because I believe it will be.  And the idea of believing gives the way to creating anything.  I am proof. 
So this post is about the idea of I AM doing exactly what I want to do, what makes my heart and soul feel great.  I hope anyone reading this does not give up on their dreams and is so naive they do not know they can fail.  My biggest inspiration is my son, ironically he and his wife are never afraid to fail. They have dreams and ideas which sound so silly to me and I am sorry to say, I tell him so.  Thankfully it does not stop them they keep believing and they create their dreams.  Hats off to my son and his wife for being my inspiration even if they do not know it.  I love them both.
