My New Career Path!

Well...something you may not know about me is that I work for myself and offer web design services.  This past May (2010) I came up on a GREAT job as an Administrative Assistant, but I made the decision to resign.  I still feel like I made the right decision. 

Anyhow, I have known for a LONG time how to design websites, blogs, and various graphics, etc.  It started awhile back when I started dabbling around with building my own websites and blogging about family life and then designing blogs for various projects.  Once I spent so much time...and I do mean I was spending hours...and hours...and hours on my new hobby...and then my hobby caused me to REALLY become more experienced by being really able to "dive in" with experience in what I do.  Then others saw what I could do and without me actually offering my services I was being asked if I would help them with this project or that project.  It went from me helping out a few friends to building a site for a Church and a business, etc.  And I was even being told by others I should offer my services to others.  So I really thought I could open the door to something if I really tried and wanted to. 

So...before I ever became an Administrative Assistant (which was in May 2010), in January of 2010 I began So Stylilized as an effort to offer my design services to others.  I have MANY years of experience in designs and I LOVE design stuff plus a lot of people have told me MANY times that I should offer my services for others.  I feel that God gives us each a talent or a purpose (sometimes even more than one talent and purpose) and I don't think it is right for those talents and purposes to go to waste, and I felt before I started So Stylilized (seeing as how I had so much experience with design and I REALLY enjoy design) that God had gave me this talent and it was going to waste as I wasn't using it to help others.  So...So Stylilized was born.  It has been over a year since I started So Stylilized and I have did more with So Stylilized than I could ever, and I do mean EVER imagine.  Am I getting rich off of my services?  No!  But...my husband is the primary breadwinner and I am his wife and our kids mom first and fore-most and then I am a (website and some graphics) designer next and at this point I don't even put a price tag on my designs...I don't set an amount to charge...people can tip me in whatever amount they wish and I still am able to help people (who may or may not ordinarily be able to order a custom design while keeping it affordable for them with them just paying a tip and keeping it fair for me to get something for my time) AND I am able to still say I do my part in working at home while doing what I was put here to do first...which is my TRUE purpose...to serve God and be wife and mom to the best people that God could have ever put in my life!!
