A Big Road Block
Hello Ladies,
Well, today is not my day...all the positive thinking and acting "as if" has not yet paid off. I received a call from the Cal Coastal loan guy and they're not going to fund my loan. There are a couple of problems with the loan as he sees it, the biggest being that he just doesn't think a bead store would make it here. As he said "I've seen many craft and hobby stores come and go here, they just don't seem to make it." Of course he's talking about Ventura, and he doesn't realize there are at least 4 bead stores in his area alone that are making it! So it seems many of these decisions are subjective, they don't know much about the business but are out there making judgments about whether or not a business will succeed. There are other problems with the loan, no real collateral, but if I had that I would have gone to a regular bank...so I'm not really sure what the purpose of these other loan program is??
I'm sorry if I'm sounding resentful and angry...I am! But I'm sure I'll get over it. I just needed to rant a little, feel sorry for myself, feel like a loser, then hopefully move on and get some other ideas. For now though I'm just going to wallow in self pity for a couple of hours.
Thanks for listening. See you all in a couple of weeks.

Checking in
Hi Ladies!
I readily admit to being technologically challenged, and this is proof. I tried to add my goals to the two already posted, and so far have only succeeded in adding three comments (all of which are exactly the same) to them. If anyone can shed light on how to get my goals to actually be added to what is shown there, that'd be great. Otherwise, I'll just add a new post.
Also, I'm checking in with y'all to see how you are getting along in life and with your business. My MacMini has been "at the doctor" all week after a big crash; my dear husband has set me up to be able to access all of my files on his computer, so production has not suffered. In fact, today I'm feeling some sense of relief, as much has been completed and now it is just the straggling bits and pieces that need to be done. Whew!!!
I'm enjoying the beauty outside my studio window, the birds singing and the sun shining on the leaves. I have a huge crop of white iris blooming--they make me smile. Sometimes it is the tiniest things in life that bring joy to the heart.
I'm wondering how Luciana did at the Women's Festival last weekend! Any reports?
Love to each of you amazing women!
