Dear Diary

10 months ago I moved to Charleston, SC with no job and no savings. I jumped off the swing and started rolling on the ground. I slept on the floor for the first month and ate chickpeas from the food bank for dinner.

I taught myself Marketing 101. I made flyers and handed them out at farmers markets introducing myself to strangers, and posted around Facebook. It worked. People hired me to chef for their friends and family.

My business picked me up when I was down. My business was there for me when no one else was. My business allowed me to live for free.

All I had to do was express myself and create, and people would pay for me to exist.

How else can I channel this same power?

Blogging and vlogging.
