Hi everyone!
So sorry it took me so long to get back here!
Last time I wrote, I'd issued myself a challenge to
bring up my Etsy shop listings from 67 to 100 within a month. Though not
exactly as planned in timing or otherwise, I’m still very pleased to say I now
have 102! Yay me!
I also have to say, there was a time when I might
have focused on the fact that I didn’t follow the precise criteria of the
challenge. I’m happy to report, that time has passed! These days, life is full
of challenges. Hurdles get placed along the path all the time. Being able to
navigate the unexpected and be flexible enough to know when and how to alter
the path to still make it to the finish line, can, and should, be taken as a
huge success. I want to savour all of my successes no matter how small. I can
reach faster and higher the next time…
So, today I sit here with tons more ideas floating
around in my brain for new ways I can dare myself to go further. There are so
many directions I can take it’s difficult to know which would be the most
appropriate for the moment. I know I’ve spent time before spinning my wheels
and feeling overwhelmed by the volume of possibilities. Maybe I’ll sit
with it a bit longer! In fact, gathering the necessary information in order to make
educated decisions takes time. Learning to see it as 'valuable time spent' as
opposed to time wasted 'getting nothing done’ is a lesson I'm still working on!
I hope you’re all basking in your own successes or
otherwise patting yourselves on the back for continuing to make an effort in
the face of all of life’s challenges!
Happy Weekend!
Aimée
(I’d like to dedicate this entry to the memory of a dear and special man
who unexpectedly passed away last month, and to my beautiful friend, his wife,
and their children who are bravely meeting the challenges that every new day
brings them. Much love, A)
