This afternoon I am having a very hard time focusing. It might have something to do with the amount of candy corns I ate like I’d just experienced sugar for the first time devoured. I am somewhere in-between a sugar coma and why did I do that kinda place right now. Blah! Once upon a time I used candy corns for decorating purposes only and then I ate one. Then two and then I had gone through handfuls. So that is my afternoon. A tummy ache from too many evil candy corns and trying to process the loads of information that I got this morning {keep reading}, this is where you will hear how I was present today!! Let me just say that knowledge is power and networking is a very good thing.
Recently, I was introduced via text to a new local blogger. My friend Lisa {remember the wreath thief customer?} It’s a friend of hers. So anyway, she connected us via the wreath she had just got from me. She was doing a bit of show and tell. How sweet of her uh? Her friend, who’s name is Tracy and her sisters are starting up a site called Made From Pinterest. Tracy is local and her sisters are in Utah and Virginia. I’m a little jealous that there are 3 of them cause somedays I want three people running The Local Honey. Only because I feel like I am “trying to wear too many hats” {As Tracy said this morning}. Anyway, over the course of two hours we swapped bloggy business and even shared some personal {non bloggy} stories. I loved that I was able to meet a new person that lives within my community and who also shares so many of the same interests as me.
So by giving two hours of my time this morning and being present, I was able to not only make a new friend but gain so much information that can only help me in my bloggy business. Plus I feel like I was able to provide her with some information that will help her grow as well. How often do we put off meetings, appointments, etc? Well don’t — stick to them and open yourself up. You never what you will get from them 
Wreath thief…I like the sound of that!
