Hi hi,
Getting back into a routine and it feels good! This week...
I. Excited to have scheduled a call for next week with a woman who had been a sales rep for our family's company for years and since has founded a wonderful beauty line at Target. She kindly agreed to meet with me to go over Otho and some other things, it took a few follow ups to get the meeting scheduled and I cannot wait for it!
II. Followed up on the emails I'd not gotten back to while I was mentally taking a break to enjoy the shift to preschool in our family. Realizing next time I'll set an 'out of office' reminder even when I'm not on vacation technically so that I don't have the 'need to follow up' feeling mentally and am communicating clearly.
III. Sent out my first Otho email on my own! Instead of trying to make something as good as it could be (dreaming of one a monthly email reminiscent of Jean Godfrey June's infamous Beauty Closet article), realizing starting where I'm at and being willing to grow into what I hope to be is where I need to start. Not as fancy, but full of good content and lots of room for pretty improvements.

IV. One personal one - started back up at our BSF Women's Bible Study last week and I truly love it. I've never 'studied' the Bible more and after being there for several years am understanding how sweet community truly feels. Seeing the same people routinely, whether its daily or weekly or monthly or even yearly, feels so darn good. It feels good to know people and see them, in person, over time. Thankful for that!
