Let\u2019s face it already:  I never anticipate setbacks.  I am so forward driven.  I mean, yes, I am aware that setbacks happen but somehow convince myself, despite evidence otherwise, that they won\u2019t happen to me.  Then setbacks happen, I feign surprise, and plow forward some more.  Naive?   Probably.  And I am kind of grateful for my optimism.  I mean, without that this journey would be unbearable.  I would also be unbearable to spend any time with.  \u2018Cuz I know those people.  Ha!<\/p>\n<p>So, what is forward now?  On Monday I will release to the world a revamped promotion for WeatherVane\u2019s loan program.  It will be viral-friendly, easily shared.  It will have a new rendering of the store at the North Main Street location.  I also need to follow up with the St Croix Economic Development Fund to see if they can help with any of the $50,000 that I need to raise.  There is also a WeatherVane Creamery Advisory Team Pow Wow to plan.  And for fun, I am starting to plan my \u201cSarah Kowal- Cheese Hustler\u201d video series.  Oh yes, you heard me right.  Yes, indeed.  Sit tight for that one, my friends.  And lastly:  Everything. Is. Going. To. Be. All. Right.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had some setbacks this week that I wasn\u2019t anticipating. Let\u2019s face it already: I never anticipate setbacks.
