Current music:Jill Scott

Two strange coincidences occurred today.  The first one being nowhere near as significant as the second one, but cool nonetheless.

1.  I was listening to my playlist randomly, and first song that came on was That Thing - Lauryn Hill.  The next song, Killing Me Softly - Roberta Flack.  Neat!

2. I was talking to Rose about her business, and we started talking about what I'm going to do with the rest of my inventory now that I've decided to close up shop at Gutsy Dame.  I got an email on facebook right after from the owner of Maximum Woman, in response to an email I sent her back in November about working out a consignment deal.  I'm so game.  I've been having a difficult time finding the motivation to clear out the rest of my stock, and this is the perfect avenue.  YaYYYY.

Tonight is the first meeting of the Evolution Group--a class I enrolled in in an effort to make some changes in my life.  I'm really looking forward to it.

I was talking to a friend online who has never heard of Jill Scott, and I was in shock!  She is, in my opinion, the queen of neo-soul and one of the most poetic and beautiful women on earth.  I sent him an email of links to video's of some of my favourite songs, and I thought I'd post it here as well.

You got me - The Roots feat Jill Scott
The following three songs appear on her latest album, The Real Thing and in the following order, they tell a fantastic story.
Come See Me
Crown Royal  (this is the sexiest song I've ever listened to)
Epiphany

Enjoy!

I never actually made an announcement. I realize I should, I just didn't think anyone still read my journal! Hehe. It is a really hard time to be self employed in retail, especially online with a niche like plus size, and especially going into a recession. I'll just have to find another avenue to help people feel good about themselves!

I hear. I am in pretty much the same boat- but my niche is thankfully a little larger and I can make up the difference in repairs.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do next.

Aw, sad! Sorry to hear that but I totally understand.
I totally feel the effects of the economy problems right now. I'm trying to just make it through it. It's not like you have to close it forever, maybe later if you want to come back to it you always can.
Wishing you all the best on what you choose to do! I'm sure you will be amazing at whatever that is. I admire your strength and I know you are meant to be doing great things!
