Once we make the paradigm shift and believe, truly believe we have everything we need to take the next step in actualizing our dream is one powerful boost to the brain and shot of joy straight into the heart! GREAT read! Thanks for the good news. Hi Tara,

GREAT read! Thanks for the good news.

H. mentioned above is very heavy to be carry around lifting in and out of my car for craft shows. although I love the product my back just cant take it any more. I have been called a world class knitter and I am happiest when knitting or crocheting. Creating some pattern different and unusual. I need help creating my shop. too many products. adult sweaters, baby sweaters, minature dog sweaters, scarves, book covers, flowers for the hair, needle point pictures. a twin bed quilt made out of recycled men's jeans and pants. The list goes on and on and on. How to display the products to each's advantage. Help! I am now 71 and the C.

And the next step for me is to create a larger variety of offerings - multiple streams of income - so that I'm not so dependent on the one-on-one work that I do. I already know what I want to offer, and this has given the kick in the butt to go break that door down! :) Hi Tara! :)

This brick wall has been spray-painted with the words 'this is not a viable option, this is a pipe dream and what evidence do you have that makes you think you can achieve this?' While i have not seen this graffiti taking place, i recognise the handwriting to be my mother's. Now she is not a discouraging woman nor has she ever said this to my face but in my lifetime i do not remember her saying that i can achieve the things i set out to do. So i have clearly told myself that i can not. How can I ignore this little voice from someone so important in my life? And how does this one voice overpower all the other encouraging ones? Especially when i'm pretty sure my mother will always be there to sweep up the pieces should i fail. This is my biggest struggle!
