Wow - I haven't blogged in a while! I think about it every now and then, but it just hasn't been a priority.
Working on all the things that have come my way has been my joy!
I've continued to stay busy enough with Avon to keep it going, unexpectedly got to participate in a grand opening where I got to set up a table to show off XanGo, and then got the chance to build a website for friends at church.
Aglow always keeps me busy, and I'm looking forward to getting all the stuff in my house straightened, sorted and all in order.
I continue every day to be extremely joyful to be unemployed, I am so blessed!

I had promised myself, and told my husband, that the next time the Lord woke me up, I would get up and go meet with Him ~
The other night, when I rolled over to look at the clock, it was 11:11, on 11/11.
I got up directly and searched the Word for each and every 11:11.
A
couple of the verses really spoke to me as far as being an Aglow leader
- the first one was Numbers 11:11, when Moses said to God "Why have you
put this burden of these people on me?"
Then in Deu. 11:11, the land where we go is ...

What a day! What a week! Is it only Tuesday?
I
woke at 11:29 last night to write down a dream, and then checked online
to see when would be the best time to go out and see the Leonids. I was
glad to wake up again at 4:30, and went outside to look up into the
sky. I saw about a dozen, maybe just 11, lights in the sky as the
particles of... Continue reading...

Stopped to smell the Roses in November
It's hard to believe another week has passed - tomorrow will be four whole weeks since I had to report to work at 8am!
It has been incredibly busy, rewarding, exhausting... and I am still loving every minute of it!
It
was one day last week when I made the short walk out to the mail box
and as I walked by, I smelled the faint perfume of the tiny white roses
by the short mud lane that serves as our driveway. I said 'Thank You
Lord' for small... Continue reading...

Whew - sorted my entire primary yahoo in-box into appropriate folders -
I love an empty in-box! Only when it means I have sorted all the emails
LOL! For that box, it was over 2,000 - the biggest task first! Today
is the first day since Feb. 26, 1993 that we have not been the parents
of a teenager. Early January it will be over and we will do it again
until 2017. A 60 day respite, sure it won't change much, but gives us a
breather anyway. Lots of other things on my plate today, but I don't have... Continue reading...

Still wish I could help find my daughter's drivers license - she needs
it badly in order to take her test on Saturday. At least I had the
opportunity to look! I checked with my friend that I will be
installing hardware and software for - the computer just shipped today
but she already received Quickbooks and the printer - so will be able
to get on that as soon as it is delivered. Shouldn't have too far to go
though, Dell ships out of Round Rock right? Took two sizable
Avon orders by email and d... Continue reading...

What joy to be able to meet a friend for lunch and talk for over two hours! It is amazing to see how the Lord makes Divine Connections - He always knows who we will resonate with. She is also already helping me spread the word and will be an Avon customer. Picked up the Aglow bag so I can take it with me to Conference, leave early tomorrow morning. Just realized that Mike Bickle is one of the keynote speakers - wow, this is going to be so good! Graham Cooke and Asher Intrater and Brian Ming - ... Continue reading...

Yesterday I got quite a bit done, still lots more - but wow, how nice to decide what to do when and to be able to adjust when needed! I got to give an Avon book to the video store lady, and have a good excuse to follow up since I need to pay the late fee, didn't have a new checkbook with me. Placed my Avon Campaign 22 order and ordered Camp. 24 brochures. Talked to Deb at Contractor Businessman to get permission to use text off their website as I build mine, and let her know that I looked at th... Continue reading...

Funny - I had to let a bird out of the fireplace today. I shut doors in the house and opened the front door, but couldn't coax it out or see it again. I left the room and after I had forgotten about it (and closed the front door), there it was in the kitchen. I jumped up and re-opened the door, and out flew the beautiful blue bird. Made me remember how I had told a friend at work recently that the bird was me. You see, there was a motion activated bird that we had set by the door at the shop, a... Continue reading...
