I decided yesterday on my 101 list to take up the offer of selling my jewelry at a local boutique.  It’s a little scary and exciting and definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone, but it feels good.

At the same time there are always the self-doubts that creep in.

“what if nobody buys anything”

“what if nobody likes my stuff”

But honestly, people HAVE bought my stuff before and a good few of them were even people I didn’t know, so it wasn’t just pity friend and family purchases lol.  And what’s more … *I* like my stuff.  I like making things, I like making people smile and I love watching people glow and feel beautiful when they wear something I’ve made.

So today I had to go to Trader Joe’s.  I wanted to get some extra exercise (having just come from the gym LOL)  and I wanted to check out the bread company next to the Starbucks.  So I drove around and parked in a spot that is not usual for me when I go to Trader Joe’s…and who should I park next to?  Yes, the car I parked next to belonged to the woman who owns the boutique.  (she has a sign on her car for the shop).

And then I forgot to buy something for a dish I’m making tonight, so I stopped at Whole Foods on my way home and my checker’s name was Forrest…which also happened to be my dad’s name. And his tag said “I am here to help”. 

These were great “signs” that I’ve made the right decision. Even if it brings me nothing in the end financially it is bringing me a lot in experience and adventure.

(and I also got to cross off one of my things on the 101 list too)
