Loved listening to this episode! Karen I didn't know you were a crafter. For a while I also had booths at craft shows selling items that I made from recycled sweaters. My business name was SweaterTherapy. I loved it!

This may be a busy week for you and you might be dealing with a lot of stresses, but all of these are blessings! Despite everything, you should still be thankful because these meetings will bring fruitful schedules and commitments on you. You are about to deal with people who work in Eriboll Harbour Project, that should make you even more excited! If I were in your position, I would love to cram and all!
