Someday on Oprah....

So, I am in the process of starting this new and fantastic business, right? And I am the first to admit that I am not very computer savvy. It has been known that I also tend to get a little frustrated from time to time when the technical part of my everyday living is not performing to its potential. For instance, I was just trying to upload a bunch of pictures of Emma into the computer and even share one or two with you, but the camera keep saying communication error. Isn't that annoying? I can't upload a thing at the moment. My computer has been acting out lately and preventing me from doing my work properly, and I can't help but to wonder if it is just time to get a new computer...one that will go very well with the new iPhone I hope Santa will get me this year...:0)

Speaking of Santa, my husband and I just decided to go back to Sweden for Christmas. Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and every year it keeps getting better and better. Now that Emma is born, I can't wait to buy her Christmas gifts, wrap them up, and see her face when Santa comes...Christmas is simply Christmas and I don't want to spend a minute of it without my family back in Sweden. Every time we spend Christmas away from our family back home it is never really Christmas. So we made an executive decision to go back this year since it is also Emma's first birthday in December, and we definitely don't want her family to miss out on that...

While I'm there, I will of course also do some business and scout out some potential suppliers for the baby products I want to import. I have already decided what products I am going to start off with, but I am not quite sure which suppliers to use yet. There is an ocean of things out there, and I really want to narrow down the product selection. I will not be one of those stores that sells everything. On the contrary, I will be the store where you can buy a select few of very special items that might be hard to find else where. The whole process of starting my own business is very time consuming but oh so much fun. How do you guys like the name, Tittut Baby, by the way? Tittut means Peek-a-boo in Swedish and since it is Emma's favorite game, I think it is perfect.

So to make a long story short, in between all the diaper changes, feedings, picking up all the spilled (thrown)food from the floor, dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, and you name it, I do manage to squeeze in a minute or two for planning the business. And every time I look at Emma I get so inspired about the future and what will come next. I mean, I am planning on having Oprah on speed dial, that's how successful I intend to be. Isn't it great to have so much passion for something that every time you wake up you can't wait to start another day?

Yep, that's me. And Emma of course. Because ultimately she is the inspiration for all of this. Since I became a mom my world has changed. And I know it sounds so cliche, but it is true. I used to live in the future and always looked at what was coming next. And while I still look forward to a lot of things (as with my new business for example), I am also able to enjoy every day and cherish simple moments that used to pass me without reflection. I like to say that I live more consciously now because every moment is precious. Being with Emma every day forces me to be in the moment like nothing else, and she keeps reminding me of what's ultimately important and who I am doing this for. So I guess I need her to help keep me grounded. Because I know in my heart that once I am grounded and in that place of infinite inspiration, I can create miracles and do things I never thought possible. We all can. And even though Emma plays a big part in that, I also know that that is all me...
