Now that the weather is taking a cooler turn and my two oldest are back in school, I have fallen into a more regular running routine. I am not sure if it's the weather or the conversation, but I had an awesome eight mile run on Saturday, a speedy six miles yesterday, and another great six miles today. Today, we made a wrong turn which added to our usual hilly run and I wasn't even put off by tacking on an extra half mile. I am actually bummed that I can't run tomorrow because I have to take the car to shop and spend half the day at the library hoping they can fix whatever it is that is causing my car to stop in the middle of the road. Yeah, it's that bad.
Saturday and today I ran with my favorite running partner and best friend. Durning our runs we have talked about launching a business. Part of me thinks I must be crazy to add another thing to my hectic life, but the other part of me knows I am crazy and will find enough to run the extra mile.
In this case, the extra mile is a business. We've tossed ideas around for years about careers we would enjoy, be purposeful, allow us to care for our kids, and be flexible. After all, I realize that even after I start a career, I will still be the mom bus, the cook, the shopper, and the housekeeper (even if I am a bad one). Our latest brainstorm meets all of our demands: an educational eco center that is focused on green living and purposeful parenting. We don't want to teach, but would like to provide the time, space and materials for parents and their children to come together. We see it being child led and extrememly nature driven. I see a natural playscape, square foot themed gardens, flower gardening, and recycled crafts. Now I need to research how to start a business.
