Positives, we are sharing the "American dream;" we know God has blessed us. We have created a unique product that is all ours. We live, eat, sleep and breathe candles, working so hard that we have time for nothing else. Can someone please tell us it is all worth it????? Carole Carole, I am by far not a expert on Business experience. I am very happy for you that you are successful. Although I can't hear your voice but I sense the answer is in your comment above. We all get pushed to perform that we forget the most important thing Ourselvers and time with family and friends. After all we can only pour into others and work so long until our own pitcher reserve is low......low energy, low drive, low you name it Take time for yourself and refuel.... LOL I am not talking about weeks but just even one day with family , friends, or yourself and go out.............. what is your favorite thing to do to unwind... This works for me and I hope you find your encouragement once again and guard it. There is one thing I am trying to keep for myself and that is I work the business not the business working me. I want to enjoy every minute with projects, with people and I hope to keep it that way.. Best Regards to you You have done so well don't loose yourself Brooke
