SCORE!

...and I don't mean last night's amazing Padres score.

SCORE... "Counselors to America's Small Business --is America's premier source of free and confidential small business advice for entrepreneurs." Today, I had the bonus of attending a SCORE business workshop at IKEA. I had no idea that something like this existed (oh, if only I had known of this group six years ago before or as I began at PCRS. At the very least, we would not have signed on for that copier lease. Ah, hindsight). I learned so much today in just two hours; and the online resources and other free workshops are a goldmine for the small business owner and entrepreneur. What a great organization. My attending this workshop is a slice of serendeepity do dah that will help me with Open At The Top and other business potentials. If anyone reading this needs some basic (or advanced) business advice or counsel, please visit their website: www.score.org

It feels like I am in a transitional time in my life. Wanting to wrap things up for my mother and getting her settled so that I am able to devote time and attention again towards gainful employment and creative expression for myself. At the risk of sounding like Matt in "The Fantasticks" I can feel it, shining somewhere. Something new and profound is emerging.
Of course, I am eager to experience it and yet, this time, I seem to be okay with the gestation time. Watching as the little pieces take shape like a mosaic. Is this a by-product of maturity? NAH!

The universe is giving me opportunities to really put into practice the subtleties of the work I do and in practicing what I (used to) preach and what I believe in. Joseph Campbell used to say, "Follow your bliss." Abraham teaches that if something doesn't feel good to you, don't do it. I am learning how to use my Joy-o-meter on a more wide-scale approach even to the more linear tasks and the minutiae of life as well as just the social aspects.

And soon I will be launching and sending out the e-newsletter I have been promising. A wonderful angel is helping me to do the computer and behind the scenes work involved. It is time to take it to the cyber-streets.

Score yourself a great day.
