That’s a squeal of joy, not terror, you hear.

Every time failure seems an eminent possibility, I manage to pull out a close save or receive some renewing hope.

This venture is teaching.  I’ll never fear an interview again.  Never be afraid of the rejection of a stranger.  Never forget the money management I’m learning.

In fact, I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to continue living as basic as possible and stashing the rest when the day comes I finally can.  I really have the power to do so much more with very little – I always did it just never seemed like enough to me.  But it will feel better to say that with a little more, some cushion.

One thing I’ll never take for granted – being my own boss is kick-ass.  I refuse to settle and in my rebellion if I can succeed at this too – all the better.
