man, if i had the time, i'd have to check out 'heartbeat'....it sounds good.

thanks for being so faithful in stopping by while i've been so busy. your encouragement means so much to me, especially right now as i face this huge decision...i feel like i'm at a fork in the road, either i'm 'all in', or i go another route and give this up.  i'm not sure what to make of the idea's presentation.  gotta weigh it out carefully, but in timely fashion as there's not much time to make a decision.  i wish i had more knowledge on the business end of things.  i've never been much of a 'book learner' however, more of a hands-on learner, so this may be just the way i'm supposed to go.  the money will be the biggest thing, but i've heard that if you can get a business grant, that's money you don't have to pay back.  i think i would opt for that first, rather than a loan, but i don't know how much time that takes to apply, and wait for the determination on the money.   all i know is that i slept like a stone last night, and woke feeling excited about the prospect.  i'll be looking at the shoppe in a whole different perspective today.....
