It took all the gumption I have, plus encouragement from both my sisters and my partner, but I did it by golly! I tooted my horn all over the place today. I have been tinkering with an idea for awhile. Rolling around in my mind. Playing with it. But I never let the idea out to play until yesterday. I asked for more time to do what I love which is giving massage. I had to make the request out loud that they allow me to be there another day. The response was fair : we’ll give it a try for a couple weeks for you to prove that it should be done. Well, that was just the opportunity I had been waiting for. But it was gonna take something strange that doesn’t come from me very often. I had to ask for help. I had to write up why my massage is so amazing that more people need to take part in it. That wasn’t the hard part. I love talking about how wonderful massage is. The hard part was asking people to help me get the word out. Asking folks to take a minute of their time to chat with me about how amazing massage is , so that they in turn would help me spread the word.
Good news! I asked and I received ! Everyone was open to listening to me. They could tell how excited I was to talk about what I do. They were more than willing to help me in anyway they could.
So, thank you partner for believing in me. Thank you siblings for your tremendous support. I tooted my horn, and I lived to tell about it.
This risking stuff is working!

I hope the tooting pays off big time so you get to do more of what you love.
you go girl!! truly i say: your gumption (and get up and go) (and inventiveness) (and chutzpah!) are really amazing. the way that you ‘put yourself out there’ with guts and enthusiasm is just very wonderful, and i so so tip my hat to you. you just give entrepreneur a whole new face and meaning: you just carve out your path and ask the next question. i really don’t know if i’d ever have the guts to do this all the way that you do it~~ but you sort of Build This Life with good spirit and color. to you i say: hurrah! keep it up girl~~
