Well that fell apart quickly

-

 I said yesterday that I was not going to make things all weekend, then immediately sat down and designed and cut a bunch of Hawaiian quilt keychains. Seriously???? I did get some of my class stuff done and that was good, but I quickly became overwhelmed. There are a lot of moving parts to this whole thing and I need to take a step back and regroup. So my Etsy shop is up and running, yeah. I think I need to just roll with that for a little bit until I get other things in play. I need, need, need to get my Shopify store open and producing. So I think I need to sit down today and determine my priorities. I have a lot to do, but which one will I get the most bang for most quickly needs to be determined. 

So, I think my #1 priority is to attract customers to my mailing list and to my shop. So I'm going to work on that first. See, that immediately leads to other things that should be done first, like getting my Shopify store ready. I want to be able to send them to both so they have the choice. But Shopify is just not ready yet and I need to make it ready. So, I could do this. I need to get my email list sign up out there and I need to get some folks on my email list. So I should start there. I should design a couple of things so folks can sign up for my email list. 

Okay, I just did that. I had been working on something to post, I just went for it. Done is better than perfect. I have to remember that. Whenever I get unsure of myself, I think things need to be perfect. They don't. And you know what, I'm going to work on my Shopify store today. I have neglected that thing for months and months. It's time to get it back in action. I need to control my own destiny and Etsy is not where it's at. 

Okay, just doing something makes me feel strong and in control. I'm going to work on Shopify today while I do laundry and I'm going to do my best and I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Yeah, I feel good about this. Time to take action instead of just floundering around.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
