With all the CPSA worries finally behind me (for now), and a gorgeous new studio to work from in my home, I am anxious for 2009 to be underway. I have some exceptional new designs both for little girls and ladies to offer this year. The shows will start for me in April. So, stay tuned for details.
In the meantime, I want to say something that I have wanted to get off my chest for quite some time....2008 was an emotional year for me with this business. I was burned by someone close to me and have had to cut them out of my life. This was a difficult decision, at the time. But, I have found it's exactly what I needed to do to stay focussed on my growing business and demanding family. As I look back I realize that, no matter how much I give of myself, there will always be those there to take. No matter how positive I am, there will always be those to point out the negative. No matter how hard I try to see the good in people, deep down, some people are just plain cruel. So, for 2009, I vow to ONLY surround myself with positive people. People who make me feel good to be around them. People who understand me and my passions in life. Not people who are there to bring me down, take from me, hurt me, or turn on me. As a close friend of mine once said, don't let anyone steal your glory. And, I'm feeling pretty darn glorious these days. 2009 is going to be a great year!
