Greetings everyone!

I'm new to the blog portion of this site, but not really new to yimb.com itself. I've probably been lurking here for about a year now. I really wanted to start some kind of blog to chronicle the life changes I'll be doing this year, but I didn't know quite where to do it. There are several sites I could have chosen, but I think i like it best here :) The women are so wonderful here and inspiring and everyone seems to be building such a nice sense of self and community and I would love to be a part of that. This site seems to fit so well with where my values align and how I want my life to look after my changes have been done. Coming to this site gives me a vision for myself that I love.
So anyway, that's why I'm here.
Who am I?
In my bio, i put that im just a nappy headed girl chasing her dreams. And thas pretty accurate, lol. But also im a rather nappily locked woman (going on 10 years) and my dreams are wide and varied.
My first big dream is that I want to start my own business. I'm currently working in corporate america and hating it. I admire those for whom their dreams lie here, but there is nothing here for me. I am currently trying to learn what I can to carry me to my next life transformation in progress.
I do have a vision of what I want my life to look like and it involves more than just starting my business and quitting corporate america (although that's a huge chunk of it). My vision is of myself just plain HAPPY and free. Right now, I fight frustration from sun up to sun down and on the weekends, im fraught with anxiety because I have to start it all over again. Basically, i start worrying about Monday on Sat. afternoon, lol.
At any rate, what makes me happy is creativity, a feeling of usefulness and helping others. And in a WAY, i do that now at my corporate job....but its just not right and doesn't align right with my values and so i am moving on.
Anyway, I thought I would post my goal of starting my business (by March 30, 2009) and then list my top benefits thereof. According to another blog I visit, writing your goals isn't enough for some and that you also need to write down just how each goal will benefit your life and in doing that, you can be your own inspiration.
Ok, here are my top 21 benefits for starting my own business:
1.establish entrepreneurship for myself
2.enables me to quit my job/working for others
3.give me more confidence/self-esteem/less depression, frustration in my life
4.give me more time to lift, weight train and more classes at yoga (more stress relief, focus on centering myself, connecting with God)
5.will have way more energy/ won’t be tired all of the time from fighting frustration at work
