(studio re-construction...actually this picture was taken a couple of weeks ago...construction should be done this week!!!)


This is going to be a bit of a ramble. Sorry.

I very much struggle with the business-side of running my own business. The financial insecurity scares the bejeezus out of me. I frequently struggle to pay my bills. It is a roller-coaster. And I just don't know if I'm cut out for it.

The problem is, I wouldn't know what else to do. Go back to being a health food store grocery buyer? Go back to school and hope for scholarships to get me by? (What the hell would I study?)

I think the truth is that I just don't have the stamina and discipline to get it done. I just want to make stuff. I don't want to have to do the selling, too. I know what I need to do, I'm just a baby about doing it. Why?

Does the part of the brain that doesn't want to diet, the same part that doesn't want to do any marketing? Where is the motivational area of the brain located and what happened to mine?

Anyone?

for the animals.



Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary has an amazing opportunity to expand their facilities. They only have until the end of the week to raise the money they need for this, so please help quickly if you are able. Please help the animals by helping this wonderful sanctuary.
To donate, please visit their site or go here.


Dear Friend of Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary,
We have an incredible opportunity to expand the sanctuary by 35 acres and to acquire a 4000 square foot home that will be converted into an Education Center and volunteer / intern housing and B&B for sanctuary visitors.

This kind of capital improvement to the sanctuary is 10 years overdue -- but we now have the opportunity to purchase the property for $100,000.00. Thanks to one VERY generous benefactor, we've already raised $70,000.00!!!

We need to raise the other $30,000.00 before the end of the week in order to make a cash offer on the property.

Another family has placed an offer and, due to the Agricultural zoning, they will have to use the land to enslave and exploit animals.

Please help us stop it before it starts, while simultaneously expanding the sanctuary and our ability to care for and advocate for countless more victims of the egg, dairy, flesh producers and consumers.
Time is of the essence - if you are able to contribute to this, please let me know right away.

Thank You!
Michele Alley-Grubb
