Well, I have been thinking about this for 3 years, have researched different kinds of businesses, and have finally, I think, decided to start my own business...may not sound like a lot to you, or maybe too much to others, but have finally concluded with the way we have been as of late...with the MS and other maladies, both physical, psychological and mental, that I needed to find something I could stay at home and do without having to meet people regularly and try to excuse myself when I could no longer take a boring meeting or a day of running myself ragged when it was all I could do to stay awake to drive...so, I am starting my own business. This comes with no small thought of what the other Jewels are thinking about it, and I am quite pleasantly surprised that they thought it was a good idea and didn't wonder why I didn't listen to them earlier...of course, it had been suggested a long time ago, but hey, I wasn't too receptive of anything until just recently, so asking them their opinions was a step for me. So, if we seem distant and not too out there, don't worry. We will always keep you informed about what is going on, good OR bad, and believe me, when I say bad, it may be REALLY bad in the beginning. Or not...who really knows anyway? Not me. I am not too certain about anything these days, especially my own name. Just call me Jewels. We answer to that all the time.
