Where have I been?

Its been a Looooong week. I’ve been in a training seminar most of last week, and have been at work everyday so far this week.
To boot, I’ve got Bronchitis, and have totally and completely lost my voice. I’ve been told that’s its quite sexy , so I’m thinking I’ll start charging people to talk to me. A little extra money doesn’t hurt!
Speaking of extra money.
I handed out flyers last night for my photography. Before 7am this morning I had a session scheduled for Friday. (funny thing is, is that it wasn't even one of the people that took a flyer... It was a float pool nurse at work!, she was leaving her shift this morning and as she was leaving stopped at the desk and asked "which Jessica is it that does photography?" I said "that's me!" She'd seen my pictures! and wants her babies picture taken)
Anyway
From this seminar I went to, I experienced an amazing breakthrough in self confidence. I was able to stand up on a chair with a microphone and announce to a room full of more than 100 people last night that I am a talented photographer and would love to provide my service to anyone in need of pictures.
I had made 20 flyers and within ½ hour they were all out of my hands.
The experience of the training was just amazing. I had been resistant to it for two years and had finally decided that I had nothing to lose. Boy if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have wasted the last two years resisting. But then again, one of the things I have come to realize is that there are no accidents. I was meant to attend this very training this time, because I connected with so many people and was able to experience specific situations and feelings. I experienced things that in turn helped me to break down many of the walls that I’ve built in my life.
Trust
Confidence
Acceptance
Judgments
Emotions……….
It feels amazing. And I’m so glad I got to do it.
I’m continue the training next week, and from what I hear it’s even more amazing.
Now don’t any of you go getting your panties in a twist I get the feeling some of you may be a bit skeptical. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it, and Don’t think you have an opinion of it unless you know exactly what you’re using to judge it. (Which you wouldn’t be able to, unless you’ve been through the training). That said. Be happy for me. It’s working.
Onto other things.
The girls have been gone since last Thursday. I am counting down the hours until Friday morning, when they come home.
This is the last of the “summer split up” YEAH!!!
Mattie is sick too. Poor Baby boy…
