Forward

There are many cliche's related to change. The few that I try to adhere to are "unless it is necessary to change, it is necessary not to change," "when you're not sure what to do, do something," "when you're not sure what to do, do nothing."http://exploreforayear.com/clarity/45-inspiring-quotes-change

Sometimes, change is the only way we can keep from falling down. For me, closing the doors of my retail shop was not a decision I made lightly. I am grateful to all the people who supported me in my wavering and to the few who gave me the little pushes to make a decision. I was putting out so much energy worrying that I could barely manage anymore. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/worry I've always been a worrier and have grown increasingly worried in the past few years.

The biggest worry I had was that even though I knew in my heart that I couldn't keep it going, I felt the sting of having to let it go. The fear of judgement, of being mis-represented or mis-understood. There were also a few losses yet to be re-covered.

In the end however, there really wan't an end.  A few "buyers" came along and expressed interest in carrying it on.  I brooded and worried for weeks about that.  And then Brett and her Mom came in.  And I knew immediately that whatever they would do to my "stuff" would result in something good.  Beyond that, she's taken it forward and made it great instead.  I wouldn't have been able to bring it to great! Fred, I am so grateful that you wanted to take this little baby on.  You have done beautiful work and I know you're going to be successful beyond measure.  Mom's and Dad's check this place out and use your purchasing power for good.

I will give you a sense of my activities in my next post but for now please check out this place...


Love
