to retail or not to retail...


i had to have yet another horrible conversation with someone i respect due to the nature of my business. is every business heartless? am i supposed to be? i cried during the conversation and SHE comforted me. i don't think that there is a job that is perfect, but i do know that i'm good at what i do. i know that there are moments that i love being at work. i actually love making coffee for people, finding music and giving a child a book. someone called me a "workaholic" the other day. i laughed because i know that it's true. anyone i've ever worked with would agree with that statement. until i can make my way out of retail, i'm going to try to focus on what a really good friend taught me a long time ago.

life is an adventure.

you only work so you can have a life, not the other way around.

a new friend reminded me...things happen for a reason.

Hey!
So sorry that yesterday was a bad day. I agree with your friend that we work to live, not live to work. I know a couple of people who's jobs dictate their lives and I feel for them. I make family and friends priority. I'm good at what I do, but I know where to draw the line.

I am a firm believer in the saying, "What does not kill us makes us stronger."

Hang in there! All that you are going through now is in preparation for something big and wonderful in the near future.

Believe in yourself!
