so i started a business.

When I drew out my list of 2014 adventures at the beginning of the year, one of the first items I jotted down was, start a new job or business. Well, folks, the time has come.

I don't have to explain how much I love books. And my last post was pretty much a proclamation of my ardent love of people. Over the past year, as I have been acting as the literature teacher for my sister and a friend of mine, I discovered a way to combine both those loves into a little business I am crazy excited about: online literature tutoring. And on April 14, I officially launched By the Book, my own literature teaching business! I'm more than just a little thrilled, if you couldn't tell. I have wanted to start a business for quite some time, and to create something that so perfectly melds two of my biggest passions has been purty amazing. God is good and gives me the courage to be adventurous.

So now if you don't mind, head on over and check out my business because I'm proud of it. No shame here, people. And I would consider it a personal favor if you would forward the link to friends, share it on your social media outlets, tell your neighbor... ya know, any way to get the word out. Thanks in advance, guys. And hey, if any of you would like to study a book with me, then let's do it! Just head over to my shop and we'll get this party started.

And I can't end this post without saying that my darling Jess is the sneaky little sheep behind the gorgeous design of my new website. Seriously, guys, she did a stunning job. Sometimes I will just click on my home page and stare at it for a while thinking, It's soooo beautiful. (Again, I really have no shame.) Thank you so much, my lovely Jess!
