\"put<\/a>Big sigh. Here Comes the Sun is playing on Pandora. Perfect. I was just called “salt of the earth” from the other room. Ha!<\/p>\n

So what have I been up to? I’ll tell you what. I have been carrying a heavy To Do list that feels like it has the weight of the two tablets that the Ten Commandments were written on. I have a fund raising campaign that was supposed to start a month ago. I have people wondering what is going on. All the while I have been working on driving costs down and getting information to the banks. My sister isn’t returning my calls. I’m broke. <\/p>\n

The campaign. To be so close to the finish line- let me tell you that this is the hardest part so far. The goal is in reach. I currently have a loan application in for $30,000 of the $50,000 that WeatherVane needs. And Tasha Burilini-Olson put in $5,000 for people to match. I have multiple people on my list to initiate and follow up with for the $5,000 loan program. So…. in…. reach…. <\/p>\n

And suddenly the vastness of this opportunity sets in. Hey, here is a chance to raise MORE than needed. A chance to engage the community and expand the reach. I could do another indiegogo campaign, make more videos, get press, overhaul the website, oh my! I have been talking to every internet marketer that I know and have gotten connected with many that I don’t know. Some have too much on their plate. Even more don’t think they can do the campaign justice with their skill set. And while I appreciate this, I would hedge a bet that they have more in their tool bag than I do in mine. And my internet marketing skill set has gotten me this far. It’s time to kick it up a notch! This is the sort of investment that pays for itself. <\/p>\n

So there’s that. And now back to that To Do list. Why do some of those names of people to call look so daunting? Why have I been dragging my feet? Have I been depressed? Am I taking on some personal issues to distract and sabotage myself? Do the planets have to align right? Should I give myself a little compassion for being the one who forges forward, albeit with heavy boots and slow movements? <\/p>\n

Screw that. Or maybe there’s some truth to all of it. All I know is that today I woke up and those phone calls are getting made. I have joy in my heart and a skip in my step. The Beatles are playing my song and the birds are chirping. Forward! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
