In any business venture, and in life in general, we all need good fortune from time to time. I have had much good fortune in the last few months while starting SoSweet – from chance meetings and opportunities to my friend’s support and kind praise.
My sweet, sweet best friend supports me most. Late night detanglings of thread that’s bound itself up in the sewing machine and fixing the zippers I’ve just broken, to making me a snack when I haven’t left my work table all day, my best friend is at my side offering a hand. Like the perfect assistant or vendor – they just “get it” and know what to do.
When we exchanged our holiday gifts I was overcome by how much good fortune I’d been given this past year. They were not extravagant gifts, nor will they require months of payments to a credit card, but what they were, was perfect. The “get it” kind of gifts -a sketch pad for new ideas, a book of beautiful inspiration, a lovely decorated and monogrammed cup for my favorite indulgence -coffee, and a Maneki Neko – The Beckoning Cat of Japan – a lucky charm so to speak. (most Maneki Nekos are left-handed – hmmm.)
Good Fortune Gifts
