Say it With Me

Today kicks off the start to Fall fair season, and I need your honest opinion. Is it bad that I was so excited to just sit by myself at a table for three days straight? As a stay at home working mom of a toddler boy, quiet time does not come easy, nor does time alone to actually get work done. Now, ask me again in a few hours and I’m sure the answer will be different. I’ll probably be bored to death, desperately wanting to kiss attack my Maxers, and missing the chaos but for now, I’m enjoying sipping HOT coffee (for once) waiting for customers to arrive. Oh wait! Here they come and want to know my initial feeling about the event (that is THREE full days long)…it’s going to be a bust.
.
As I walked to my booth space today, my eyes were immediately drawn to the beautifully organized, perfect display behind me. I’m talking cohesive color scheme, twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling, curtains draped to make an ideal backdrop and every single stinkin’ (adorable) item tagged and priced in the most eye-catching way. CRAP! I immediately felt defeated. And to top if off, she sells prints, cards and glassware…JUST LIKE ME. I’m not going to lie, my mind started running, and I started panicking thinking about how I could miraculously revive my booth in less than 30 minutes.
.
I recently read “Girl, Wash Your Face” (side note: should book titles be italicized or quoted? Wait, underlined? No clue. Who wants to edit these posts?) by Rachel Hollis, and in the book she writes, “Comparison is the death of all joy, and the only person you need to be better than is the one you were yesterday”. Say that to yourself. Say it AGAIN. I'm saying it to too. I’m so freakin’ guilty. I compared my booth, my business, and my worth to the girl boss right next door. And all it got me was this crummy attitude.

If I could have someone shake me, I would. Heck, scold me, give me a slap on the wrist. Whatever! If you believe that comparison and its sidekick, jealousy, are positive influences to your life, you better start spilling the beans on how because I’m not seeing or more importantly feeling it. You’d be happy to know that my attitude has changed, thank you, Lord! Seriously, thank you. I don’t enjoy being the person I was at 9:30am this morning or even thinking about her. Now, let me share with you a few moments from the day and how these feelings of doubt and jealousy subsided.
.
- Let me ask, have you ever not “liked” a friend’s post about their wedding, weight loss, or new puppy because you were, dare I say it, JEALOUS? I have. I’m not proud of it, but I’ve been there. Did it make me feel better to literally just ignore a proud moment of a friend or family member? Heck no. So, simply ignoring the entrepreneur next to me was not the path I wanted to take. I introduced myself and even purchased something from her! I complimented her gorgeous display and business. She deserved it and guess what? I instantly felt better.
.
- “…it’s going to be a bust,” really, Opal!? The event hasn’t even started. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the average age of my customer is 35, and when I looked around that morning, the average age of guests, surpassed that by about 30 years. This immediately concerned me. Negative thought 176 of the morning: I’m going to have three days of ZERO sales. 1.) It’s not all about sales. But 2.) WRONG! I was so very WRONG! I am blown away by how many 60+ year old women will be looking flippin’ amazing in their Wild & Precious vests and cardigans.
.
- Gratitude. I started reminded myself of all things I need to be grateful for. You guys, I had a customer bring me a Pumpkin Spice Latte today! The weather was gorgeous, the crowd was flowing, the vendors were nice and this momma actually enjoyed the day to herself! I mean, I did attack Max with kisses when I got home, but still! By practicing gratitude you leave more room for love and joy in your heart, and can kick those negative, defeating thoughts to the curb. So, let's do this together, write down FIVE things you're thankful for. Hurry, do it now. Share them with someone, send them to me (seriously, do it), leave it in the comments below (you’ll surely be added to my five things if you do), heck, tweet about it! Do it now, before you continue your scroll...I'll even leave some space so you're not tempted to keep reading!
- Want to know what makes me happier than anything when I go to events? It’s not how many cards I sell or if I book a client for wedding invitations. It’s seeing real, raw emotion when people see my items whether it be a laugh, a smile, or a tear. Most people don’t pickup my “Angel Baby” card, it’s a lot to read and it typically falls towards the bottom half of my card rack simply because t’s more specific of an event. While practically kneeling to reach the card, a woman looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, “this is the most beautiful thing.” I’m tearing up typing that. All I wanted to do was hug her, and I don’t even know her. Maybe she wasn’t even the one who needed the hug most but then I hoped whoever she had in mind for the card would receive the biggest squeeze ever! THIS is why I love what I do. THAT woman and her emotional response to words on a card is enough reason alone for me to be her...forget the sales or for gosh sake, the prettiest booth.
.
And that, my friends, was only day one!
.
So, say it with me one last time, in the wise words of Rachel Hollis, “Comparison is the death of all joy, and the only person you need to be better than is the one you were yesterday”. DON'T forget it.

