Hello all,
I haven't logged on in a while, mostly because I just didn't want to face people, and even though I know I don't technically have to face people, I felt I would need to update my blog, respond to people, etc. and not out of obligation, more because that's who I am and I would need to express to be true to me. I think it was good I spent some alone time, a bit weird at times, but it allowed me some serious thinking and dealing with me without influence. That can definitely be good or bad, but in this case, I faced some bad, didn't cover it up, and ended up wanted to find the good and people and reconnect. That's a big thing for me since I've been really evaluating people in my life recently and their effect on me, and I've not generally been good with asking for help.
Update to last week: not the best business conclusions from my Boston trip, but still hopeful. I basically presented this line to a buyer, and she was not so enthused. I was honestly shocked. I was also disappointed as I really saw this being a good fit and sale, but also disappointed in myself that I didn't see this coming nor did I control it better. Anyway, after wondering what happened there and how I was so off, I rallied myself to figure out other approaches and other ways to close something mutually beneficial with the buyer and line. I evaluated the fit, my presentation, etc. and have decided to try again, but to also really listen to the concerns so I build up something that works, not just because or for money or whatever. Luckily, the owners of the line are supportive and understand that things take time, so I can allow the buyer to do things at her pace and not be pushy or anything on my end.
Other than that, I've had a lot of thoughts floating around in my noggin. . . I think I am going to start a new writing project and really write the things that I carry with me the most. The things that keep popping up in my head, and that I write about from time to time, but usually in disguise. Something honest, even if just for me.
Anyhoot, the good news is I've been feeling happy, even if there is fear and being a bit lost and worried, it's not consuming me as I don't see that helping me. I'll figure it out.
Love to you all.

Also I'm really quite glad that I could say something that helps. ^^
I always hated business trips. Mainly because there was always issues that you didn't get to see that would influence the decision of the person that I was trying to sell to. ^^ I'm glad that you are going to write. Something like a journal to yourself right? always a god idea. thoughts on paper don't bounce around in the head as much.
Happy is a good thing! I cheer for you.
