Not Afraid |

I had a very fun and interesting day at the Noches de Altares event. It was pretty successful for me sales wise, but it was also just a hell of a lot of fun - except for the first part of the day.
We had 4 hours for set up which is a VERY long time. We had a plan in place and we expected things to go smoothly. Well, the wind kicked up shortly after we set up. The canopy was lifting of the ground and moving several feet. The banner knocked over a display and broke several sugar skulls, a display hutch and some candles in tall votives. It was sheer chaos for about 2 hours. We borrowed some bungee cords and strapped down as best we could. Eventually, the wind died down and some emergency sand bags were delivered. But, not the way I wanted to start the day!
I had this bad feeling about the day for three reasons: I had a nightmare about my mother; I saw a cat that had been hit by a car; and I saw a large pool and stream of blood on the street when I was walking a dog this morning.
Thank GOD you can turn around a bad day into a good one!
