Okay, this saying goodbye and welcoming the "new" is working out very well.  In the past 24 hours, my mind has been buzzing with ideas and inspiration about the new business ventures I've undertaken.  Several years ago, I made a conscious decision to be more of a "producer," to create my own products and my own events.  To be the creator, the artist, and the business man takes a lot of work, patience, vision and a huge dose of forgiveness of self.  There have been many times in the past few years that I've thought I've not done such a bang up job of that.  Of course, in hindsight, I can see in the big picture that all of it has been part of my learning curve.  What I have gotten clear about is to stick with producing those things about which I feel most passionately.  In particular, this includes life-affirming programming for the entertainment medium, live events that inspire (whether speaking, workshops, seminars, or performance events), and creative endeavors that are in the greatest alignment with who I am choosing to be.  In order to be more in alignment, I have had to do some housecleaning.  I've had to say "no" to that which does not bear fruit and "goodbye" to that which is not supportive of my intentions, passions, and big picture.  And, of course, I've said, "thank you" to all of it because without the learning curve, I could not be creating "new business" with such inspired vigor.
