100 Words and Opening Shop
2012
“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.” I need to have this tattooed to my forehead. Or record it and make it my ring-tone. Anything to remind me that “done is better than good perfect”. I stalled and stalled on opening the Etsy shop I was so excited about because I didn’t have good enough photos, or the perfect shop header, or truck-loads of inventory.
I bit the bullet today and got the shop open - without a header, with better photos than I had yesterday, and with one item. 
It’s freeing to just dive in even when you don’t have everything perfectly perfect. Better still, the inertia is unlocked and forward momentum begins.
This week’s word is brought to you by Tabby Cat and Kitty Cat Make Friends with Billy the Goat – one of the vintage books in my treasure chest that I pulled out today to contemplate where it goes next on its journey. The word is:
Hurrying

Love the freedom the words get by being turned into words. Now their true meanings can fly.
Duh! I meant turned into BIRDS! Sigh. Need more coffee.

Thanks!
This word has been my life lately. Okay, it’s been my life for almost 42 years.
I may go personal. I may have to.
Congratulations on your shop, vel.

And you did, very bravely, go personal. Thanks for that.
Thanks for the congrats.
Congrats on the opening of the shop! I’m also the girl who gets the shop open before there are things to sell or a header or much of anything. Once I get the idea, I just want it out there.
I’m in your neck of the woods this week. Westfield and East Hampton, with the hope of escaping to Northhampton for a little. . .ummmm. . .how do we say. . .people?
Whaaat? How long are you here? I have guests coming in tonight but we should get together. It would be crazy not to.
