RETAIL IS TOUGH.

BY SPEAKING OUT ON ISSUES MANY
DON'T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT
INCLUDING INFERTILITY.
>> WHEN I STARTED TALKING ABOUT
THINGS AND GOT SO MANY LIKE
THOUSANDS OF MESSAGES FROM WOMEN
SAYING THANK YOU FOR TALKING
ABOUT THIS.
IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER THAT I
CAN TALK ABOUT THIS BECAUSE
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S EASY FOR
ME.
I WILL DO THAT.
I WILL DO THAT ALL DAY LONG.
WHAT ELSE -- WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
HEAR ABOUT?
I DIDN'T REALIZE BECAUSE IT'S
NOT HOW I AM HOW MANY PEOPLE
REALLY HAVE A STRUGGLE TALKING
ABOUT INFERTILITY OR BABIES OR
OR WEIGHT GAIN OR BEING A WOMAN
AND WORKING IN THE CONSTRUCTION.
SO MANY THINGS.
OKAY, WHO DO YOU WANT ME MAKE
MAD.
I COULD TALK ABOUT THAT.
FINE.

NOW, WHAT'S NEXT FOR MINA?

CAN'T HAVE IT.

I'M LIKE -- WELL, WHAT IF I DO
PART CASH AND PART FINANCING?
I CAN'T FINANCE IT BECAUSE THERE
IS A RENTAL PROPERTY ON IT SO IT
HAD TO BE A COMMERCIAL -- I'M IN
LOVE WITH IT AND I WON'T SAY
WHAT IT IS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
ANYONE ELSE TO BE IN LOVE WITH
IT BUT IT'S A BIGGER PROJECT
THAN THIS AND I WANT IT FOR ME.
I WANT TO MAKE IT MY FOREVER
HOME THOUGH I THOUGHT MY LAST
HOME WAS MY FOREVER HOME.
SO IT'S MY WISH LIST RIGHT NOW
OTHER THAN THAT I HAVE NO IDEA.
