How I did it
It made me
Happy for space! 
How I did it: I had a cupboard in my office where I kept all of the merchandise. Since I'm no longer a representative, first I sold what I could on eBay and tossed anything that was expired. Then I gave away a few thing as gifts. Finally I stored away any product I thought I would use in the near future and voila!! More space to put some more important stuff!! Read how I did it…

Not to work under a business name at this time. Found out it costs $100 to register a business name with the Sec. of State, and if we don’t register the name we could get fined. So, for now it will be selling on eBay, which will cost us some fees, but I’m guessing that in the long run this will be an okay way to get us started. We don’t have the money to set up a website that may or may not get traffic, so the money might as well go to a place we will get traffic. As soon as the TIN gets approved we’ll place our order :) Anyone need anything in the spiritual realm???

A friend of mine, who truly wants to know more about Wicca has volunteered to be my guinea pig for my “lesson plan.” It’s a great combination because she gets to learn, and I get to work with someone who has very little knowledge of the subject matter to begin with. This is nice because I can tell if I am explaining things clearly, and I can answer questions I may not have thought about adding to my lessons. All around it’s a great experience and we’ve already met twice, with one emailed lesson because we both got super busy. I’m doing some power points, and trying to come up with some fun ways to explain some of the concepts.
I’m really excited about sharing my knowledge on this! One thing I need to do that I haven’t yet, is start a collection of articles (used with permission of course) to enhance the learning process by giving other points of view on topics I may know little about, or sides that I don’t personally agree with but are still valid. I want to teach a person about Wicca, and help guide them to finding their own path. I don’t want them to follow “my” path, because it was designed for me, by me…and that is an opportunity I think everyone should have, to design their own spiritual path.
I’m rambling now, better go work on that cross stitch!
