Simply Beautiful by Sheela

Although I’m on a professional hiatus from my consulting business, I’ve found myself in a whirlwind of activity surrounding my new business venture.  My day was super busy and a little stressful, but I enjoyed the challenges. It low-key felt good to be making the hard decisions again 🙂 Last week, I was in Miami to test product samples and that was a bit of a disappointment. So, I’ve got to start that process over. I’ve decided that is would make more sense to find a chemist closer to home to develop the actual product, and it allows me to have a more involved role in the process. So, that’s that…

Family

My family is going to Ireland in June. My family being, my parents, grandparents, several cousins, and few aunts and uncles – my included. I’m super excited, because I’ve not been since I was a wee girl (in my granny Ó Brien’s voice). My grandparents immigrated to America as a young newly married couple and have only traveled back to the island three or four times since leaving. It will be my greatest honor to be on what they’ve said is the last pilgrimage back. I’ll be well acquainted with my new camera by then, so I hope to take the most amazing photos of an epic family vacation.

Other

I’ve been asked to consult on a number of projects and mulling through those as I write this. One of the projects that excite me the most, is the one located in Washington, D.C. It’s being sponsored by a well-appointed NYC family. I don’t how my name got thrown in the mix, but I’m really happy about it. Success in this business can be tenuous, so It’s always an honor when people know your name and request your services.  The project will take me away from home for a couple of weeks, but it’ll be worth it. These are the moments art consultants live for.

I’m exhausted, so I’m about to climb into bed and finish season three of ‘Orphan Black.’ If I’m awake long enough, maybe start season four.
