  • Gratitude in My Heart Prevails Anxiety

    red-flower1I started this blog with the idea of starting a business in publishing with my sister.  We have a layout of a book that was supposed to be written a year ago. Maybe the book needs more time. (It is different than the manuscript I wrote myself). If you read my last post, I have let go of the plan we had, at least for now.

    To create a new business while still holding on to your other business or work requires a tremendous amount of effort, focus and time. There are alot of sacrifices to make if you want to move on to something different. I want to do something different not only as a back up plan, but because I truly have the passion in my heart to inspire people. What better way to inspire, than to not give up on your dreams in the midst of great challenges.

    I haven’t given up on my dreams. They simply have been revised. One needs to have flexibility in order to survive what is being thrown at you.

     Just when I thought he was getting better, and now this. And the weird thing is that in the afternoon right before I went to the vet, I made one of the best connections in the last six months with an asset manager. My thought was wow, just when I was throwing in the towel, I finally get some potential good news on my business. It still has happened yet, but it was a very good connection.

    I am still processing this feeling with Sparky. I have never loved a pet so much as I have him. He has been my constant companion. I brought him home and chose not to put him on IV’s and chemotherapy.  My brother says it is the best thing to do for now until I see him in unbearable distress. He is walking and ate tonight. What a long road this has been. (more…)
