2011 is going to ROCK!!!

I am so psyched! This is the month that I am going to start taking my business seriously. For those of you who have known me for years, you know that I have been the woman of many ideas. I am the chronic entrepreneur. My husband and I have owned a photography business, doing digital before anyone was doing digital (taking Santa & Easter bunny photos in two mall locations). I then evolved into a Creative Memories business, teaching people how to protect, and document their lives-- loved that, still do it, just not as a business. I then had a fantastic idea to open a "Sno Ball" kiosk in a mall-- not cost effective to run in a mall, and toooooo much competition from roadside sno ball shacks in good ole' Baltimore. I may yet repeat that idea on an unsuspecting and Sno Ball deprived Southern California audience-- more to come on that one, I am still mulling it around in my head. I have sold jewelry, then purses, from the lovely line called Beijo. I have beautified the skin of many with Arbonne, while I like the product, the whole skin care, home party thing just didn't rev my engine. All the while, behind the scenes, I have been making jewelry for fun. Occasionally I will sell a piece because someone loves something I am wearing, and I will custom make one for them. I have never had enough confidence in my ability to call myself a designer, I just make jewelry for fun, right? Well, I have decided in this new year, that my designs are really nice, and it is selfish to not share them. So I have decided to start selling my jewelry, along with a line of jewels that I absolutely love (Stella & Dot) at home trunk shows and boutiques. I can't wait. February is my break out month. So friends! Wish me luck! Keep checking out this blog for new designs. By all means if you live far from me and cannot get to one of my trunk shows-- feel free to call me or email me and order something from the blog. I'll even ship it for free! Pray for me too, please, for my energy, and creative eye, for faithfulness to keep pushing even when things aren't going smoothly..... I so appreciate your prayers!

The Sky is Blue

I want to thank all of you who lift my family up in prayer.  I thank all of you who give us encouragement.  I try really hard to see the cup 1/2 full, and most days I do.  I was feeling a little down last night, but today is a new day.  Blue skies remind me of how much I am loved.  Have an awesome day friends. And.....on a side note.... Go Viewpoint Patriots!!! We are in the playoffs! Wooo Hoooooo!

Networking can be expensive!

I went to a cool women's networking meeting the other night. It was with an organization called Heartlink . It was at some one's house. An awesome dinner was served. Tables set, lovely hospitality, and about 20 very interesting women were there. We each got 3 minutes to introduce ourselves and tell a bit about our business's. Most of the women knew each other already. Many of the women present had business's that sell through direct marketing. Most of the big ones were represented, and a few new ones I had never heard of but found interesting. There were also women with other business's like insurance, legal services, printing, etc... It is great to meet like minded people, and I can definitely see the benefits of attending regularly. The bad part however, is it leaves you wanting to go shopping! All of a sudden, I MUST have the new mango cutter from Pampered Chef, and I am yearning to freshen up my candles, and I NEED a hole new wardrobe from CABi . ...

Believing isn't so hard

Why do I believe what I can't see?  That is a valid question. I get it from well intentioned people just trying to understand our differences I guess. I'll try to answer as best as I can. The college years especially, are a time of exploration.  We think in a less inhibited way.  We behave in a less inhibited way.  We ponder, and process, and get emotional about issues we think are important.  It is definitely an important step in the process of maturing.  I too, explored, pondered, got emotional, and was uninhibited. I remember especially being passionate about the right to a woman's choice.  I never took the idea of abortion lightly.  I held the hands of a few friends along the way, as they made that very difficult choice.  I praise God that I was never faced with that decision, I am not sure what I would have done at that stage of my life. I would like to think I would have chosen life, but I can't say for sure. I don't believe that ab...
