Finally. I am working on this in a really serious way. Since being laid off, I knew I had to find something. New York threm me a few bones that led to nothing. SO… I put an ad on craigslist for like minded designers in my area. People are still responding! This is exciting. I don’t even have time to be afraid because there is so much to do. Thank God, He gave me the courage to put that first ad on CL. I am creating a fashion incubator in my city and a few of us will house our design businesses under the same roof and share expenses. So I am actually starting 2 businesses at the same time: the incubator and mine line.

We have a lot of work to do because the incubator will be a non-profit so I am greatful that I wrote my biz plan for my line a year ago. Now I need to complete the grant I am writing and the letter seeking sponsors. I am also completing the application to screen interested designers and come up with a curriculum. But it is all coming together. Every good job and every crappy job I ever had is starting to make sense because I am having to pull on the things I learned from those jobs.

Once again, whew-hew!
