Weekend Catch Up

I liked this challenge from Bonnie Rose from the weekend.

Q1: Do you ever have epiphanies, moments when things become so abundantly clear that you're left wondering what in the heck you were thinking up until that point in time
~Actually, I've had a few of these. Two that I can say are quite clear. First was when Charlie & I were dating. We had been dating for a couple of months and were living together. Then one morning I remember waking up and thinking "the father of my children was lying beside me". It was if I had heard the words in my head. At first, it was unnerving. But the more I thought about it and spent time with him, I realized that I really had found the "Man of the Dreams"!
Second is about my old job. I had spent 18 years of my life working for this company. And since coming to Tallahassee, things had just gotten so unbearable. I prayed so much for some guidance that I was doing the right thing by quitting. I had finally accepted in my heart that this was what I needed to do. It was as if the Lord was trying to tell me"Hey, how can I take you some place else, if you don't trust me to quit from here?" Then on my last day, as I was walking across the frontend, I spotted a penny on the floor. I believe that pennies are from heaven with the quote"In God We Trust". A little something to say that He's there. As I picked up the penny, I looked at the year and it was 1968-the year I was born! I kept it in my pocket all day and was even thinking about making a lo with it!

Q2: They say every one of us has at least one in our lifetime... Without revealing something you're not comfortable sharing, have you ever had what you believed to be a million dollar business idea?
~My problem is that I have alot of these!! The first one I can think of (not million dollar) was when I was about 15 yrs old. I was out with my dad and we had stopped to look at an old house that was being used by a local garden nursery for storage. It was a small house, but had a big picture window in the front and was located on a main street. I told my dad that I thought that it would make a great location for a little retail shop. About a month later, someone bought it and turned it into {a little retail shop}!
I've had this happen to me with alot of different things. And I'm trying to make myself believe that I should go with what I feel. But sometimes, it's just so scary! I guess that's why I decided that my motto for this year is:
Be who you are and say what you feel, because the people who mind don't matter and the people who matter don't mind.
