Late Start

Off to a late start writing this morning. Yesterday I gathered some more necessities for the next phase of development. Went to the Carbon/Colon market. It’s a venue for farmers from the provinces to come and sell their fruits and veggies to locals in the city. I was able to gather everything I needed with the exception of grapes. It’s challenging to negotiate as a foreigner, as most local believe we are all “rich.” I went with a local and her husband but what I learned was I wasn’t really happy with the results of their negotiation abilities so moving forward I’ll travel there alone.

Today, Tuesday, July 9, 2019, I am grateful that:

I was able to grab more pieces of the puzzle that’s the “Ideal Me.” It’s funny how I’m not really thinking much about the boldness of the steps I’m taking. For me it’s just another part of my journey.

I was able to determine I didn’t need Cedric or Shy for the negotiations at the market. It was great to be with them and I’m glad they were there but I’m quite adept at communicating effectively and persuasively. Not certain how and when the doubt about that particular aspect of my personality crept in but I have/will definitely silence that quiet voice of doubt.

My first juicing and cleaning session went well. I’ve dreaded cleaning my juicer but it didn’t take as long as I remember from before. Also, the juicing solution was not as bitter as I thought it would have been which was truly a relief. Recipe - handful of spinach, one carrot, one cucumber, and one granny smith apple.

You can start late, just start. Be Impactful!
