Wisconsin, Misfortune and the Rise Towards Prosperity

I love new experiences, but I dislike the actual act of traveling. When I was asked to lecture in Wisonsin I was excited to see a new area and meet new people. But I absolutely dreaded the trip. Traveling with my love Sparky is always an endevour in of itself. He gets frustrated, moody and stressed to the max. But this time he seemed to be much better. I, on the other hand, ended up with a major headache and some sort of allergic reaction that I've yet to determine. I was miserable.
I was also stressed about presenting to a whole new group of people in an area I had never visited before.
Even with all this, I will say that the experience was wonderful. When we first arrived at the event we were greeted with hugs from total strangers, kind conversation and were catered to as though we were celebrities. Everyone was absolutely wonderful! While I was suffering physically I have to say that the time spent with those kinksters in Wisconsin was just amazing.
My presentation went very well. The room was packed and everyone had great questions and was very interested in what we had to say. I do hope to be invited back to the event again.
When we returned, things began to take a turn for the worse. Slowly, and without any explanation, things in our home started to break - one after another. Our washing machine, our microwave, My laptop, etc. Also, My work hours got cut so there wasn't money to pay the cable or gas bill - so no stove, no hot water, no phone, no cable and no internet!! It was.... dismal!! I almost felt defeated, but not quite. Now, slowly we're working our way back to getting everything in order again.
I started doing more professional sessions and have some wonderful new clients. I was also able to get a new laptop (brand new, for the first time in years!!) and as a business investment it's helped Me to keep online and make new session arrangements. I was also able to do a hypnosis session - something I haven't done in quite a long time but it was very successful and so enjoyable.
Things are looking up. I'm coming back into "being" after a horrible slump.
I think that the problem with blogging is that so many things happen and I need to choose what to write about. There is so much more to say, but for now this will suffice. Perhaps if I get in the practice of writing every day it will be easier for Me.
