Off this morning to Santa Barbara for a celebration of life for our Uncle Frank!!!  A awesome man, who asked me when I first met him 17 years ago, what are your functions?  I thought, WHAT???  Since then anytime I do something new, learn something new, create something new, I have a mental note of a new function, and think of Uncle Frank...It was wonderful to hear so many people and their stories of how they were a part of his life.  He was an ADMIRED man......Visiting and seeing people you haven't seen in a long time is always so nice.

My Aunt Suz (who by the is now my aunt by marriage, and will remain my aunt after divorce), is one the most admirable women I know.  Raised by a women (Granny) who by chance, was a wonderful women too, go figure!!!!  Her grace, wisdom, ad strength is something I watch and listen to every chance I get.  I love her like crazy, and am blessed to have her in my life!!!!!

At Home Opportunites

January 11, 2013

Today I am researching ways to make money from home that others can look at in one place.  I am currently working with a company that allows me to be flexible with my schedule with my kids and work a second job as I build my residual income. 

However I know that this opportunity is not for everyone, so I am listing different opportunities that might be appealing to others.  I hope that someone is able to find something that interests them and they become successful in it.  I have listed the first link to the company I am working for.

I hope everyone has a blessed day, and hope to hear some success stories.

Focusing on the positive for the day!!!

Well today was busy.  School for the kids and off to work my part time job.  Spent time working on my website and sending out more resumes.  Received two calls for interviews next week , one with the help of my sister who contacted someone that could get me an interview.  I am blessed with family that loves me and prays for me.  Basketball game tonight for Allysa (won 58-7).  

An encouraging phone call from one of my dearest and most inspirational friends to continue my path to independent financial freedom.  The team I am so blessed to work with never gives up on me.  Last year I began working for a 27 year old direct sales manufacturing company.  I did so well in the beginning with so much motivation and the most wonderfull group of girls.  As with most things, the fire dies down, and fizzles out.  I let it!!!!  Now it is time is get back in the saddle and begin my journey to independence.

Tonight I will pray to be open to God's will for me.  Amazing that two days in a row, I have had two inspirational women call me to motivate me.  Focusing on those instead of everything else that is going on feels good.

God Bless You

SINGLE MOM STARTING OVER..DAY 1

SINGLE MOM STARTING OVER

Hmmm, January 8, 2013....today I will begin my journey through 2013, along with those that want to follow with me.  I want to meet and hear from people, there struggles, and how they overcame them.  More so, how they overcame them. I want to overcame along side women that are in the same place as I am, so we can prevail together.  I want to do this with people I don't even know and they don't me.  Everyone I know, knows my story, and there is a stigma along with that connection.  Part of starting over, will be just that.  Starting with new perspective and new thoughts from others.  I can't wait to meet everyone I will meet this year!

Here I am 41 years old, single mother of two,  part time job, no child support, looking for a job in an economy that is not hiring.  How did I get here, is the conversation I have with myself every morning, of course, after I get up off my knees from the prayer I have asking God to guide me thru my day.

Today however, I had a sense of peace come over me after talking to a previous boss I worked for asking if I could use her for a reference on the resumes I was sending out.  Quite a phenominal conversation with a wonderfully wise woman who in recent years has turned her life over to God.  I have not worked for her since 1998, and through the phone I felt the connection we had just as when I worked for her.  But now through my tears, I hear a woman of God.  How refreshing, happy, and peacefull, she sounded as she spoke to me.  As our conversation ended, I thanked her, and told her I needed this conversation today.

I have never blogged before, but I overheard someone talk about a daily diary that you could share.  I have thought about it for a couple of days, and today is the day. 

I AM OFFICIALLY A BLOGGER.
