Confessions of a Blog Whore.

I love blogging… really I love writing.  I always have.  I wanted to be a journalist for a short time, until I realized that it was almost as difficult to get published as it was to get into the movies.  That’s when I decided that I’d just write for fun.  When I realized that I could publish my own works on my own website, it was fantastic!  But few, if anyone, ever saw my websites.  That is until I learned to blog and how to get my blog seen online.

Wanted: 1 Magic Wand

Wanted: 1 Magic Wand (Used is fine as long as it still works), batteries not included ok.  Must pack entire household with a flip of the wrist, and move stuff from old house to new house and office with out the need for a rental truck.  Or at the very least will move all the heavy stuff from the house into the rental truck.. I’m not THAT picky!  Serious enqueries only.  Willing to pay a lot of money for wand, but still would like to pay no more than what it would cost to do the stuff myself .  Will also take magic wand that will make my teen sons stop whineing about needing to pack and move, and put a happy face on when I ask them to do things…. LOL!  Yea I know I’m dreaming about a wand that will make teenagers helpful!

Stressed & Waiting…. My Two Favorite Things…. NOT!

Stressed, yes, that is the word of the day… maybe even the week… or month! But really it’s all good right?  Things are popping for us in so many different ways that I’m getting dizzy!  But most of it’s good change.  But change, no matter what kind it is, usually makes me a stress bunny!  So that’s exactly what’s kept me from posting lately.  I’m so stressed I can’t even think straight!  LOL!

Failure IS An Option! Failing In February.

I’ve been doing some life coaching through Life Compass, which gives me 2 coaching calls a month.  My coach is Randee Krumwiede, and she is really great.  This month we are working through Failure.  Using Failure as the foundation to success.  Because without failure you can not know success.   I was going to write about this earlier today because the topic really hit home for me, but I kept putting it off.  Not because we were busy with work, though we were in the morning.  No I didn’t write about it because it was a scary topic for me…. I was failing!

Thankful Thursday – My Spirituality

I’ve been reading a book, “A Course In Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Lessons for Surrendering Your Weight Forever” by Marianne Williamson, that has been really speaking to my soul.  It’s not an easy book to get through because each chapter is a different lesson on  reconnecting yourself to the Divine and letting go of all the emotional pain that has caused you to gain weight.  So although I’ve been reading the book for a few weeks, I’m barely into the 3 chapter.  This is a true WORK book.  The part of chapter 3 that I’m in right now, talks about letting go and giving to God (or whatever you want to call your higher power) all the things that are too much for you to handle.  I found it very fortuitous (maybe even coincidental) that I”m reading that part of the chapter the night before “Thankful Thursday”.  Because now I have what I’m thankful for!  I am very thankful for the Divine in my life.

Thankful Thursday – Glad I’m Homeschooling In Nevada!

The boys are pretty independent now that they are both in High school.  I don’t talk much about homeschooling anymore because I’m not doing much with their schooling.  We use an online charter high school because I didn’t have the time to devote to their curriculum while running and growing my business.  It was the easiest and best solution.  That being said, I do supplement their education with projects and reports that I assign them to make sure that their education is going in the direction that I want it to.  Today I saw a video excerpt that made me VERY thankful that I am homeschooling in Nevada, though.  This could easily have been me and the boys.

Thank You!

The other day we received in the mail a wonderful Thank You note from Steve’s sister.  She was thanking us for the gifts we sent them for Christmas.  Along with her note was another note from her eldest step-daughter, thanking us for her gift as well.  It was so sweet.  Steve’s mom also sent us a thank you card, thanking us for the gifts and the time she spent with us over the holidays.

Inspiration Comes From The Strangest Places

So here’s our brand new (new to us) Lincoln Towncar.  We bought it the day before New Years Eve!  Believe it or not, we don’t owe anything on it either!  That’s right, NO car payments!!  WOOT!  We traded in my cute, sweet, adorable Beetle and paid a few K in cash and we own it outright!  That’s a testament to how well our business is doing, because we didn’t sacrifice or really even save for this!  No, we still have savings in the bank, money for our business, money for rent, bills and fun on TOP of buying this car!

Thankful Thursday – It’s All About Me

I guess since I didn’t post for two days, that I need to make up for that by posting twice in one day!  LOL!  This Thankful Thursday is all about me though.   I’m thankful for so much in my life, but I have a hard time being thankful for myself.  So today I want to be grateful about me!
