A symbol of the bluebird to lead the way.
“The bluebird is a symbol of hope, love, and renewal and is also a part of many Native American legends. It symbolizes the essence of life and beauty. Dreaming of bluebirds often represents happiness, joy, fulfillment, hope, prosperity, and good luck.”

A Next Chapter – by BB Webb
We’re all constantly writing ‘next chapters’ to our lives, to our routines through opportunity, inspiration, boredom, or misfortune, forced by death or coaxed by our own desires, ambitions, and curiosity. My last inspired big shift was prompted after a visit to Bozeman, Montana to celebrate my brother’s birthday and to attend the 100th anniversary of Yellowstone National Park. It was 2016. My Carl House business was in its 14th year and I knew I was ready to let go of that adventure and the stressors which accompanied it and to begin something new.
After watching Emmy Lou Harris and John Prine on stage at the Yellowstone event, my sister-in-law and I sat with another, (new) friend, basking in the afterglow of talent at the show. We huddled under the stars, drinking wine, feeling the crisp evening Montana air, warmed by a campfire popping sparks of delight. The new friend, a successful freelance film person, asked about my business and how close I felt I was to be at ‘job optional’ status.
“Job optional?” I mused, “what does that mean?”
“It means that you don’t have to work, could take on a project you love, but you don’t need to continue to bring in dollars.”
I laughed spitting out a bit of red wine doing so! “Wow, I have all kinds of financial folks surrounding me in my business yet haven’t a clue if I could even sell my business at a profit, let alone be ‘job optional’.”
I’d weathered the 2008/09 downturn barely alive, nimbly avoiding business death by doing a fancy two-step fueled by fear, adrenaline, tenacity, and unwavering grit. I survived that and divorce the year before. It was a steamy and stressful few years. I was ready for something new and his question piqued my curiosity!
