I SUCK as a gift giver…well, last yr at least.

WOW, you know you have too much on your plate, and perhaps that your last year was ‘beyond overwhelming’, when you give one of your best friends her birthday gift in January when her birthday was the previous JUNE!!!

And to make things worse, I have actually seen her a few times between June and now but always had too much going on in my head to ever remember to actually bring her gift and card with me. Uugghh, brutal!! Bad bad Friend and BRUTAL self-proclaimed ‘gift giving expert’! Sorry JillyBean!!

But I promise in 2015 to be/do better! It has already started out much better and I am actually starting to feel like myself again. Alil more energy, alil more business focus and alil more mental grounding than I have had in over 13 mos. And hold the phone… think I am going to get to the gym this week. Doris and my man have inspired me!! Both are doing incredibly well in this area and I definitely need to get there. One day at a time…

This month, I spent some amazing time with one of my favourite US mixed media artists, Donna Downey (sadly, no Bill(her husband and delight in his own right) this time, he was off selecting fabric for Donna’s new line) as well as had some great nights out with friends and am finally getting some good quality time with the man. FINALLY, been too long for them all. As I look back on everything that was accomplished last year for ‘the store’ not my store but ‘the store’ I vow to you that I will NEVER go full -time again.
