How do you picture your VERY BEST day?

As a mother of three boys, my ‘best days’ are always with them.  Since becoming a puppy mom to a Great Dane/Mastiff he needs to be there.  In my mind, my boys (and puppy) are laughing and smiling.  We could be doing anything. That is not really the point. It is a feeling that this is what I am meant to do, be and have around me.  Content and feeling a sense of purpose in life.

I wholeheartedly believe that the feeling of contentment and purpose can crop up while you are on the path you are meant to be on.  It has always been like that for me in my life. This was my experience last night while I was meeting home crafters at the Craft Lake City Holiday Market in Ogden.  The layout was amazing! The crafters were wonderful and the art they created was awe inspiring.  I had a great time connecting with so many of the folks that were sitting behind their tables willing to display and showcase their labors of love. 

I was scared at first. Nervous that this grand idea of ours was going to start tumbling into smoke as we were laughed at or shunned.  You know how all the gremlins and negative thoughts that pop up in your mind can start to run wild?  There was only a moment of that while we walked into the building and started to meet folks. 

As soon as I entered the building, I knew in my bones that this was the moment of purpose that provided me with a sense of peace.  Did everyone love to chat with us, no.  Did everyone fit the concept of what we are creating at My Craft Dealer, no. 

However, everyone was kind, compassionate, and honest with their home crafts. The crafters were receptive to me while I shared the vision of this company that Sandi and I have. I loved each moment.  It was a long evening walking around and chatting with folks. It was amazing to meet people that we might be able to help by expanding their customer reach.  Each time Sandi and I walked to another table, I had a renewed sense that this is the path that we were meant to be on.

I am grateful and humbled to work with these amazing souls.
