Respect

In the past couple of days a number of people I have respected in this community have shown my that I have misjudged them.  It really is a shame.  This has hurt my business and personal relationships with them.  I wonder if they realize that their actions and words have affected our relationships. 

The really hard thing for me to swallow is the fact that with all of these issues a simple conversation would have worked out the details, and solved all of the problems.  Actually they did not even have to be face to face it could have been emails.  Sad isn't it, that in today's society of cell phones, smart phones, portable computers that no one had the time or inclination to contact anyone when issues arose.

And before you ask, yes I did go to the source's when I found out about the concerns and tried to placate people.  Unfortunately, it was to late.


So today's lesson for me is that when I see an issue I will always try to have a conversation about it, so that it does not fester and become a mountain.  With my current issues they are mountains, with shark infested waters surrounding them and electrified barbed wires covering it.

It really is to bad, but on the bright side, more people have come into my life that I can start anew with.  I am really looking forward to fostering these relationships, and with some people the respect just grows stronger!!

Home at Last

After 2 months of travel I have arrived home.  I have a mountain of paperwork on my desk to do.  I have a mountain of work in my shop to do.  I have cleared the messages from the answering machine and emptied my email.  My youngest son said to hubby it will be nice to have my mom around... I have seen him for about 12 and a half minutes. :)  I guess he just needs to know I am here.


A busy two months ahead of me with shows and events.  I am at the Diva Show, NGB Studio tour, Gift Giving show, Festivity, and Kingston Holiday Fayre.  Yes some of the events are on at the same time.  But I have figured out how to duplicate myself!!  Actually family and friends are pitching in.  I  just hope that they know that they get paid in SOAP!!
I hope to see some of you at these shows
