Goals To make money for her retirement using her creative skills and to find companionship

I spoke to Paula Hall, my relationship therapist, about three weeks ago and she set me some pottery homework, one of which I've shown here. It portrays how I would like to be: interesting and fun. Have I achieved that yet? No, but I'm getting there.

Paula implied that getting out of my comfort zone would in time bring its rewards. I agree, but only I can do it and that's where the confidence thing needs to kick in. Nonetheless, I have summoned up the courage to put several ceramic pieces into an exhibition (a gallery in Kent is promoting Swale art). I'm under no illusions, though - to show off my efforts is good enough at the moment. A sale ... wow, that would be brilliant!

Jenny Duck, the cash coach, should be coming back to me soon. I've tried very hard to turn around my thought processes as far as money is concerned. Yes, I do live on a tight budget ... but I can still have what I want, I just have to be more versatile ... there are many ways to skin a cat!

Have also had some very interesting emails from a fellow potter in New Zealand. I'm really envious of her set-up. So c'mon guys, how about arranging a site visit?