I never imagined that a cryptocurrency investment opportunity could turn into such a painful experience. I was approached by what appeared to be a professional crypto investment platform. Their website looked legitimate, the representatives were responsive, and they showed me what appeared to be successful client results. Believing I had found a promising investment opportunity, I decided to take the risk. Over several weeks, I deposited approximately $19,000 into the account. At first, everything seemed normal, and I could see what appeared to be profits accumulating. But when I tried to withdraw my funds, I was suddenly asked to pay additional fees. That was when I realized something was seriously wrong. Shortly afterward, the people I had been communicating with stopped responding. Feeling helpless, I searched online for assistance and contacted CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. Their team listened to my story and began examining the information I had provided, including transaction details and communications connected to the scam. According to the recovery team, they were able to trace important information connected to the transactions and assist me in recovering a significant portion of my lost funds. The experience was extremely stressful, but getting help gave me hope when I needed it most. This situation taught me never to trust an online investment opportunity simply because it looks professional. I now understand the importance of verifying every company and transaction before sending cryptocurrency. Contact CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. for your lost funds recovery.

My name is Michelle Tyler, and sharing this is not easy for me, but I believe it might help someone avoid the pain I went through. I lost $637,000.00 to an online scam, and it’s something I never imagined could happen to me.
It started very simply. I met a man while scrolling online. At first, it was just normal conversation nothing suspicious. He was calm, respectful, and seemed genuinely interested in my life. Over time, we spoke more often, and I began to trust him. Looking back now, I realize how carefully everything was planned.
He later introduced me to cryptocurrency and told me how he had been making consistent profits. I didn’t rush into it at first. I asked questions, did a bit of research, and even checked reviews online. Everything looked convincing. Slowly, I allowed myself to believe it was a real opportunity.
I started investing small amounts, and the platform showed profits almost immediately. That gave me confidence. Each time I invested more, the numbers kept growing. It felt exciting, like I was finally making a smart financial move. But when I tried to withdraw my money, everything changed.
There were delays, then excuses, then sudden fees I had to pay before any withdrawal could be processed. At that point, I felt something was wrong, but I was already too deep in. I kept hoping it would work out, but it never did. That’s when the truth hit me I had been scammed.
The emotional impact was heavy. I felt embarrassed, angry, and completely drained. Losing that amount of money is something that stays with you mentally and emotionally.
While searching for help, I came across RIGHTWAYLAW SOLUTIONS. To be honest, I was very skeptical. After what I had been through, trusting anyone again felt almost impossible. But I still decided to try.
From the beginning, they treated me differently. They were clear, patient, and professional. They explained the process step by step and kept me updated. Slowly, I started to feel a bit of hope again.
To my surprise and relief, they were able to recover my funds successfully. I can’t fully describe the feeling it was like getting my life back after thinking everything was lost.
I’m truly grateful, and I don’t take it for granted. If you’re going through something similar, please be careful and don’t ignore red flags.
And from my experience, I can honestly recommend RIGHTWAYLAW SOLUTIONS.
