Stress Never Pays SLOW down

Good Morning Everyone

This is going to be one of those posts you know the ones where you sit at

The keyboard and wonder if you can control your fingers from typing a bit

To much for the world to read LOL

so first I will share that my life has been sort of WELL *out of sorts* for awhile

With new puppies, which by the way is time consuming to care for

Two wedding for two sons one in May and the other in July

regular household chores and errands

The list could go on I will not share that boring part with you

As many of us do in the creative world, we always say we will get an abundance of inventory built up before the holiday season is upon us

YEAH RIGHT.........as if that happens *at least for me LOL*

So the busy part of the year has already started for me. Wholesale orders are rolling in Regular orders online And now I have commented myself to a Large *REAL large*

Show in November

Can I pull it off "you bet I can" will I make that deadline "I always have"

And by the way for those that are still looking at my wholesale album and planning on making an order please do not let this post stop you

*I have time to get them done and I appreciate all of you business!* I remember when I opened my store I got the keys in may and opened the doors for business the second week of June I only had three dolls done when I got the keys and I pulled it off

I opened with a full shop of goodies, plus during that time painted the shop and

built displays as well

But this morning something hit me......maybe it was the fact that for the first morning

in over 60 days it is actually nice outside even cloudy. Now I love the sunshine but it can stay hidden for a few days It would not Hurt my feelings LOL

Ok back to my situation, lately I was feeling a bit overwhelmed well STRESSED!!!

And then I realized something

WHY???

I stopped everything I was doing And I took a long hot shower

Even took time to put lotion on my over dry body I realized that the more stressed you get the more it is not worth it

And I love what I do it is well worth my time

So in the last hour I have accomplished more then I thought I could

I took a look at everything in a new light and slowed down

*does that make sense, to slow down and get more done*

This morning I was looking at my list of three large orders to get out this week

And the regular etsy and blog orders And wow I am more then on track, I am amazed at myself I am FOCUSED and I am HAPPY!!

*by the way Lynn your dolls are almost done*

I always pick on Lynn and make her wait for things

I had promised to get a picture of Miss Rango up for you a new one

well I had let my business prevent that from happening I just kept looking at her and thinking I don't have time poor little girl needs a bath

Do you let things get you overwhelmed

It is not healthy you know!! It does not make things happen

any quicker and it does not make life simple at all

And it just causes you to forget to Enjoy life in general

So I will give my baby a bath tonight and get her pictures done for all to see

She is going to be in a galvanized tub with a big bow just wait!!

Point of this post

STOP, slow down, enjoy your blessings, and know that

you can succeed in what ever you set your mind to do

Stressing will only cause you pain and heart ache

I hope this helps some of those creative folks out there that

Are feeling the stress of the season

Hugs to all Brenda
