Business is good! I'm meeting a lot of nice woman and I'm having so much fun helping them to earn free jewelry, or to help them start their own business with Origami Owl Custom Jewelry. I must say it truly is rewarding! Where else can you meet new people, make them smile, and make a nice income while working from home on your own time? With so many companies closing down or moving out of our country, good jobs are scarce, and daycare is expensive. I think more and more people, are looking for a way to stay home with their kids. I think there is less stress involved with home business too. You can schedule your appointments around your business and not worry about the "boss" giving you grief for missing work, after all, YOU are your own boss.

I wanted to make a blog to promote my business. I still haven't shared my blog yet, because I'm not done setting it up. Technology always gets the best of me. But as with most things, I'm learning as I go. My friend Robyn has a great blog, I love the way it looks and she's such a great writer. I hope to not bore you all in the future, and I give you a reason to keep coming back.

In the meantime, as I had said before, I always promote my favorite websites, ect.. so if you have time, please check out Robyn's blog, I really believe you'll enjoy it.  http://robynlindsey.com/

I guess that's all for today. See you soon :)

Sometimes, things don't always go the way we want. I seem to struggle finding my place in this world. As you know, I like to keep busy. I love to socialize. I love meeting new people. But some situations terrify me. I try to "fit in" but I become uncomfortable. Other times, I feel right at home, depending on the situation.

When I'm quiet,  I don't always have a lot to say. People then think I'm snobby or sad,  I'm not snobby or sad. I'm just quiet. Why do people have to pre-judge? Why can't they just get to know me first?

I used to be a lot of fun. (Funny, "used" to be. ) I still am!!. Especially when I'm around people I know, people I'm familiar with. I love to joke around, I LOVE to laugh. I know my attitude has changed. It happens when things happen in your life you have no control over it.
But I try. I'm actually a very fun positive kind of person. I try to keep my private life private. Funny, since I'm now venting on a blog. lol

I'm trying to socialize more. Trying new events, trying new websites to promote my business. Since it's hard for me to actually get out into the world, the web has become my outlet. Someday things will change.
 But for now, I struggle to fit in. I stay busy.I'm trying new things. oh BTW, I just wrote 2 books. Well actually one, but 2 different versions. And it's not really a book you read, like a story, but more of a help book.

My Favorite Websites  & Websites, Passwords, E-mails and more  is not available yet. But will be on Amazon. It's just a book to keep all your passwords and website info.

I got the idea one night, while rewriting my own little notebook that I keep all that info in. I figured why not? My friend Robyn wrote a few books, and she's always encouraged me to write something. I started a recipe book on family recipes I've used and made, but still haven't finished it. But I finished my 2 books in a week. So, I'm proud of myself.

Well, enough for today. I have things to do. Hope you all have a super day!!

It's Monday

    It's Monday. Yup, a new week. My weekend had some challenges. Some with family, some with trying to catch up with friends, some with trying to make a book. Not write a book, but I'm trying to make a useful book. And yes, of course I'll share, when it's done.

    I know at times I take on too much. Well at least it feels that way. I have my Mom I care for, she lives with us, I try to stay connected with fiends and family, make time for my husband, and sometimes my grandson stops in and spends the night. I'm also trying to build my business and help others with theirs.  Of course there's keeping up with e-mails ( I have 4) feeding the dog and cats, doing housework ect... (sigh) Sometimes it seems like I'm always busy, but nothing gets accomplished. I guess I'm just having " one of those days."

    But it's Monday, the laundry is almost done, I closed on a party, gave my grandson a ride to school, folded clothes and I actually put them away, not just left folded on the bureau because I got distracted. I'm also  trying to clean the clutter, ( do you have clutter?) I have no idea where it comes from, but it's got to go! So I have someone coming to get some of my clutter. I'm sure they'll make good use of it, and I can check that off my list.

  My goals for the week are to help 3 people get started with their own business. This is my favorite part. It's so exciting! And I want to finish my "book". I also put on my (to do) list, to find a computer class to help me learn how to use WORD or NOTEPAD or EXCEL , well you know what I mean. If I'm going to work on the web, I guess it's time to learn a few things. And to think, back in high school, I was so mad, because we had to buy a calculater, ( which were expensive back then) and I couldn't understand why we had to use a calculater, instead of our brains. I bet most kids have no idea how to divide on paper. I think computers are bad. But, it's so common now, it's hard to be without one. I'm just as guilty.

Seems like I was more organized when I had 3 kids to pick up/ drop off at scouts , basketball, friends, and work 3 jobs. But those days are gone. I love my time at home, I love being with my mom, I love being able to work from home, but I sure don't like being so unorganized. Have you ever heard the saying.. " The faster I go, the behinder I get" ? That's me lately.

 We've had a mild winter, but I'm axiously waiting for spring to get here. I want to start on my garden. Then the caring of the garden and the compost bin, and mowing and picking of flowers and planning cookouts with friends and family. Ahhh I must say, I love staying busy !!

So may we all have a productive week. Time to add to my To Do List :)
