Can you relate?
Do you ever feel like your life is a swarm of bees surrounding you that gives you just two choices; you could avoid the swarm- or life itself, or you could take a deep breath and slowly reach in gently pulling out the honey. You know if you choose poorly you will surely suffer here, or if you try to haphazardly fall into things to avoid the responsibility of choosing you will also experience pain.
Then there are the demanding people in your life, or the internal struggles and issues, they are like these lions roaring and clawing trying to shred your costume and eat you in front of your audience. These are often simple to take care of. It is just a matter of boundaries or decisions that change your stance in front of others only to show a polished performance of taming and presenting yourself in the midst of order.
If you can relate to either of these analogies then you my friend are on the threshold of something good!
This is where I feel I am, I feel like I am charming and taming respectively.
I closed my business down officially, I choose to be here in my home and care for my long neglected abode. This is taken as offsetting to some of those in my life.
I get many questions now of what am I to do now?
Will I get a regular job?
What am I going to do with my time?
Oh, and then there are those who ask for products and seem to have missed my last several months of stressing over this decision to close and stating to the world that ' It was fun but now I'm done!'
I ended up changing my voice mail greeting due to the sudden burst of orders, where were they when I had almost no sales for 3 months?
As I write this I wanted to make sure I put out there the clear message that AllThingsNew the business is really no more...but that Betty Kloppenburg is definitely up to something good, I am still enjoying this ride!
I hope this finds you also enjoying your journey...Thanks for being part of mine!
Take care
BettyK
