Zig Ziglar Died Today - "Living Your Dreams"


Zig Ziglar traveled the nation and the world as a motivational speaker for more than 40 years, stirring corporate groups with his distinctive blend of sound-bite optimism, country wit, Christian faith and good-natured nudging for people to see the bright side of life. May he rest in peace.
Coincidentally (but maybe not), today Baisden Live talked about "Living Your Dreams". DHDesigns was born when I stepped out of 11 years in the medical field (which I actually enjoyed) and birthed Delicate Hands' Designs! I'm "working" more now than I ever did BUT the rewards are endless and so worth it! Entrepreneurship has been such a blessing and I LOVE what I do like nothing before!
“If you can dream it, you can achieve it.” - Zig Ziglar
I shared my story in one of the facebook posts Baisden made and in so doing, I met Germika Pegram, MSW. She visited my website through my post and "liked" my page, stating I did awesome work! What a blessing she was, as she offered to be a resource through her services and even any resources of other people. She made mention on her own page of my business and encouraged others to view and "like". As a result, 6 fans of DHDesigns were added within an hour of her post!
“You will get all you want in life, if you help enough other people get what they want.” - Z. Z.
I was blown away as I witnessed the impact of networking and sharing my story! The experience truly motivated me to "run my mouth" about anything I can, related to my business! You will hear more from me soon on an upcoming airing of The Ugly Truth Radio, discussing current headlines and topics, and of course, promoting Delicate Hands' Designs! I'm incredibly excited about the many doors that are being opened and I "expect the best, plan for the worst, and will capitalize on what comes." - Z. Z.

Knit Character/Animal Hats

In my online knitting group, we've noticed a growing popularity of character/animal hats! I immediately got started on some! First attempt was Hello Kitty and I was quite pleased (after I had to redo the eyes and make them wider apart); when I wore it and everybody knew who it was! The compliments of its cuteness made me all warm inside! Yyaayy me :-)
Next is a bear, penquin, Angry Birds, Minnie Mouse, Miss Piggy and Tweety Bird! Stay tuned. Pictures will be posted as they're completed. I'd love to hear from you. What characters have you done or would you like to see?
