July 13th 2011: Day 1

Well, actually, it may have been the day before, but I am not into numerology anyway! Around this time my husband and I (finally) agreed:  Something needed to change and we were either going to be a part of it or we weren't- so why not try.  My husband had been obsessing on and off about solar energy solutions, ORC systems, green building technology and starting a new business for a few years now.  Neither he nor I had actually made any real commitment towards starting anything and I had my doubts about changing careers.  My education and training lies in Biology and Environmental Resource Permitting, while my husband owns his own carpentry business.  My husband RH has a plethora of interests stemming from electrical conversions, mechanics, engineering, physics, and cosmology to name a few, while I stick to cultural, social and environmental based interests.  We are both in our late 20's, and our financial situation is, well, to be frankly honest- anemic..  Changing careers sounded expensive, especially for two people who can not afford to work and not make an income, even if it is for only a short time.  Still, something in me just clicked the night he got on his soap box and ranted about why we need to change what we are doing (for the 100th time!).  Something clicked.  I knew it was crazy but somehow it finally made sense, in my heart, at the most basic level.  Sometimes though, they say you just have to be a bit crazy to do do crazy things.  Did I mention this is the first time I have ever blogged and my second-ever post?
