I opened our accounting program "Quickbooks Premier Accountant Edition" and read the word accountant as abundant! I like that... I'm ready to hear the whoosh of flowing abundance through our business, and the resulting upkeep of things we've had to put on hold in our personal lives. I'm ready for the recession and rumors of recession to ease up. I think that if our economy weren't choking, our business would be growing. As it is, it's holding steady on. So, I really can't complain.

I'll get to work on our abundant edition and keep doing my best. I can't help but think these are the times people tell about when they have "made it" and others think it came easy. I like to think that because it makes me think we'll make it.

And either way, with or without a future in Tioli's, we'll make it. We already have. There is a constant stream of joy in doing our business that pays far more than monetary gains. I just looked over to the wall of colored pencils, and someone has set up our wooden lizard manikin to do a back flip hand stand. Our shop gives us reasons to smile, to be happy, to work on maintaining relationships in our community and to go ahead with our dreams.

Tioli's put me on so many learning curves, I realize now that I'm always going to be a beginner. And I'm okay with that.
