I'm finally sitting down to blog. I haven't written since November.....this is how time passes you by. BUT, in my defense, I will say my absence of writing has only been because I have been ridiculously busy with other pursuits. Since my last blog I (and Leah on the business stuff) have:
1. Created, developed, and manufactured a second therapy product for our 2 Gals Speech Products company.
F.A.M.E. Articulation Workbook on CD. You can check it out on our website.
2. Leah and I have begun speaking professionally at state conferences. We have presented at WV, KY, and Ohio state Speech Conferences. We offer a 3 hour course on "Enhancing Your Therapy Through the use of Technology". It has been exceedingly well received. We plan to develop a second course called "The Practical Side of Therapy: insider tips from 60+ years in therapy"
3. Secured a contract with a national catalog company to distribute our products and have a second company express their desire to distribute for us as well :)
We continue to let God lead our every step in this company and still feel He will bless us when He wants us to receive His gifts. Yep, you're right I do live my life in simple blind faith in the One who has a plan for me :)
Sometimes, I feel like all I do is work and watch TV in the evenings and that's not good. I feel I have no social life, but that's just because of my present financial state. But I knew I would have to live like a pauper for 18 months when I decided on an early retirement. And too, I knew I'd be working for at least 3 years without compensation from the company, so this is not me whinning about my dire financial straights, this is just a verbal reminder to self of my conscious choice to live like this for peace of mind. Believe me when I say peace of mind is worth more to me that the paycheck :)
I promise to try to do better in posting.
For your enjoyment,
Dean
