Building the new, and healing

Each month in 2020, I’m picking a word of the month to go along with my word of the year. I’m using this random word generator to pick my word for me. The word it chose for me this month is HEAL.

Since this word is personal in nature, I going to use it to write morning pages. I might keep the word in mind while I’m art journaling, also. Not sure exactly yet.

Etsy Announces It’s Found a New Way to Gouge Sellers

I did a little reading over the weekend. Maybe I’m wrong, but I feel a HUGE paradigm shift/online seller movement coming on. I know this happens every time Etsy makes changes, but this time feels a bit different to me. 

If you’re looking for an alternative to Etsy, check out #caringeconomy. Sign up for the not so secret FB group, and apply to sell on their beta site (scroll to bottom).

I’m still waiting nervously to find out if I’m accepted or not. It’s been a few days of crossing my fingers tightly because they’ve had a huge rush of applications. I’m anxious to get started, as is everyone else.  

I hope you have a wonderful Monday.
