Here's Your Sign

I have said that since I was at glass camp last year that if I were to upgrade my torch I would get a Carlisle CC, however, I'm in no rush so I'm not looking.

I have realized that if I want to glassblow or sculpt bigger projects I need a bigger kiln. Specifically one with a bigger door. My kiln has a bead door that's only 3 inches tall, kind of like a mail slot. Again, I'm in no rush as one will come to me.

About a month ago my friend emailed me a link in Kijijji about a glassblowing/lampworking studio (local to boot) for sale (posted end of August) that contains the exact torch I would upgrade to, a bigger kiln, ventilation system, table, all of the tools, and all of the glass. Basically this person is selling lock, stock, and barrel. Yes, let's mention that this is a boro studio and I'm a boro hound. Can we say a dangling carrot? After I restarted breathing, I came to realize this studio is out of my price range and I don't need a ventilation system. Hell, I don't NEED any of it, this is an opportunity that one (me) could capitalize on however, I don't have the cash lying around getting moldy, so I decided to let it go and not think anything more of it. Fly away... be gone....

In the mean time I connected with the fact that I want to deepen and expand my glass skills so that I can build a very successful and thriving glass business. Since I don't know how to do the latter, I prayed to God and my Angels to show me the way. Basically... help me out here!!

This past weekend my glass friend in Edson told me of her plans to build a new studio and she is in a need of a ventilation system. Hey, I remember where I saw one available so I hunted and dug around and found the link to the (drumroll please) Kijijji ad that was sent to me earlier. She looked at me and said "you need that studio and there's my ventilation system, let's see if it's still available!" Yeah, it is.

I have come to realize that God and the Angels have a sense of humor because wrapped in with the glass studio is how to focus on what I REALLY want (not the means, aka money) and let's also work on those scarcity issues, shall we? So yes, I am looking at this studio further and it's a possibility of purchase. How do I feel about this? Hand me my paper bag, I'm hyperventilating. Furthermore to the sense of humor this is a quote that I received a few days ago via my daily email from "The Universe".

" Next time you feel fear, Sherri, either right after a major decision or just before one, it usually means you're exactly where you need to be.

Nice,
The Universe"

Great. Better stock up on paper bags....
