When I had my own AVON business going, I thought about renting a small space to store inventory and sell out of.  I had heard of a few ladies opening up little shops to run their businesses out of and thought it was a great idea.  BEFORE I started looking into things like  epson tm-t88iv receipt printers, credit card machines, cash registers and the like.  All things I would need in order to make my shop efficient.  All of which , in themselves, wouldn’t be too bad as far as cost, but add them up and it’s a lot of money!!  I soon found out that the business I would get in my area would not be enough to warrant such purchases!! Oh well, I’m just glad I figure that out before I rented out a space and bought a bunch of equipment I wouldn’t use!!

I had been blogging for a very short time when I heard that you could actually make money doing it.  A friend of mine told me she was making $200-$300 every two weeks just doing paid posts on her blog.  So, I thought I would check it out and see if I could make money at it.  Almost two years later, I am making some money, and I am loving it, but I feel like with the right connections, I could be making much more.  So when I heard about business2blogger, you can imagine how excited I was to check it out!!   They do all the hard work for you, FOR FREE!!! They connect the right businesses to the right bloggers and the right bloggers to the right businesses.  So, now that I am signed up with them, maybe I can finally start making some real money doing what I love to do!!  Thanks for a great opportunity guys!!

The State I live in has the highest rate of UN employment in the country!!!! It’s times like this when I am so thankful that I am married to a Godly man who is more interested in being in God’s will than “the bottom line”.  He feels that it is God’s will (and so do I) that we work here at Fort Faith Bible Camp as “missionaries”.  Not once since we have been out here have we had to worry about paying our bills.  God always provides! So even though we are both technically unemployed because we do not have “regular” paying jobs, we are beyond wealthy in so many ways!!

OK,  so whoever did the tile work in our old house, sucked at it!! I mean big time.   And because we are trying to sell our house, I think it needs to be changed.  The grout work is terrible, the tiles aren’t even straight and they cracked some of them when they put them up.  Not that I would do any better, but I know this about myself and would make let someone else do it!! I found some gorgeous glass tiles that I would love to use, but now I’m thinking, maybe not just at the old house, but here at my new house, too!! Wait til I tell my husband!! LOL

I have a friend who likes “unique” things.  I am always at a loss as to what to get her for her birthday, Christmas, etc.  I find I am always struggling when it come to finding gifts for her.  Only because the more “unique” or unusual gifts are often more expensive, although that isn’t always the case.  You just have to know where to go to find them!!

Blessings….

Hey everybody!! How’s it going?  Just wanted to share with you something I stumbled upon today!! My friend Jay and his friends have started a brand new business, Business2Blogger.  They are providing businesses a  way to connect with people who have connections on the internet to promote their products and/or services AND a way for us die-hard bloggers to make a little green doing what we love.  AND it’s free for the business and it’s free for us bloggers to get connected with each other!!  Head on over and see what all the fuss is about!!!

and of course,  as always,  Be Blessed!!

When I was little all I ever wanted was to be a teacher or a mom.  I never thought I would like anything else.   Then when I got older I realized I was interested in medicine.  Not being a doctor, but helping them.  I was never interested in the jobs in administration, though.  I wanted to take vitals and  blood and give shots and all the cool stuff.  But when it came right down to it, being a wife and mother was enough for me.  What are some of your ambitions in life?

Gifts are wonderful things.  They can be sentimental, carefree, from the heart or just off the cuff.  A gift can say “I love you”, “I like you a lot”,  or  even “I’m sorry”.  There are many reasons why one might by a gift for another.  There are birthdays and holidays, friendships and love affairs, and there are those times when you want to say you are sorry for one reason or another.

So, how does one know what to get and when?  This can be  especially difficult for men.  I know, some men are great “gifters”, but honestly, I think a lot of men could use some help in this department.  For example, in a new relationship, when is a  necklace more appropriate than a ring?  Or a bracelet better than a necklace?

When I’m sorry just isn’t enough, what will be? Maybe this will say it all…

The next time my hubby has to say “I’m sorry” or when he just wants to let me know how much he still loves me, I hope he’ll take the time to check out some “Tips for Guys” from Bella True!!!

Need a great gift idea for someone you love??  Need a great gift idea to treat yourself???  How about a pair of gloves that are functional, yet fashionable??  Michael Kors leather gloves might be just what you need!  Does it get any better than studded leather??  I think not!!  Maybe you should put these babies on your Christmas list for Santa!!

Well, I have a decision to make.  I am thinking about applying for social security disability.  I have been told that I should apply because I have never held a “real” job for more than six months. My Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder make it nearly impossible for me to maintain a job.  I applied a long time ago, but my husband made too much money, but now that he is without a paying job, I may be accepted…..should I apply or not???
