Blog Post One

This is the first blog of Lilly Pollyanna, hopefully you will find our story interesting. Lilly and I have known each other just under 3 years, and in that time have established a relationship, which has become extremely profitable. With her extensive knowledge of the business world and my artistic capabilities, we have joined to become a force to be reckoned with. (Her words, not mine!) About a week prior to getting the domain Lillypollyannagalleria.com, (28 Jun 2022) Lilly informed me she was leaving. Hmmm? She didn’t explain why and I didn’t ask. Since everything up to that point was already in place and discussed: company direction, website setup, corporate structure, inventory, and most of all, money distribution, it really didn’t matter. Everything was pretty much, in place. So off she went, into the wild blue yonder.

Shortly thereafter, an extremely nice portion of our inventory, stored off-site, got damaged beyond repair and definitely couldn’t be sold. And no, it wasn’t insured. $10,000 down the drain. Things happen and usually for a reason, whether good or bad. At that point, I started realizing, the journey was just beginning. That was the first, but not last, of many mishaps. Although the inventory was gone, a smaller one was well under way. Recreating what was lost wasn’t in the plans, so I took another route. Starting fresh seemed to be the best way to go. My partner Lilly Pollyanna leaving was actually a blessing in disguise. (Let me explain.) Lilly is always full of ideas, and pretty good ones. Unfortunately, every 10 minute detailed conversation, with her extraordinary imagination, requires 6 months (minimum) of work, and none of it easy. However, the work is very, very profitable which is why I never tire of her various projects.

Revelations

For about 3 weeks I’ve been in a slump. This site should have launched NLT 04 Jul 2022, my birthday. (I’m 62 years young!) I couldn’t figure it out. Today's been 2 weeks since my daughter has been assisting me. It’s been 22 years since she’s been gone. (she’d be 42 today and departed before her 21st birthday). Gone, but not forgotten. NEVER! Yes, on 28 Jul 2022 she appeared and said, she was gonna help dad out. The whole time she’s on earth it was always, “daddy” (which she knows I always preferred dad, but why argue).

What’s up with dad all of a sudden, I asked?

Where is she, was her question?

Heaven, I said.

And where am I, she inquires.

On earth, I replied.

That’s right buddy she states, and I’m here to make sure you stay on the right track, because you’re not gonna go back to your wicked ways. That’s right, our Father told me all about what you used to do. So until you die, I’m gonna be there everyday, every step of the way, keeping an eye on you. What do you have to say, she defiantly demanded?

“Thank You”, was the immediate reply!

Yes, Rose (Marie Joanna) is watching over me and going to assist in my journey until I meet up with her in heaven. It’s a powerful experience becoming a parent, a glorifying experience. Magnificent. Exhilarating. Yes, and no parent thinks they’d ever be burying their child, should be the other way around. Always. But, I’m grateful for the short time I had with her (we didn’t spend much time together, thanks to her mother). The time we spent together was always fun-filled. Now, she’s gonna be with me, assisting with an abundance of joy and love to keep me on the right track. Well, since now she knows the little devil I used to be, she knows her work will be never-ending. Today has been 2 weeks, and the peacefulness has been extraordinary. Yes, I feel rejuvenated. Rose says to take it, one step, one day at a time. It’s gratifying to know, she’s using the same words on me, that I used to instill in her. (Yep, a regular chip, off the old block.)

Back to our regularly scheduled program

I remember early on, maybe a week after meeting Lilly, she asked, why I wasn’t taking notes. (She was serious!) Calmly explaining, that I was listening intently to everything discussed up to that point, there’s no way, I could ever achieve even half of what was being constantly proposed. She knew it, which is why it was never brought up again. One main reason why I never took notes: I always knew it was/is, literally impossible to keep up with her, so I never tried.

Making mad money is just around the block, gonna break the bank. Don’t believe me?

Tell you what: track me. Track my progress going forward and see if money doesn’t follow me and a lot of it. I repeat, it’s gonna follow me, I’m not gonna chase it. Let me close by saying, it’s been a pleasure and pure joy enlightening you on what’s to come.

(These are not my words, but Lilly’s.)

Ciao!
