Working hard..

Ellen and I have been working hard to get ready for the upcoming festivals and perspective clients. We applied for several churches, artisan and craft fairs, health fairs, and a farmers market. We are super excited for the upcoming months and events especially from receiving acceptance for the Telegraph Holiday Fair. This fair is probably one of the largest we will be in this year. Our expectations are high and hopefully all goes well. The fair will be on Telegraph ave in Oakland, CA, very close to where we live. We grew up in Oakland and are familiar with North Oakland and Berkeley. Transporting and getting there will not be a problem at all. One of the few problems we may face is parking. The area has limited parking, we are a little hesitant on bringing too heavy boxes but our lovely sister, Sharon, is supporting us by buying us a dolly. Her birthday is tomorrow and we will be spending time together.

The Fremont festival of Arts is our next spot. This is a weekend festival. We will be there for two days or Ellen and Mary will be there for both days. I will have to sit out for this one. I have to work weekends in San Francisco and the time conflicts with the event. I am considering leaving my work soon to participate more in the events. Times are getting harder. I am thinking of expanding my massage therapy private practice and am searching for a space to rent. Ellen and I are taking classes to assist in our business. I am working hard in my Business and Human Relations, and Quickbook classes. Ellen is improving her designing work with Dreamweaver and Flash classes. Well as an active civil rights leader said " The future belongs to those who prepare" And if not now then when? Ellen and I will be better equipped and our business will be stronger than today.
