Ten.Two Thousand, Seven Hundred & Seventy-Six

1. A slow start.

2. Coffee in my own tiny pinch-pot mug.

3. I wonder sometimes if I’m doing too much, but then I think back to my conversation with him about how this is really like building a business. I’m always trying to convert people into fans.

4. I realize, far too late, that I accidentally took the Trinity Road option. And in 3-inch espadrilles.

5. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, but the parking lot is already full.

6. They have definitely never seen this many Black women in this restaurant before.

7. She asks me if I met some new people: I found a Black Tarot Deck, a money woman, a mortgage broker, a model in Napa I can call for my work shoots, a potential new basketball coach, a Pilates instructor, strength training enthusiasts, and potters. So, yeah, I think I filled my basket.

8. Another one bites the dust.

9. Control the cotrollables.
