Well it's the end of another week. I hope it was a good one for you. If not here's a quote to consider:
"Nothing is worth more than this day."
– Goethe
It's simple but true when you really think about it. So just keep that in mind instead of replaying things in your mind that didn't work out the way you wanted. Think about how you would've preferred things to turn out and work towards it today.
In any event, I've found some new work at home jobs. But before we get to them, let's get some housekeeping items out the way to prevent any confusion, hateful comments, threats, demands, etc… You know who you are.
Hello All. I'm back. Sorry I've been MIA. Obviously it's been hard to focus on work considering the tragedy going on in my homeland. Fortunately by the grace of God and your prayers, all of my family members are alive. This is wonderful news for me but it still deeply saddens me to see what's happening in Haiti.
That being said, you know I try to stay positive in the face of adversity and have always encouraged you to do the same. So I'm taking a bit of my own advice. I've been viewing this tragedy as fresh start for my homeland which obviously had a troubled past. Although the ground continues to shake in Haiti, I know that the country will be better in the future. I'm confident that this will happen because of the financial, spiritual and emotional outpouring of folks like you and the world. So that's what I focus on. I don't bother watching the negative reports on the news because ultimately I don't think it helps the cause.
What I focus on is the miracles of rescue and survival which don't get the same spot light as the hate being spewed or the other peripheral nonsense being reported on. I would encourage you to do the same. Continue to pray and support in any way you can. Don't get sucked into the hype.
Finally, I just want to say thanks again for the folks that sent prayers, dollars, food, clothes and love to my brethren in Haiti. This tragedy truly re-affirmed my belief that we can come together for a common good regardless of race, sex, religion or political beliefs. Because at the end of the day we're all human beings and that's pretty much all that matters. So thanks again!
One another note, one of my projects to help you find more work at home jobs is pretty much done. So I should announce it this coming week or the week after at the latest. So stay tuned.
In any event, I've found some new work at home jobs. But before we get to them, let's get some housekeeping items out the way to prevent any confusion, hateful comments, threats, demands, etc… You know who you are.
So how has 2010 been treating you so far? Or shall I say how have you been treating it? Are you going into the new decade with a different mindset? Are you shutting out the negative influences? Are you believing that this will be your best year yet despite what the reports may be saying?
If not, it's never too late to make that mindset change. I'll do my part and be that broken record to keep you there. But watch out for those negative Nancies. They always seem to rear their ugly heads when you're trying to better yourself. I've already had to do some deleting of comments and emails from miserable folks trying to steal my joy. You be sure to do the same. Trust me when I say it's not worth the effort in engaging in intelligent conversation with these type of people.
With that in mind let's get your 2010 started off right with some leads.
I've found some new work at home jobs. But before we get to them, let's get some housekeeping items out the way to prevent any confusion, hateful comments, threats, demands, etc… You know who you are.
Hello All, Hope you had a great week. The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic for me. I spent a week or two in cabin fever mode. We locked ourselves in the condo as we put my princess through potty training. Truth be told, I think it took more of a toll on us than it did her. But I think she's finally mastered that skill. Not bad for a girl that isn't 2 yet. lol
If that wasn't enough, we've been doing some home shopping. My little condo feels like the walls are finally closing in on me. Ever since my little girl has learned how to walk there is no place to hide. So the past couple of weeks we've visited some homes in the hope of finding our vision of the "Salomon Compound". Here are some things I've learned about house shopping.
1. What you think you might need and what you really do need are two different things. I initially thought I would pretty much be happy with a home that was double the size of our current condo and a little land. This way my daughter and the dog had some place to roam and I wouldn't be responsible for too much yard work.
However after seeing a few homes. I realize that I probably need triple the space for family entertaining. The need for a small yard has been replaced with the desire of an acre or two so I can have an ATV and private paintball field in my my backyard. It's not a neccessity like large living space, bedrooms, office and a "man cave". But it's become more of a priority now that I can see what I can get out there. lol
2. Homeowners aren't the best marketers. I've visited several homes. Some of the ones that stand out in my mind for the wrong reasons include a home where a dirty bra was left hanging on a bathroom door and some dudes draws were plastered on the bathroom floor.
Fortunately I've watched enough HGTV where I've learned to ignore things that may not be to my liking. But usually that would mean paint, carpets, wall paper, etc. I wasn't prepared to see folks personal garments out and about. I don't know about you but when I know company is coming over, I tidy up. I'll keep it real, I'm a neat freak. So I tidy up constantly. But if I'm trying to sell my home, you better believe I'm really going to clean it up so buyers see themselves in it. So if you're trying to sell your house, you might want to keep that in mind.
In any event I've found some new work at home jobs. But before we get to them, let's get some housekeeping items out the way to prevent any confusion, hateful comments, threats, demands, etc… You know who you are.
