Stories all around me.

Building a business from home isn't as easy as it sounds. My biggest problem is getting inspiration for my blog posts. Where do I get inspiration? From family, friends, strangers, and things I see happening all around me.  That entails leaving home, if I leave home, I am not working on my business, or am I?  Just meeting new people and talking with old friends or family opens my mind to new ideas, needs, wants, and many ideas for fun.  When I am with my grandchildren, the possibilities are endless.  Each has a favorite sport, hobby, or crisis to share.  Each has an update about their day, a story about a teacher, a friend or their favorite TV show.

I was talking with my 10 year old granddaughter this weekend and asked her what she wanted to do when she visited our house.  She is one of our very feminine granddaughters who loves the color pink and loves to brag that her titles are Diva, Princess and High Maintenance.  I told her that Grandpa would probably be sitting on the couch after his long day at work and be flipping through the channels with the remote. She would have to get the remote from him so she didn't have to watch Ice Road Truckers or Storage Wars.  She quickly replied with a delighted squeal " I love Storage Wars!"  Who knew?  Like I said, the world is full of surprises and if you open your ears and your heart, the stories are all around you.  :)
