It is good to see that there are other single parents that are Indie. I was trying to convince myself that I would not be able to be totally Indie because I am a single parent. Still wanting it bad enough, I continued to try and I am glad that I am not alone and that there are other single parent Indies out there.

Marla, this is so exciting! You are a busy soapmaking teacher! How great too that you are teaching children. Your classes seem to offer something for everyone, and it's also neat that you can send custom kits for people who are not in your area. That's great! I hope you will post your classes at http://www.indiebeauty.com. There are over 1,400 people there now and many of them say they want to learn how to make their own goodies. If I can help you do the posting, just let me know and I'll be glad to. Congratulations on having such a great week-long run. You must be exhausted so I hope you are getting some rest this weekend, at least on Sunday. Can't wait to see photos in future posts too!<BR/><BR/>Indie Love,<BR/>dMDonna Maria @ Indie Businesshttp://www.indiebusinessblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154037979145920986.post-13507101246377081732009-01-28T22:32:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:32:00.000-05:00Great Post Marla.<BR/>We agree on alot of the same stuff..I just took longer to say it. LOL<BR/>Funny, I have been reading alot of the Indie Tag Party posts and they boil down to the "same" kind of headings but different reasons. Does that make sense. Anyway, I think it is a good way for us to learn about each other :)La Dolce Divahttp://www.ladolcedivainc.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154037979145920986.post-23365285365327948882009-01-28T17:34:00.000-05:002009-01-28T17:34:00.000-05:00It's been interesting to read different soapers' reasons for loving being an indie. :)Teresa Rhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16903916899358897461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154037979145920986.post-50905277618276297392009-01-28T15:31:00.000-05:002009-01-28T15:31:00.000-05:00Very cool!

I have a beautiful shower and no tub (my daughter&#39;s bath has the tub). But I take along these salts to enjoy in hotels when I&#39;m on the road. I also soak my feet in them - especially the Peppermint &amp; Eucalyptus!Marla Bosworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08661523111553693136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154037979145920986.post-85505107390369044312009-01-06T15:45:00.000-05:002009-01-06T15:45:00.000-05:00I love taking baths.

It's fulfilling to show others what you know, and teaching makes us better at what *we* do. It's also a great marketing tool.<BR/><BR/>As for creating competition, if Mario Andretti teaches a race car driving class, does that mean his students will suddenly beat him? Highly unlikely. You don't have to give away your trade secrets just to share you joy for soapmaking with others.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, it creates more appreciation for the products you make - people who are educated about the process can now see the level of care and craftmanship in your products. <BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>Jamila White<BR/>"The E-Commerce Diva"<BR/>*as seen in Entrepreneur magazine*<BR/>http://www.ecommercediva.comecommercedivahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12845864310709186098noreply@blogger.com
