Keep moving Forward!!!

I need a breath of fresh motivation. When life takes over and pressing priorities seem overwhelming it is really tough to stay motivated. Working for yourself has many rewards. The ability to have some level of control over your work life, when you work, how often you work, etc.. That flexibility can also be a disadvantage. When life gets complicated, it is too easy to put your work on the back burner to deal with what feels like more pressing priorities. So, for the past two weeks, my Jewelry business has definitely been on the back burner. That leaves me in the position of having to get re-charged, and start fresh. It also means I lost any momentum I had going. So I am not going to wait till Monday, waiting is a cop out. I am going to complete a minimum of three tasks today (calls, mailing etc..) that will move my business in a positive direction. I will also be purchasing a Mega Millions ticket, on the off chance that God has grander plans for me. Then I will gear up to be out in the world at wrestling tournaments, and hockey games, and restaurants, wearing FABULOUS Stella & Dot jewelry, ready and waiting for the compliments and questions about where to get it. My cards and catalogs will be ready to offer, and I WILL follow-up! ( I am basically giving myself a pep talk right now, and you are getting the unique opportunity to hear me talk to myself. If you were driving past me today, you might even get to SEE me talk to myself, as I give myself another pep talk while I drive) So have a fantastic weekend everyone!

Quiet days of Summer- Ha!! Lol....

Summer is a wonderful time if you have the luxury to stay home with your kids and enjoy the slower pace.  Lazy days, pool time, reading, outings, and spending time at the beach is good for the soul.  If you are a parent who keeps your kids home with you vs. sending them to camp--- there is also a dark side to the lazy days of Summer. I know many Moms who say loud and proud, "I can't wait till Summer!! Oh yeah! Only 3 more weeks!!, Oh no! It's over already! We need a few more weeks!!" Are you one of those? Do you say it with a straight face? Ok, maybe you are sincere.  Bully for you, you win the Mom medal. Those are NOT my people.  I love my kids, don't get me wrong, I really do.  I love reading time, and lego time, and swimming, and picnics at the beach-- as much as any other Mom.  Let's get real for a minute though.  We can't play down the other side of life with kids. The constant fighting The whining The meltdowns (yes one of our guys st...

New season of renewal & refinement

I am a girl with strong faith.  Strong, blind, childlike faith.  My atheist friends are bewildered by it.  They cannot understand how such a smart woman would believe such "nonsense".  I have no explanation other than, I just do. I preface this post with that statement because, you won't find me quoting scripture here.  Though I would if I were more confident in my ability to do so competently.  I do not have that confidence, never have.  I am a believer.  My belief has been nurtured by life experience, by answered prayers, by constant evidence that God cares about me.  I see his hand in big things and small. I look to him for guidance and help in all things.  I am not a Biblical scholar.  I have always been somewhat insecure about that.  I am bolstered up by the words of a Godly woman much wiser than I who assures me that "I am living my walk out loud".  My faith is not in my knowledge of the scripture, but in the...

To get something good, first we have to tolerate chaos.

I am swirling in chaos! Our little remodeling projects, ie: painting the boys rooms, have resulted in a whirl of mess, mess, mess. My husband has been diligently painting walls, repurposing furniture, meanwhile all of the clothing, shoes, toys, junk, furniture we are no longer using, etc... is lining the hallways and rooms of my house! We have tried to engage the boys in this project, but it has somehow eluded them that they have any responsibility for putting the house back together, so it it a painful exercise of command and whine. Today, we must put it back, we cannot start the week in madness. So my day, is going to be interesting. They need to help, a lot. I need to figure out how to motivate them to help, without them feeling like they are being tortured. Wish me luck, at 10:30, video games, and NFL TV go off, and cleaning commences. I'd better have another cup of coffee, and pray for the next half hour, I'm gonna need it.
