What's Next?

Short post today~ no major revelations or news to share!  Sounds boring, doesn't it?  I feel like I always have some quote to analyze or a motto for the day...

In the past week, I found out my "big news" was just too good to be true.  But I am okay with that.  I have also failed another Organic Chem test, so I decided last night to drop the class and retake it when I do not have 12 hours of other science classes to focus on.  I am diving head first into Stella & Dot, praying my commitment to this venture does not wane over the coming months.  I have realized that I have become commitment phobic over the past few years and keep asking myself "why?" and "when?"  I have never been one to not see something through to completion.  I think its that instant gratification need in my soul.  But lately, it has been very concerning to me.  I do not like NOT finishing something I started... and finishing it well.

Stella & Dot has a lot of potential for me.  I mean, who can complain about selling fabulous jewelry to fabulous people?  I am setting myself a goal of 10 trunk shows a month.  That is pretty high, but definitely doable.  And will keep me busy enough not to ask silly questions about my life!  I have 3 shows booked for next week, so I am off to a good start.  In addition to the S&D shows, I have been promoting Shabby & Chic a little more with a few new product ideas.  Have even gotten a few orders and that always makes me happy.

I told B this week that I have a lifelong goal to run a half marathon, preferably the Disney half next February.  He is supposed to help me start training (and work on this commitment thing).  I don't know why I struggle so much with running, it does not come easily for me.  I see so many who make it seem so effortless, I cannot help but ask myself what is the difference.  I have been doing yoga more though.  It helps so much to clear my mind.  A new studio has opened in Valdosta, so I am able to go to some great classes while at home.  I feel so renewed after an hour of replacing my thoughts with breathing and stretching.

So~ the question of the day~ What's next?  Who knows... hopefully a lot of trunk shows, some creative therapy and maybe a job interview or two.

I decided this week, life is a boxing match.  I just have to roll with the punches, taking them and giving them because I know God is my COACH and REFEREE.  He knows how I will win and will be the one to get me there.  But that does not mean I may not take a few blows to the chin...

Here is to another blog, another day, another prayer and another smile.  Because I really live a blessed life
