i don’t have kids

however, I do have my baby.

Pour Over the Rainbow is my baby. 😆 The business I have been nurturing and building for 6 years now.

A thought crossed my mind when a customer saw my Closet In Hawaii Ad posted on the trailer. Throughout our conversation, she asked how am I able to manage all of the work between both businesses, and later on followed up with “You don’t have kids, yea?”.

I am in no position to speak for a parent of an actual living human being. When I see parents, I honestly think it’s so much work, that I don’t even want to be in that position. While I feel this way towards parenting, I also have to say that running 2 businesses is like pulling your hair from left to right, getting bald, and still ending up with a red scalp. It’s like cooking an egg, burning it, and still be content while eating it.

Our challenges in life are what we choose it to be. It seems as if we simply chose which difficult path to take.

Making an impact to the world has always been my goal. Even as a kid. My mom & dad were both enablers. My mom always said I can be anything I wanted to be. While my dad never put limits on athletic achievements as we both did marathons.

Honestly, I have the best parents ever. They did really well. They wanted to be parents when they had me and my brother. As they serve as an example, if I do intend to be a parent in the future, I have to do things as excellently as my parents have. Either that, or never be one.

While my parents’ investments were me and my brother (which doesn’t seem to give financial return anytime soon), my investment goes to Pour Over the Rainbow, or the experiences I’m gaining for future educational purposes.
