For the first time all year, one of my shows cracked the $500 mark. I am doubly relieved and thankful - last year $500 was my average and I had a lot of shows over that.
This show seemed like old times - a decent number of people, willing participation in the recipe prep, a few nice outside orders, and lots of PC fans. Plus, the host is a pastor's wife, so she asked the guests to buy an item for the church kitchen. That idea is being taken up by one of the guests, who is going to collect a list of needs from some of the charitable houses the church supports, then run a catty show. One other guest (my good friend) hosted one of my first shows, skipped last year, and booked this year.
By the way, the host was someone I met in the spring at a show who said "maybe".
A few days before the show, I was walking the dogs, stressing about money and said to myself, "God always provides, I just have to trust." Sure enough, S/He did.
So, to those of you who are struggling, have faith and keep making those calls!
