always good to see carol. Always.

Money makes people ugly sometimes. I love that my parents made sure that I know that it's a means to an end, not an end. Those "If someone offered you a million dollars to..." questions were never, actually, a question. If anyone offered me X amount of dollars to do something, the answer is always No. As long as it's compromising my values. Money is just something we decided was valuable along the way. Those pieces of paper are convenient when you want to buy a car, or pay rent--and don't get me wrong, I appreciate the value of money. It took me years to understand that money isn't something to be shunned. But, in the end, your life is what you make of it. It's the friends, family, the Passion that makes your life. Not the checking account.

I thank God that I have a sense of business. I never took myself as a business woman, but I do have a knack for it. Because what we're going into needs a good business mind, which it didn't have before--as I'm learning. I'm thankful that I've had really excellent teachers along the way. It's funny how life prepares you for life. This art space, as I've heard from multiple people now, needs a good business mind.

On a different note, I had more, but I need to wind down and go to bed. Bed=calling me.
