12/27/09 New Church, Coffee & Nici, NM

I woke up tired. I wanted to shower and do a few exercises before getting dressed, having breakfast, and packing for my day at NMarket. Soon we were on our way to the church we attended on Chirstmas eve. People at Northwood Christian are very friendly. Real and genuine. I liked the service but not as much as the Christmas service. Luke loved it. He cried. I did like the message--that God is in each momentmof our lives and to know God you have to find Him in each moment--which He has given to you as a gift. I'm going to practice.

We got a mug, the first in our journey. I put the cup on our cupboard in the dining room.

Nicole went with us. Afterwards, she took us out for coffee. We wanted to take her, but she's so much like Em. She wouldn't hear of it. I call her my 4th daughter. She paid.

She brought us a warm house for the kitties--Pumpkin and Greyling. The house was created by a group that cares for homeless kitties. It will keep them warm. I hope that Pumpkin and Greyling try the house and like it. We made plans to have them neutered. Later I thought about it. What if they have homes. They are beautiful kitties, very beautiful. I hope that they truely have no home. What if they belong to someone who wants to breed the cats. I'm freaking out.

Luke dropped me off at NMarket. The weather has turned cold and the snow is falling. The roads are icy for the first time this year. I am worried about the bottom line. We really work.

In the middle of the day, a woman came in. She was dressed and looked like she had money. She didn't want any help but I saw her carrying a lot of product and was worried that she'd drop something. I asked her if she would take a basket; she refused in a mean way. So I just sighed and looked away. Something was off with this woman. Then crash, a bottle hit the floor. She looked up in a guilty way. I had just asked her to take a basket. She offered to pay for the bottle. I told her the price; it was only $14.99. Then I assured her that Matt would take care of cleaning the floor. She said again that she'd pay for the product. I didn't say--"Oh, don't." She must have been waiting for that. Suddenly, she dropped what she had in her arms on my chair (she could have dropped other products) and ran out. She wasn't going to pay for that little bottle .

For some reason, I felt bad about the loss of her sale. Matt and I take our bottom line seriously. Luckily lots of fun and good customers did come in.

Toward the end of the day, a couple came in. The woman had a problem that I've had--small white spots that appear on the hands and body. I healed mine with green food and Megasorb B complex. She was thinking the same for herself. Her husband was reading about the same nutrients. So she bought chlorophyl,

She likes to do everything naturally. At first I liked her and her husband. Then I didn't. She told me that she let her house cat go wild because animals shouldn't be caged in people's houses. I didn't like her after that. I thought about it because of Pumpkin and Greyling, (could she be right) but I ended by thinking that it didn't work for me. She started to remind me of --well, someone I don't respect.

In the end, our bottom line surprised and pleased Matt and I. We did it despite awful weather and the big game and lots of people out of town for the holidays. We love to get it done.
