Alanya

I'm currently visiting someone who, if all the stars aligned, was transferred to hospice about an hour ago. Fingers crossed. I'll be visiting him every morning this week, working some of the rest of the time, and alternating between socializing and recharging the rest of the time, so apologies for not being terribly personal with many people on this visit.

Anyway, also happening this week: the end of my Indiegogo campaign. I am nowhere near my goal, but I figured it was somewhat unrealistic anyway! In any case, if anyone wants to do a final promotion or donation or something, the appropriate link is here: http://www.indiegogo.com/belethil

THANK YOU to everyone who has donated or promoted. I've been having a blast making incentives, and I've gotten a ton of Etsy business since starting the campaign. It's been a good run, and I hope things continue at this pace!

I'm about to spam everyone with this, so apologies in advance if this gets repeated so often you feel the urge to remove me from your reading lists. I will only be posting about it on DW/LJ twice - once at launch (now) and once when it's almost over - but will likely be posting to Facebook and Twitter once a week or so until the end.

I know this goal is a little ridiculous, but as a really wise friend mentioned, if I want to raise $5k, I should make sure I'm actually *getting* that much after the cost of incentives. So I doubled my "goal" because I'm hoping to get about half that after all is said and done. And I'm an ask-person; meaning that I believe you can't know if you can get what you want unless you ask for it.

So...okay! Here goes.

It took me a while to decide this was necessary, but since my Livejournal/Dreamwidth handle is the same as my current official website and email address (both present on my business card), it seems like a potentially bad idea to publicly discuss some of the things that go through my mind. I'm torn, of course; I want to remain as transparent and public as possible. But I also need to be able to talk about the things that aren't entirely good in my life, and Facebook is not the right forum for such things. Hence: this journal is now (mostly) friends-only.
