An important epiphany that I need help on...

Hmmm...where to begin. Lately I've felt called (well pushed really) in a way I never really have been before. I've always been the quiet, rather shy rose of the group and my career choices have always reflected such. But now I find myself intrigued, pulled even, to the idea of owning my own herbal/pagan shop. And not only that, but the desire to correctly teach future generations of crafters fills me with a feeling of immense love and purpose. Because of this, I am now turning from my former plans of attending public college and instead enrolling in online ones. I'm studying for a major in business management as well as degrees in both pharmaceutical and magical herbalism. Also, and only because I want to know as much as possible and be prepared for the task of a teacher, I am beginning the path to becoming an ordained Priestess. I'm very nervous, yet confident. It's strange. I feel as though everything else I've done in my life was just procrastination and I am only now finally finding my purpose. I dream often now of Gaia smiling down at me with love and tears of pride in her eyes. During all the things I've endured...my childhood, my marriage, all the pain and hopelessness...I've held fast in my faith and love for the Earth. I want to make a difference, I want to share the love and healing that Gaia offers and now I finally feel that I can. For my shop I plan to make herbal remedies as well as offer homemade products such as beeswax candles of various colors, robes (I'll have a small stock but also take requests if one should want a specific style or size made), and other small items like books, pendulums, jewelry, etc. If I don't have something, I will order it on request. My remedies and card readings will be love offering only, I won't charge anything and I'll only charge the cost of materials on the things that I make. I hope this will help the pagan community. I know a lot of shops charge ridiculous prices for bulk bought and shoddily made items. My classes, likewise, will be love offering only. Here's the thing....I want opinions. What do you, my friends and fellow crafters, think? I know I am young, but each degree is a year to progress through and it will be awhile before I have the funds to start up. It all feels so right, almost...predestined, though I know that is silly. But honestly, don't spare me, please leave comments?

In Love and Light,
