OT (sorta?) It's happening again!

Holy cow... I did not expect TWO WEEKS in a row of this, but it's been
just like last week... orders coming in like crazy! OMG! And requests
for teaching... I am just floored. I *really* want to know what
happened... it's like something reached critical mass! I have never seen
my website so bare, LOL!

Thank you, everyone here who has ordered from me! And everyone who
hasn't, but has given me your awesome encouragement and moral support!

Quantum Leap Theory :-)

I've always found that's how my business grows, too. Some un-asked-for
advice: It can be very exciting, but make sure you say "no" when you
need to, and don't overestimate your resources or capabilities
(time-wise). Don't overextend yourself. Schedule in time for Moxley
and the rest of the family no matter what.

Other than that... FULL SPEED AHEAD! Weeeeee! You rock, Kalera! It
couldn't happen to a more deserving person, IMO!

Thank you, Tink! That's really good advice, and some I could certainly
stand to put into use. I'm terrible about just working all the time.

OMG, Kalera! I just read your three posts and can't believe it. No,
I can, I can. What goes around, comes around and it's your turn to
reap the good. I'm so happy for you darling!

And guess what? I just spent a lovely hour with a new customer who
was quite taken with a bracelet I bought from you eons ago and I just
happen to be wearing for our meet. G She wants me to make her one
using your glass beads, any beads with color. Ha! I have lots and
lots of those, don't I? hehee And she's given me free reign to
design 4 bracelets for her daughter and 3 nieces using fresh water
pearls and clear swarovski® crystals that belonged to her mother.
Weeee! I think some of your good vibes are rubbing off on me. Maybe
I should sleep with your beads. LOL

WOW! Cool beans, Margie! Your designs are so good, it seems inevitable
that you will be in demand. And maybe... (whispering) the market's
turning around? I'm not holding my breath until after the election, but
.... ?

Aw shuckin's, thank you for the compliment, Kalera.

I won't hold my breath either, instead I'll just enjoy the moment.

Well, the first week could have been a fluke. But after a second week, I
think you can be pretty sure it's because you deserve it. And people beyond
our group are figuring it out.
