I just finished reading one of my favorite blogs elizabethhouse and I couldn't believe what had happened to her on her Birthday. She had a crazy accident just like the one my husband had in 1996. She wrote in detail the events of the accident and it really gave me chills. The entire time her car was spinning and flipping..yes I said flipping...she stayed in a fetal position the entire time. She believes it was her guardian Angel. I think after you read her story, you will be a believer too..

Hi Theresa,
Thank you for sharing your accident with me.And I am sorry to hear about your father...I lost mine in 1996 and he never got to see my store nor any of my magazine features, so I understand the loss. Never give up with your business! What I learned (the hard way) that "not giving up" doesn't always mean that you just keep going and going. Sometimes, it means that other things in life present a challenge that must be dealt with before we CONTINUE on with our goals...we never stop our dreams, we just place them safely on a "shelf" so we may deal with what life hands us and then when we are ready, we take it off the shelf and continue on. Placing our dreams on a shelf is NOT giving up and we creative, energetic women feel a lot of pressure from friends and "supporters" who expect wonderful things from us and while we are grateful and flattered, we tend to beat ourselves up when we feel we fall short in their eyes or our own. And really, we never fall short, ever...we just our human, with 24 hours, and responsibilities, limited resources and time. And most likely, we acoomplish more in a week than most do in a month. I don't call that falling short. It is so easy for me to look at all that I still have not done, not accomplished or even started and forget all that I have done....we are usually way harder on ourselves than we would ever be on our employees or friends. And I am the Queen of being hard on myself and it is a constant struggle for me to be okay with my dreams being "shelved" now and again. And when you think of it, what items are usually placed on a shelf in the first place? Those things that are precious to us and remind us of wonderful times...so I can't think of a better place to put our dreams than on a shelf when life's demands our time elsewhere for a while.
Many blessings,
Elizabeth
