Luscious Chaos

My work has been challenging of late. I work primarily with Honda Corporation trying to convince them to buy research and analysis to improve their marketing and sales. Problem is--they want the analysis, they just don't want to pay for it. I have taken some pride in being "Top Rep" over the years. The patience required to work this hard without seeing the results I had come to enjoy is very challenging for me. Today I received some difficult news that one of our primary sponsors told my boss that he feels too much "sales" pressure from me. The individual has no idea how much energy I have expended on his behalf trying to get the best in service and resource for Honda and his department. Frankly, I was devastated. In my life, having my actions be misrepresented has been and continues to really level me. I know the Lord is giving me opportunities to learn. I just wonder if the lesson could be learned in a more enjoyable environment. I already know the answer to this but it was worth a try.

I have mentioned a couple of times on this blog about the wonderful friends we have made here in CA. This picture of Cody Bowler should make clear what we are really dealing with.

Clint, Natalie and Kailey Jo are flying in tomorrow morning. We will go get their Disney passes activated and maybe I will get to tend that beautiful baby girl for awhile.

There is no such thing as failure, only success that hasn't bloomed yet.

Enough for now...Love to all.
