Happenstance Happens
Honestly, I don’t know why I had to become so sick, but sick I am. So many of you who were not able to attend my “Secret Reveal” party in December have asked me what is going on, what’s the big exciting secret? Well let me try to fill you in on why I am not being mysterious, but that chance took me in different direction temporarily. Right before Christmas I got the flu which turned into pneumonia which turned into taking medicine that invited the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz for a 5 night stay in my stomach.
It’s hard to start a revolution when you feel like you are going to die…and that is just what I am starting, a revolution…I’ll get into more about that in a moment. A couple years back, I worked three days in a row outside during our sidewalk sale. It was over 100 degrees, and I had a terrible case of shingles. That was really rough so I know it takes a lot to bring me down! But when the universe decides it is your turn to stop and do nothing but rest you have no choice you just have to follow the “chance” part of it and go with it, or literally die I guess.
I’ve been bed ridden for 21 days and my shop has been closed down intermittently, which of course is terrifying being on the edge of financial woes is really nerve wracking, especially when you are an artist owned business. Like I said I’ve had no choice only chance and this chance is to trust that something really good does come when you are faced with a yellow brick road in front of you that you had no idea was in your future! I try to remind myself that like my heroine “Dorothy”, there is divine timing in life and delays are in my favor! I remind myself with every uncharted step that I will not go under, that I have support and wonderful customers like you and that I am stronger than I know.
So here is the big reveal. I’ve written and submitted a book proposal to a publisher, yes a real life actual publisher which is exciting and terrifying, and created a beautiful lapel pin that sells for $9.99 which you can purchase here and in our retail shop. With this I’ve also created a movement called Angel with an Edge™. We had an amazing turn out at the reveal party and those that could attend loved my new creation. Watch the wonderful video of some who participated.
I need you and your insights on this journey. I would love your feedback and your opinion is priceless to me! If you would be so kind as to take 2 minutes and fill out our online survey (here’s the thing… it’s anonymous so I won’t know it’s you unless you want me to). I am gathering an army of angels and I hope you will join me as 2015 is not about trying to “better myself” but to embrace my 20% bad and my 80% good and do the brave thing. 2015 is not about a resolution but a revolution!
Angel with an Edge is an army of angels who believe that all souls are equal and that no one is better than anyone else. We don’t all have to agree, but we do have to respect each other as human beings. We are all a ratio of bad and good and we are all trying to do the best we can.
Ready to take flight?
Viva the Angel with an Edge Revolution!
Please join our army of angels because every angel here on earth is on the edge of something, and you are needed now more than ever!
