Motivation

I have always been sort of a dreamer. Someone who thinks and dreams of all the things that they want to do but never really puts them to practice or gets them done. I don't want to be that way but I have more ideas than I ever really get done.

I used to work at a place called the St. James Tearoom. I loved it. It was really fun and I always had wanted to have a little tea party of my own at my house. But of course I always thought about it and never did it! Until....
My friend Heidi is the opposite of me. She is a doer! She thinks of something she wants to do and she immediately starts planning. So one day over a pot of tea, I told her my tea party idea. She whipped out her pen and a piece of scrap paper from her purse and said, "When? What are you going to make? Lets write down who we are inviting."  Whoa! I did not know I was going to just jump into it but I went along with her. That day we planned a date, our menu, and all the things we would have to buy.

One month later...I had a beautiful tea party for my friend Courtney's birthday! All it took was a little shove and a lot of help from a good friend.
