Karl, I’ve asked the cafeteria lady in your head to dole out an extra serving of tater tots for your comment here.
I hear she really likes Yoga. My cafeteria lady doesn’t, consider yourself lucky! Thanks for your comment.

I’m afraid of the crazy cafeteria in my head. She has wrinkles that stretch farther than the eye can see. I must admit that crazy lady has good ideas and when I do let her out she always has something wise to say.

After doing Yoga, I lay down in Savasana and just listen. Because of this quiet time, I had two really good ideas for blog posts. Like all good copy writing we have to know what the audience wants. Like you said, just listen and let it flow. Well, you didn’t say that, but that’s what I took from your post.

I hope you feel better soon.

GirlPie, what a great suggestion on blogging about how the process goes — I will absolutely do that.
As far as posting the ad here, I’m already getting such great responses just from sending it to 2 friends, that I think my search might not have to go beyond that…

Thanks for your encouragement! I can’t wait to get back to this blog. (And maybe I can have some guest posters, now that I’m expanding my team!)

Hope you’re feeling better three weeks later, but I’m wondering if you’ll post your personal ad here as well as at Havi’s? I’d love to see how a new employer takes on the submissions, the vetting, the interview or tests, the trial period, the choosing, etc. Although if you’re too busy to enjoy time off, you may be too busy to blog — so we hope your new hire allows you enough free time to get back to it. (Although I always have to tell my standardly-employed pals and family: when you work for yourself, your time is never “free.” (We’re always making the decision to bill for this hour or go have fun, etc.)

Good luck with it~ !
