Seller woes.

It's been a while since I've had the time to write anything. Today, I find myself consumed with anger for the problems one of my customers has caused me. I started the new year with a great attitude and the goal of forgiveness and all that entails. But being "nice" sometimes gets mistaken for weakness, which in my case isn't the truth. I've always stood up to whatever hurdles come my way, while still trying to be nice. In business, it seems to be more of a challenge because there are so many things to consider before lowering the proverbial boom on someone.

I suppose it's a matter of balance, like in life. I'm dealing with an issue from an EBay customer which is now causing me stress and personal hardship. The fact that I'm still dealing with auto accident injuries, and an injured hand, just makes it more poignant. It doesn't help that last night I stressed myself trying to install a new bed frame and then flip/turn my big mattress by myself. I actually got stuck under it for quite a while, not realizing that my strength isn't what it used to be. I originally told my Bowen therapist that it's going to be a longer recovery because I can't not do what I need to do, and I needed to fix that bed. It has been causing me to loose much needed good sleep since I'm healing from all this stuff. Tonight I will find out if all that effort last night was worth it.

I'm headed to the studio to clean and photograph custom beads for an amazing designer. This particular request was quite a challenge since there are so many color combinations in the K_Blue color scheme and this time she requested it in silver mesh which actually challenged me to keep the look, but in a different design. I made several choices for her and the rest will be available on my website. They all came out very nice, just different.

Anyway, I'm hanging in there and hopefully will be able to update more often, as soon as all this extra "stuff" resolves itself. It has to, I want to get a rep very soon. I do have someone in mind, I just need to approach them at the best time for both of us.

Take care and let's get this party on the road with an exciting, successful and happy 2012...!!!

Until next time,

Vickie
