So, we all know I've been trying to make a go of my face painting as an actual business here in NYC. Last weekend I had super high hopes, but the weather was completely awful and dashed my dreams. I was extremely discouraged and upset. Making your own business is hard - one of the hardest things I've ever done. But I realized I would still rather have been sitting there at the festival in the rain, trying my darndest to make my dream come to life, than working for someone else where I wasn't completely happy. We only live once - shouldn't we at least pursue happiness? Not just let ourselves sit back and settle into something that isn't what we truly desire just because it's "easier"? I think so. At least I'm going to keep pushing. I KNOW there's a living to be made with my painting skills, here in NYC of all places.
This time last week I had planned a really fantastic new post - great topic, bullet points, lessons learned, motivation, etc. etc. A real Hoo-Rah post. Yeah. Shoulda wrote it at the time, 'cause it's a week later, and I can't even remember what I did yesterday morning. Wah wah.

There's been a massive lack of posting lately because I've been so busy. Which is a good thing for my life, but I do miss writing and pretending that people actually read and care about these posts ;P I've barely been cooking, so no pictures or new recipes to share, either. In fact, before my foray into the rain yesterday down to the meat market for some chicken, I'd eaten popcorn and had Soju Cokes for the previous 2-3days. Yeah. Like I said, I've been busy.
