Once upon a time (in the late 1900s), I wanted to be a pro illustrator. Many said that goal was impractical, yet, here I am. Today I need a new dream, a fresh start. Some may say building an A-Frame is risky or beyond reach. Renovating an existing cottage could be full of surprises. Sometimes I throw my hands up and decide that this is not worth the heartache or that no one would approve me for the construction loan. The barrier to entry is too high. How many rabbits is one allotted to pull out of her hat in a lifetime? But then someone calls back with a pre-approval. I may struggle for several years, but I am gunning for it. Having a target keeps me going. I’ve built something from nothing before.
