...To be the Goddess of Perseverance...that would be sublime! Before you think I am way over the top or very into myself, I should make some introductions. I am Meg King, designer/owner, of Oh Sweet Day. I am also a participating member of the Mount Kisco Beehive Co-op.  I thank my lucky stars I had grabbed a copy of the Westchester Journal that wintery Monday morning, in which Beehive was featured as Shop of the Week. Honestly I could not handle too many more “craft fairs” that became like a New Years Eve count down till it was time to pack up. Mind you, this was minus the crowds, champagne and celebrations. Since joining the co-op in December, I have evolved as a person & designer, while focusing on my eclectic flair.

   I am also a part of a Peer Exchange Program ran by theWomen’s Enterprise Development Network (www.wedc-westcherster.org)…totally worth checking out. At our first meeting, our moderator Michele Phillips www.keyseminars.org, asked us to pick out a random card from the pile…low and behold I picked out the card that read “ Goddess of Perseverance…I believe in myself now, always and in all ways.”

   Now lets be honest, as entrepreneurs even on our best days we have doubts about ourselves and our brands…yet eternal optimism is essential for us to “make it” in this creative market. As Theodore Roosevelt said, “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”  So as you may guess, as I am sitting in my pj bottoms and bra…sewing my heart out in my non-air-conditioned room, a passerby, also known as my husband John, might hear me reciting…sometimes singing at the top of my lungs…the simple phrase I am the Goddess of Perseverance!!!

   On those days my mom titled Blue Mondays…believe me, there are also Blue Wednesdays, Fridays, Sundays, etc… (but they too pass) just know you are the Goddess of Perseverance…say it, scream it, sing it…but most important believe it.  So my first blog...words I needed to put to paper and hopefully words you needed to hear! Well till next time from one Goddess to another happy making!!!
