MeMo & Sha

Dear MeMo & Sha ~  Good Evening  (or Morning to the East Coasters...)
          Normally a proper letter would begin with something such as, "how are you, I do hope your well"...then likely something or other about " can you believe this weather?!"  Or, " Did you SEE that catch last night?!   Blew me out of the water!"...Possibly even ( for me), "Wow how amazing is so & so on the cover of WWD???" or " Yes of course I'll serve hot lunch tomorrow...no worries, I'll cover."   Since though I don't really know if people are reading this, I'll begin with me.   :) 
         Today I woke up...sort of.   One of "those days" began taking shape.    Determined not to let the haze of that take over, my mind and my hands began readying my next collection.  Though it was less than a month ago I scrapped everything  created thus far.   How did I come up (yet again) with another few hundred piece's???   The thought flew out of my head just at the moment it had entered.   My job as a designer is to be able and do this within the hour...and I can.   How?
         The answer is simple...  It's in my bones...it's my passion...it's always been.  
         Throughout grade school, upon being asked "what do you want to be when you grow~up?"  My answers remained the same...different though from anybody else's.    Small hands would fly up to state,  "Doctor, Fireman, Vet,  Super~hero,  Nurse"...and the "uniform" list goes on.   It's a very respectable list too.    I must admit  "super~hero" wasn't ever totally out of the realm for me.  ;)  
        Dreams for my future (then and now) have stayed crystal clear.   ( Rock Quartz Crystal not Smoky Quartz).   Technically I never wanted/want to be  seen as "grown~up".   Luckily at just  five feet tall, I'm usually not.      
        Never the less, the answers were (and are) this; be a mom, be a designer, make the world smile.   
         Since officially becoming Studio Melli D, Inc. less than one year ago, I've designed over five hundred piece's.   Even amidst the constant banging of trucks, racing of cars, and building K'nex and Lego's into substantial cities....of course only to have them knocked down by a sibling.  
         I've managed to donate much more than I've sold... typical.   Though not because I'm a saint, rather it's just part of my "charm"...sometimes.  ;)
        My "New Years Resolution" for the next year of Melli, is to have business pay for business, donate just as much ( if not more ), and for next years resolution to be primarily the same goal...with one small addition...that I'll be able to take home a paycheck.  Is that obnoxious?  
          Oh, also,  I do think that ( in good taste) a reality show would be fun.  ;)   "Managing Melli...The not so starving artist."   At the moment, I have the flu, and have no desire to eat...you get what I'm saying though right?   
          That's the tip of the iceberg of my Melli thought process for today.
          Again, Emily Post would most probably advise me to end with something along the lines of , "I hope your well"  or " stay dry out there", "best wishes to your family" etc.   However, since this is just me for the moment... please do accept my "works for everything" ending of;
         Quite Kindly,
                  Melli D~
