Life sometimes forces me to take a step in a fresh direction!
I had two incredible years teaching the most curious and terrifically enthusiastic group of student-scientists at Langley Middle School before I was forced to begin walking down a new path.
So, here I am putting one tattooed foot in front of the other as I dream and begin to turn that dream into a reality. I am so very excited to open an outdoor gear and marine supply shop in my town. There are so many opportunities to get out and explore the land of Whidbey Island and our surrounding seas. I cannot wait o encourage people to take a hike through our forests, kayak around our shores, kiteboard, bird watch, or take their beloved pooch to an Island off-leash dog park. It is my hope that Wander becomes more than just a source for gear of outstanding value, but that Island guests and locals alike will find inspiration through our offered event and classes.
What step am I on right now? Hmmmmm, I have bought a whole bunch of small business reference books, snooped around for a place to set up shop, I have agonized over my mission statement (still just a "working" statement), applied for a business license, and created a very thin outline for a business plan. I guess I am as the title of this entry states- somewhere in the middle of the beginning.
Join me as I Wander this path.
