Well I made it official this week. While I am not closing the door of the Purple Pincushion entirely, I am wholly and completely committed to a full time position outside of the shop. The retirement benefits were too good to pass up. My position is fully vested in the Matthew 6:19 plan.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
I am now a 100% full time MOM! Mike's business is really taking off and I feel like I can set aside my business at this point and focus on the much more important work at hand, helping Lily grow healthy and strong, loving and thanking God all the way. It is a weird transition for me. I have poured my heart and soul into my business for the last 10 years so that I would be able to do exactly what I am doing now, so that I wouldn't be under someone else's thumb. Now if I can just get out from under my own thumb.....Lol!
Wish me the wisdom and grace to be the mother and teacher that Lily needs me to be.

Jennifer, you have all that you need to do this job and do it well. Thanks for this beautiful passage and touching photo.
Welcome to the club!!! You are an awesome Mom and I love your "retirement" plan. It puts it all in perspective.
ENJOY.
I don't think you will work any "less" just different and eternal!
(and that is awesome that Mike's business is growing!!!)
Hugs and love,
Lynena :)
