When Life Gives You Lemons
I guess this is the sequel to my previous blog, "Don't Worry, Be Happy, and Let Nothing Steal Your Joy. Whenever you make an affirmation like this, all kinds of things begin to come to test your resolve and conviction, as it has currently been for me. I am having trouble getting the "Bubba Oodle" dolls inspected that I had made in China. Among the options that the factory has given me is the return of my payment for manufacturing. This is where the lemons come in. It sounds okay, but this choice would require me to put the launch date of my business off for several months. As I have been waiting for this opportunityto introduce my "Oodle Dolls" and "Oodleville Adventure" children's books for more than 16 years, this set-back will sour my intentions. Now to the lemonade...having Bubba made in the U.S. would be more favorable, as I could be sure of how and what is going on with the manufacturing. Have you had any lemons given to you, and did you make lemonade? Tell us about it... Paris.

- Thank you, Vickie, but I am so strong-willed and "pig headed" sometimes, as my mother used to say, it takes something grand to get my attention to tell me that I'm going in the wrong direction. Paris.
