Letter to Susie

Well... I think (yes, it's ALL about ME at the moment!) I'd like to cater, plan events, you know, party stuff maybe... I don't know. Of course there is the photography. I'd like to do a line of art-cards, but that's no way to make a living... maybe I could make and sell hippie shit like anointed peacy lovey bath salts and witchy woman stuff like I used to do for a while. HOWEVER! Sebastopol seems to positively reek with that sort of thing, so back to the drawing board!

Something baby related, without being daycare--is that vague enough for you? Of course every new celebrity mom is doing "something baby-related" and having a much better chance of promoting whatever it may be, so that market is fairly well saturated as well.

Of course everyone wants a work from home job on the internet, and yes, I was making a decent living selling crap on eBay for a while, but they are such greedy thieves I have little desire to keep supporting them (but i will keep selling crap now and then, simply because they have the market for the most part) but I prefer CraigsList whenever possible. Still that's not really a dependable income the way i do it, I was just buying and selling random things here and there, not doing an actual wholesale-to-retail gig. Maybe I will revisit that idea.

Maybe I could do an imports thing, but again, so saturated, I would need to actually have something unique mass-produced in another country and sell it here. I do have another trip to India coming to me one day in the future. My ex-husband owes it to me. he promised me one trip for the honeymoon and one for the divorce! So if I can come up with some designs before I go that would be a good something something on the side.

I keep thinking I will just come up with the perfect chip-clip, post-it or pet rock idea one of these days, but so far nothing has manifested itself into a million dollar thneed.

Meanwhile I make food and dolls and other random things and photograph it all to release my pent up creative frustrations.






Now... I hope to hear what's going on in YOUR life soon! Maybe I'll go look at your blog. I think I will try again to post in mine. I've tried several times over the years, it never sticks. Not sure why, I used to write in a paper journal EVERY day for years. A lot of my journal back then was in the form of letters that I would photo copy and paste in. Maybe i should start doing that again, pasting my more verbose emails into a blog. I just started yet another blog recently, I think I'll post this letter in it, it's sort of journal like.

Love you and trust everything is going well on the tour. Still looking forward to those pics you promised!

Love Rupa
