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!
365 Thank Yous – Thank You Julie!
I wanted to give a great big Thank you to my friend Julie. She’s a CPA and Steve and I had some questions about our business, taxes, and turning our business into an LLC. She met us this morning at… Continue reading
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.
Extreme Parenting – Confessions of a Liger Mom Pussy Cat
Yes, I said “Liger” not tiger! A Liger is half lion and half tiger. I’ve been reading about all the controversy over Amy Chua’s book and essay on WSJ “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior“. Her book is “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Amy Chua“. She uses the symbol of the Tiger as someone who is authoritative and powerful. Well if you know anything about Lions you’ll know that they are mostly lazy, but the females do all the hard work. So I figured, I’m sorta a combination of the two… with a little pussy cat thrown in!

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.

Thankful Thursday – My Mom

There are a lot of people that I love and am thankful for in my life. There are people who have been supportive of me, who have helped me in so many different ways. But none of them compare to my mom. Even as a little girl I knew how lucky I was to have her as a mom, and that has never changed. That is why I wanted to say Thank You to My Mom today on this beautiful Thankful Thursday.
Dreamcatchers for Abused Children Fundraiser
Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization that helps to save, and prevent child abuse of all kinds. They are an organization that I found out about through MommyPR. They do wonderful work and help to spread news, information and educate the public about child abuse. For a limited time One Busy Moma is helping them with a fundraiser to provide Scentsy Buddies to abused children. Let’s help them spread the word and give a little love and comfort to children who have none.
365 Days of Thank Yous – Double Post
This weekend was a nice one. I got to see one of my best friends and her new little baby, got to spend some “quality” time with Steve, and even got to meet one of my long time customers face to face. There’s so many people I have to say thank you to, I don’t know where to start! Since I didn’t post yesterday, I figured I’d do a double helping of thanks though! Maybe more.
