Failed Entrepenuer/New Beginnings.

Well people,
I opened a new business in January 2013. I will be closing shop in June of 2013. Six Months. That's it. I could blame the fact I opened after the holiday season, not before as planned. I can blame the fact that an important source of funding dried up, became non-existent due to circumstances beyond anyone's control.
I could blame myself for not squirreling away more money when I had it, but I won't. I have a knack for rushing into things. It felt right at the time, I thought I had God's backing/blessings, I still think I do. Everything happens for a reason.
When events happen in my life, I always try (at least now) to see what good came out of the experience.
I have almost read the entire Bible; the book upon which I have based my faith on, but never got around to reading. I met a lovely, young lady, who I helped mend her relationship with her mother and helped her seek a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. I also met, another wonderful lady, who helped me affirm my belief in Jesus Christ. I made kids smile with free balloons. I realized we are all the same and love a good deal on anything.
Thomas Edison once said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10, 000 ways that won't work..." That's the way I feel about this experience. The number one thing I have realized on my lifelong journey on trying to figure out what I want to do with myself is to see each step just like that; one more way that just doesn't work for me.
When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with traveling. I still am. I have not traveled like I would have wanted because of the debt I had. Well, now, the debt should disappear with the bankruptcy I have to declare now. Not exactly the way I had pictured being debt free (except for the house mortgage that is, gotta live somewhere.)
 In a way, it is a gift. I won't be making the same mistakes again.It is also an eyeopener, I am too much of a free spirit to be bound by a "regular job" or the responsibilities of being "the boss." The money has to come from something else. The money to be free.
You see, at the root, is the desire to be rich enough, that money is never an issue anymore in life. It would be just a tool, something to use as needed, which it is already anyway. But, the more you have, the better!
I won't give up on that dream, I keep on making it happen one way or another. The dream would be a hit song, or book, or being at the right place at the right time, the lotto, etc...
I got to wander, I can do it poor, but I'd rather do it
RICH!
