I created a website today! www.rebornmaternity.com
It's lame but it was $2.00 and it reserves the domain name. How fun is that? I wish Google had a small business platform like Yahoo! does. I'm sure it's a matter of time and when it happens, it'll be so great. Does anyone know if Google has a 'create your own webpage' program? For now, I'm going forward with this Yahoo! thing. We'll see!
It scared me to do this, by the way...felt good.

Chrystal,
I hope you take at least one step forward each day towards your dream. Don’t worry about success or failure: you are already a success for having the courage to actively purse something you are passionate about.
Continue surrounding yourself with people who are positive and encourage you. Many small people will belittle and discourage you, because you remind them that they lack the courage and/or imagination to purse their passions. If the naysayers ever get to you, I hope you will remember one of my favorite quotes:
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
If you would like to speak to someone who has experience starting a business, I could get you in touch with my wife. She started import/export businesses importing baby products from Sweden. In fact, I think you have already met her: Alexandra Anderson. We also have a friend who recently became a mother and decided it was time for her to follow her life long dream of starting a local art store in Santa Barbra: Haggle at 3 E De La Guerra. She is a real character, a Bosnian who grew up in Sweden. I am sure she could give you some pointers about starting a business with a young one to care for.
Best luck,
Michael Anderson
