I'm sure you've heard of dreams coming true, but there are some dreams which are meant to be just dreams, to be thought about and felt good about, but never to realize what it is like to see them come true. Do I sound confused....I guess I still am...quite a bit !!!
Being a physician and a healthcare manager is something I've always taken pride in, but at the same time, I was equally in love with my crafty passions, and got more involved with crafting when I left my hospital job to be at home for my newborn. These last two years of being a stay-at-home-mom have been my best years in terms of finding time for knitting pretty little things for my lovely children and also gifts for near and dears. I got sooo involved with knitting and crochet that I started contemplating having a one-of-its-kind craft store, where a craft lover would find all kinds of crafting accessories and tools, where I could sit, chat and laugh with my Ravelry friends, and where I could connect and meet with people following all sorts of crafts.... So is this the dream which has come true...?? Well, not completely...partly....but I'm surely on my way to realize more soon !!
I was offered a position of a Knitting and Crochet Consultant by Knitpro, the company that manufactures my very favourite and precious knitting needles and crochet hooks. To my surprise, I did not know whether to feel excited about the offer . Afterall, I was a doctor and was supposed to be looking for suitable jobs in the healthcare industry ! Then a little voice in my heart said "Hey, isn't this what you so want to do?? And does everyone get a chance in their lifetime to give up what they are trained to do, and do what they find happiness in ?!!" And that was the moment I decided to take up the opportunity and see how things work from there.
Who knows...it might be the beginning of bigger dreams coming true......I guess I should start asking for craft store name suggestions..just in case !! What say ?!
