As we begin 2011, Kyla, Janice, and I continue to discuss what path or direction do we need to move? We decide that we needed to have different voices and views to help clarify what we do next. It will require us to find 3 - 5 women who have the time and energy to listen to our story, hear about our dreams, and provide their thoughts and ideas to help take Beads in a Box, SFE Jewelry, and Untapped Potential to the next level. It is exciting to dream, plan for and implement new concepts. The difficulty is in the lack of people to take on a part of the dream and make it a reality.
Linda, our special volunteer, followed her heart and is in California with her guy, Gene. We miss her and all she did for us. We want to thank her for her hard work, dedication, and desire to help us reach our goals. Volunteers are vital to the work we do in Community Action and we have many opportunities for people to become involved in the work we do!
Kyla, Janice, and I will have time to visit, dream, and plan next steps as we make our annual buying trip to Tucson. We will have a week to hunt for new stones, new cuts, and findings to create one of a kind jewelry for Beads in a Box. We will be on the hunt for new styles in hand picked jewelry for our SFE Jewelry line. We will also spend time discussing the business; we find that this time with little interruptions is a gift that helps us to focus on beads! When we are in the office or a show there is a constant flow of people, problems, and changes that dictate what we do. It expands what Kyla calls my "popcorn" approach" which is I jump from one topic to another without warning. Kyla has become a master at "jumping with me." *smile*

What I know each day is I am blessed to have many people that care about the work we do at the agency and what we are doing with Beads in a Box. It is humbling to see the deep commitment and desire to make our vision and mission a reality. I know that the opportunities are endless, the challenges bring new ideas, and the future is what we make of it. I often share the following: "whether you think you can or you think you can't ~ either way you are right." I try to live my life by thinking I can, I know with the help of those who share our vision, our dream, we can continue to build Beads in a Box. 'til later, Karen
