Hey guys! I hope you are well. I have been thinking a lot recently about my life. I really started hated staying indoors and doing nothing. Even though its been 8 months since I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I still find that my life is ruled over by this illness, I really let the illness tell me what I can and can't do. I'm getting to the point where I am really unhappy with the state of my life.
Don't get me wrong I am so lucky to have the life I do in the aspect of my family, friends and the support I have around me. I know not everyone with Fibro has that advantage. But my own well being is the part that gets me down.
A few weeks ago I met up with one of my friends and a fellow army wife, who is studying to become a massage therapist, and when she is fully qualified she will be able to do it from the comfort of her own home, and she will be able to figure out her own hours and create her own little business. Which really got me thinking. I am a really creative person who loves beauty. I knew I wouldn't be able to do massage therapy or makeup artistry as you would be on your feet all day and in weird and uncomfortable positions, but I found some courses which will allow you to become a Nail Technician. I have always loved having fake and natural nails. I have tried normal manicures, gel nails and acrylics, and I love them all, especially the last two as they are more hard wearing and last longer. Another thing that really makes me want to learn this is I can work from home. Having Fibro is difficult as you have flare ups and you can never really tell when they are going to happen. But because I would be working for myself, I can sort out my hours and clients at my own will, also being a military wife means I have to move whenever my Husband does, for example I know we are moving 2 hours away in June, and I will be able to start my business up there as soon as I move, instead of having to look for a job when I move which could take weeks, even months. There is always room for more nail technicians in the world as so many women like the experience of having their nails done, and I could also host nail parties for little girls, which will give me more freedom with life.
So I am still working things out and nothing is definite, but as soon as I know I will let you know, and I will also document my journey for you, and also for me to look back on! I just wanted to write this down as I am so excited about it. I just need to work out the last bits and bobs!
Thanks for reading and I will talk to you guys soon!
