Small Possibilities

Hey friends! 💫

This post feels a little different, and honestly, I’ve been waiting to share this journey with you. For the longest time, I let the fear of judgment from others hold me back. You know that feeling, right? The self-doubt, the constant worry about what others might say if you really go for it. Well, after a lot of reflection and growth, I’ve finally stopped letting that fear control me. Instead, I’ve decided to give my dreams my all, and I’m so excited to share where I’m at right now.

First of all, I finally launched my Etsy shop! 🎉 It’s been a long time coming. Listing those first items was such a nerve-wracking but exhilarating experience. I poured so much time and care into each piece, and the moment I clicked “publish,” it felt like the culmination of all the little steps I’d taken over the years. And guess what? I got my first sale not long after! It was surreal. I kept staring at the notification, thinking, This is it. This is real. It was such a small but powerful validation that this dream — this thing I’ve wanted for so long — is happening.

Starting Small Possibilities has been such a huge shift for me, mentally and emotionally. It’s like I’ve given myself permission to embrace my creativity fully. I’ve always had these ideas bubbling in my head, but now that I’m actually making them a reality, I feel a sense of purpose I hadn’t experienced before. Having my own business has given me a reason to work on my projects and set those fun “deadlines” — deadlines that make it so much easier to pick up my knitting or crocheting at the end of a long day. Knowing that I’ve got a handful of loyal blog readers (seriously, thank you to all five of you 😜) keeps me motivated. It’s like I have this small but mighty audience, and I don’t want to let you down!

So, to anyone out there who’s thinking about turning their hobby into something more — whether it’s a side hustle or your full-time gig — my advice is simple: Do it. Starting this blog, opening my Etsy shop, and fully diving into Small Possibilities has done wonders for my mindset. It’s so freeing to know that I’m working toward something that’s truly mine, and it’s brought so much joy into my life. It’s not always easy, and sure, there’s a lot of work ahead, but knowing that I’m finally embracing my dreams has been incredibly empowering. I feel more myself than I ever have before.

I’ve been working hard behind the scenes, too. There’s still so much to research and fine-tune, but guess what? A YouTube channel might be in the cards! I’m excited to see where that path leads and how it can tie into everything I’ve been building here. I’ll keep you all posted, but just know, the dream is expanding!

Thank you to everyone who’s been supporting me, cheering me on, and following along on this journey. I couldn’t do it without you. Your belief in me — whether you’ve followed from the start or just joined in — has pushed me to keep growing and keep creating. So, here’s to more progress, more growth, and more dreams coming true. 🧡

Catch you all soon!

Love,
Cas Lin
