Grateful!
For the understanding you all have of me HSP and introvert. You understand why I don't' show up as often as I "should". But you get that. I think of you all often. Anytime you post I get notified. So we are always just a few key strokes away. If you are in the US. Wishing you a fabulous Thanksgiving.
Grateful!

Vickie, anything with Charlie Brown and Snoopy makes me smile. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.

Okay, I'll start. On Saturday, November 22nd, I will be showcasing my photo management services at the Yankeetown Seafood Festival (north central Florida). This is an old fishing village right on the Gulf, and residents regularly get flooded out by hurricane storm surges. Our photo and document digitizing services could really help this market. With two-day attendance in the 10,000 range, I will have plenty of exposure. I've done shows before, but this is way too many people for my liking. Still, I'm pulling out all the stops, as it represents a fantastic opportunity to get the word out. So wish me luck! 🍀

@Vickie Griffith Good advice! I'm taking a healthy lunch and protein snacks, and I'll have plenty of water with me. And I won't feel guilty if I need to sit down at some point. I'll let you know how it goes. 😎
Three things I learned about business in the back of a medical transport
I did not know I had riding in the back of a medical transport to the hospital was in my bucket list. Yet, there I was. Long story short I had numbness on the right side of my face went into ER and although the test came back clear they sent me to the hospital for more test. Now as a speaker here is where I would create more tension and draw out the story but I will not do that to you. All the test came back clear or normal. I did not have a stroke. So what did I learn about business in the back of the medical transport? 1. Strap in business can be bumpy. Although the ride was smooth and not hurried. ( no siren sound or lights) Five straps held me in the gurney. I was held in tight. 2. It is okay and enjoy the squirrel moments when your mind wanders. It went like this. “What deep message is God trying to tell me about this? Oh. Look that is the brightest pink truck I have ever seen” “ What should I be learning for this experience? Wow, that palm tree forms the most perfect ball. So high in the air.” 3..Be flexible. Life throws us curve balls. I had to cancel five appointments. And was in the hospital for 27 hours. In the past that would have been a concern of letting people down and not professional (I’ve had a coach who praised one of her team for making sales calls while her son was in surgery. Really! ) Bonus: Ask for help. In the hospital I was consider a fall risk. So I was “locked” down. Nurses called it jail. They had an alarm on the bed that screamed at me to get back in bed and called the nurse. I had to call a nurse to get out of bed to walk to the bathroom. It was uncomfortable to hit that button when I was really capable to go on my own. But there was something comforting about knowing someone would show up for me. What do you need? Ask we can help you get out of “”jail” or If ya need I will break you out!

Vickie, I'm glad you are okay after your "unplanned adventure." And in the midst of it, you somehow had some wonderful insights -- even the "Squirrel!" moment. In retrospect, it sounds like you are finding new ways to take care of yourself. Funny how those lessons unfold, isn't it? Looking forward to seeing you again soon.🌺
How do you shift your mood/energy when you day is not going as you thought.
The previous post discussed how to transition back into the workweek after a few days off. There were many great suggestions. Then that brought up another dissociation point. I would love to hear how you shift your mood/energy when things don't go as you thought they would.

When my day is heading south, I step away from the computer and play with my dog. Or I go water my plants -- something that feeds my soul. That usually helps.

@Vickie Griffith We'll provide essentially the same services. We'll produce high-quality scans of print photos, slides, and negatives. And there will be several ways for clients to share those memories with their families. And yes, we're excited about this new venture. Today, people of all stripes (and ages) are placing more emphasis on experiences rather than "stuff." Our business will support this paradigm shift. Hope you have a great day! 😎

@Vickie Griffith That sounds like a cool photo that's worth restoration. We're working on the business' website, and Mark wants to include some photos he took during his teen years. He's excited to get back into his passion for photography.
