Dear GOD,


I don't know what your plans are for me,  but I'm excited about whatever it is.


Thank You

The Voorman Problem

Not in this life

but in my next life, If I'm lucky, this song will be playing in the background when I ask my love if she would please spend the rest of her life with me, as my wife

Sometimes, out of reach

 


“My eyes closed, hands open, Take it, take it. Then, every day wasted chasing it.”

― Laura Kasischke, Space, in Chains

Once this is over,

and when it's much safer to travel,

and we don't have to practice social distancing any more,

I intend to go to Mc Minnville to visit friends and their baby,

then Wisconsin to visit my mom,

but my vacation will be Toronto Ontario Canada.

I'm hesitant to take PTO time though,

because I'm actually trying to move back to Wisconsin. 


How about you?


Where do you plan to travel to, once its safe to do so?

Amel Larrieux - Try Your Wings

currently reading


 I saw this book at Powell's Books last week, and I had to buy it. 

In the book I read about a woman who likes to bake cookies. She's an executive producer of a pupular youtube channel. She makes an average $2000 a month baking and selling cookies. She said "if you want to sell a food product, start with your family and friends first. They'll be your biggest cheerleaders. Expand out to different networks from there."

Yeah uhhuh. Good for her. 

I've got lots of cheerleaders, I got 2 facebook pages promoting my dessertrs, and almost 1,900 instagram followers. I get likes by the hundreds.  I bring baked goods to every social event I get invited to. I even give away some desserts with the hopes they will want to buy something in the future. I give away handfuls of business cards to people who ask for them.  I promote the hell out of my desserts on facebook with slideshows and facebook stories. I get lots of hearts and lots of "OMG your desserts look and taste delicious! You should start a business." (from the same people who know I have a business and never bought anything)

How many orders do I get per month?


ONE.

regularly, 

from the same person. 


O N E.


Sorry for venting.

Anyway, this is the book I'm currently reading.
