Some days this is what following your dream looks like.
Some days this is what running your own business feels like.
Some days well-meaning customers piss you off.
Some days you don't do the right thing.
Fortunately, these types of days are rare.
Fortunately, I get to say when it's closing time.
Fortunately, I can go take a walk to clear my mind. Pray.
Fortunately, today is only for today. And tomorrow is a new day.

Some days we worry the iceberg will drift into shallow water and crash naked out of the blue.

Your writing may feel block'y lately (to you, not to moi), but your photography is JUICY! This picture is gorgeous. By the by, Eckhart called and said to tell you that if you never wrote another word, it would in no way diminish your Presence.
Don't let those writing "should's" boss you around (said the pot to the kettle). Yer pal -- Isabel

This too shall pass, my friend.
I haven't had an entire tough day in quite a while ... moments, yes. And during those moments, I need to get into conscious contact mode. Even the abbreviated prayer of "help me, please" works wonders.

Ah Miss Carla Dear.............you are circled by all the Good Goddesses who have stood where you are/were and hold you with the highest esteem.
This too shall pass......hold on gently.......then let go!
Much love,
Bonnie

Is there anything we, your readers, can do to help?
Posted by: Anonymoose | Wednesday, April 30, 2008 at 08:57 PM
Boy, I hate those days too! I'm my own Boss also so I can just walk away and take care of me! What a great feeling!
That day is over now and I hope all is better for you. . .

Have you ever watched Ace of Cakes? For some reason while reading this post that show popped into my head. It is fun to watch!
