The last part of the year is always so busy, as a mom, add to that a business aspect and it is just pure craziness. I realize that a huge part of that is self-induced, but still. It was so crazy the last quarter of 09 that I was contemplating whether or not to continue my business. My husband says I am a crazy person when I am under a deadline, because I am a perfectionist (hello kettle, this is pot speaking). I was completely out of balance. I chose the route of a home-based business because my kids, my family is priority number one. I am still making dinner, I am still doing laundry and helping with homework. That balance is much harder to sustain than I imagined.
As I was contemplating whether or not to continue my business, I received a phone call from a reporter with my local paper, wanting to do a little blurb on me and what I do. Now, this reporter, Carolyn Shapiro had tasted my chocolates last Easter, nearly 9 months ago! I was so flattered that she held on to my card for that long, keeping me in the back of her mind like that. I don't believe that coincidences are just coincidences, I listen to them. I trust my instincts, they have gotten me this far, seeing the connections and the coincidences have lead me some amazing places.
I am really thankful for the response I have gotten in the few days since the article. I will keep on plugging away with the chocolate. I have a few events coming up, not just chocolate selling, but a few classes as well, which I am very excited about.
So now, it is time for me to start replenishing my chocolate stock, look for new products and develop new recipes, my favorite part! I am honored by everyone who supports me, who believes in me and all those ladies that say my chocolate is foreplay! Hopefully I can keep everyone interested in 2010!
