Toffee dream brought to life/Will be featured in magazine.

A couple of days ago I decided to quit. I figured I had enough of trying to build my website and though to myself maybe this just isn't in the cards for me. I even got as far as canceling my billing. I guess the frustration of it all just took its toll. I didn't care anymore with whatever happened to my website. I was basically in tears, then out of nowhere I get a private message from a fellow W/A member just checking up on me. It caught me by surprise because I had not formally mentioned to this particular person that I was leaving. So in other words he checked up on me on his own.. After I had mentioned what was going on he immediately offered to help in anyway. But at that point I'd already made up my mind. Even then he still offered to help me regardless of me being a member or not. WOW. Just that gesture alone brought me great happiness, the feeling of support that was much needed and appreciated at that time. Perfect timing.

So the next day I racked my brain in what I should do next being that I wasn't going to be building a website anymore. The first thing that came into my mind was chocolate and my passion for it. How people would ask me to make them toffee. I've already had a small following from people ordering toffee from me and thats when I had my Oh YUP moment. In the past couple of days after that yup moment I was able to get a hold of the chamber of commerce in my family's town and I'm proud to say my toffee will be advertised as of July magazine issue. Not only will my toffee be in newspaper adds, I will also get a spot in farmers market and festivals in my family's town. Can you believe that? I now even had to hire someone to help me make the toffee for the upcoming events. I am so happy right now. I now realize my first niche crashed because it wasn't what my true passion was. What was once a failure in my eyes actually turned out a success because it's what led me to where I am. The funny thing is the person thats working on my advertisement asked me if I wanted to also have a website and that she can get a person to build that for me IF I didn't know how. HaHa. How ironic is that? So I said I'd do it(attempt) lol.

Moral of my story is I may not be doing all my advertisement on website BUT if it wasn't for the support of the community and this particular person then I may of just wrote it off and never would have realized that the potential of my toffee /chocolate was there all along. And YES ill be keeping my membership. Now if I can just figure out how to build site. Lol
