In 2005, I start my Animal Communication and Animal Reiki business, Sacred Paws.  In 2007, I burned out.   I had been selling holisitic products as well, so I needed to get a tax id number.

Turns out, that most people really just wanted the collars I was making “on the side”.  So I had been using that business name for taxes etc.

I’m off work today and I’m going to the County Clerks office to file my dba for Sew Crazy Dog Lady.  I will be closing up everything for Sacred Paws, but keeping the website and blog up..  I have to post more info…  I found that I’d really rather just inform and educate rather than work.

oh and sew.. I’d rather be sewing…and knitting ! which is my new passion.. I think I’m going to change my karate blog from Karate-Kyu to KicknKnit ..  right? why not?

enough for now.. this short and quirky post is done..  hoping I can post more now that my job is settled down a ibt.

… although lately, that is what it feels like.

I haven’t been reading and commenting on blogs, much less writing my own blog posts.. why?

Blame the economy.

I’m actually one of the fortunate ones who is doing pretty ok in the midst of this mess. I work for a mortgage company that has been around for a very long time AND has a economic genius running the show.

I’m busier than a long tailed cat in a a room full of rocking chairs. With the economy so in the toilet, interest rates on mortgages are low.. which means everyone wants to refinance.. and it means that in our relatively stable housing market (compared to other parts of the country) this area is a first time homebuyer’s dream.. if your credit is good and you have saved up some money that is.

So.. I’m busy..

and stressed.

But things seem to be smoothing out a bit.. I’m catching up and I’ve done a little bit of sewing here and there.
