Thanks Meera

It's coming up on a year now that I've been Pro. Business from last years' shows went well for me. In a few weeks I'll be doing the first of 4 shows this summer, and to be honest I'm terrified. But I was last year as well, so hopefully it's just needless worry.
I was able to go to the PSOA convention a few weeks ago, and got some great feedback from my portfolio, and International Magazine will be publishing a portrait. Back home here in MN, I 'm in the final stage of getting representation, and I've hired a designer to put togther comprehensive marketing materials.
I wish I could say that I'm a well behaved entrepreneur, but the negatives are that I've gained at least 10lbs from that **** refrigerator being soooooo close, and napping when I get bored or frustrated. Oh well.

I'm especially am grateful that I have a career that gives me more time with my son Alex. From that perspective I've been very happy with everything.
