This comes at a time when things were feeling stagnant. Funny to say that when we’re cramming to prep for a show this week, but publicity-wize. We got a hard copy of the magazine in the mail yesterday and the pics look so much better in print. It is supposed to hit newstands on September 11.
***random side note on starting your own business: electricity. We lost power yesterday and oh my did that throw a kink into things. I had to decide whether it was more important to ship or have officially printed invoices. Even getting the correct addresses was difficult because when the power went down, it took down our internet. Luckily, I have a battery-powered laptop so I was able to access the customer files and get the addresses. Still, not my favorite to send out packages with hand-written addresses and packing slips. Delivering was the most important.
And for all of you who find it hard to find the good in the challenging, stressful, and difficult times, I’d like to share the good of the power going out. It forced me to stand in line at the post office to get our stuff shipped. Because I stood there they were able to bring to my attention that our PO box fees were due that day, or we’d be locked out and would have to pay extra fees. Not to mention the extra hassle.
The evening turned out wonderful. The electricity was out, so I couldn’t work. An amazing summer storm blew in and my kids got to shower in the summer rain - which was nice because the bathroom was pitch black. They were so incredibly happy splashing around like that, and I felt so relaxed because I didn’t even have the OPTION of working. Relaxing is next to impossible when you’re a business owner, there is always something hanging over your head. Thankfully, God works in mysterious ways.
