God knows just when I need to hear some encouragement. I was in a networking event this evening and one of the people I was paired with for speed networking was someone I've connected with twice previously (once on one of the networking events and once because I scheduled a 1-1 with her); she said to me, "Andrea, I want to say kudos to you. I've been seeing your activity [on social media] and the pro tips you’re sharing, and in the [networking] group. It’s great. You seem very comfortable in the niche the Lord has put you in. I see your heart is to be a blessing and a source of support to other businesses." I hardly said anything in those 7 minutes! But I got to hear a ton from her -- we were both blessed by it. Don't underestimate your impact, especially when you don't know who is lurking and watching!

God is good, honestly! It's been 3 weeks since God changed my path. First 2 weeks were scary - NGL. However, God has truly done amazing things during this period. I'm learning to Trust God in what he has for us. I'm learning to not let fear/anxiety control my path. I'm learning to lean on connections and friends for support. We started this group! God is amazing! We have such great opportunities and future when we trust him. That's my thoughts for today! Praying for each and everyone of you today!

Prayers for my personal health. I could go into a laundry list of things, but it's been a struggle since my 2nd pregnancy. My baby is 9mo and I am feeling so ready for new issues to stop popping up, the current one being a bad rash around my mouth that comes and goes (hormonal? Food sensitivity?) I am trying to get to the root cause of. In the meantime, it is painful and looks awful sometimes too, which is making me struggle with confidence in-person networking and photos for online content (online networking still feels mostly easy enough thankfully due to lighting I can usually partly hide it). Prayer for wisdom to know the right next step and patience in the waiting. I've had headaches the past 3 days as well that I need to figure out why... sigh.

Well, was not really planning on saying this, but the call today hit me, so I am just going to say it. When the verse was read from Ecclesiastes, I almost cried honestly, which was not nice right before I was going to walk into a meeting haha. Anyway, yeah, praying that I can find a wife. I have an amazing family that I am super close with and they are really supportive. However, having someone here that we can support each other is really important to me, and on top of that being a dad has always been my dream. So yeah, that is what I want even more than my business being successful. Obviously I want that too, but you know.

During AI Goggles meeting I got a call and had to send uncle to ER. They will be transferring to another hospital in St Augustine - kidney/bladder/ cardiac assessment but won’t have confirmation until the morning. But THIS is why I need to get my online business working as I will be missing visits for my daytime Ot job tomorrow… keeps it real on the importance of it getting things going! Was loving what I was hearing during the meeting. Will have to go back and listen to it on “Terri speed” …listen, rewind, listen again! lol
