Back From Vacation And Looking Forward to 2009!

I got back from Georgia a couple of days ago and promptly came down with a very bad cold, thus the delay in updating my blog. What is going one right now? Well, my best paying program is still "10 Dollars Wonder" it continues to pay me on a daily basis (see it listed under my programs section) and I recently joined a new "club" called "Birthday Bonus Club".






The basic premise (sounds like fun) is you sign up and your friends can send you a nice monetary gift between $2 and $5. You in turn have the option of sending your sponsors a gift when it is their birthday...it seems to be a real cute little program and just think instead of getting something you can't use on your birthday, you wake up to a little cash! Wouldn't that make your birthday a little happier!

Okay, the shameless promotion is over for now (but like every good show, the bills must be paid, lol). I will now leave you with what I sent out to my family and friends for a new year wish...

"Remember, We write our own life's story, one day at a time. So make the most of this new year. Plan ahead, and plan well, so at the end of this new year, we can look back at great accomplishments and great lessons learned. Say a prayer for those who did not make it to see 2009 and in turn, say another one for all of us still here. Fight the good fight to change the world around us and take joy in the small and simple. Cry to cleanse and laugh to heal. Always count your blessings because there is always someone who is worse off than you. Give the gift of kind words and a smile, because someone is always in need. Thank you, each and everyone for being a part of my "family" circle."

Hope that your 2009 brings you everything good you want and need!

On The Road Again and Again and Again

Just moved to Oklahoma, a couple of weeks ago, and now we are going back to Georgia for the holidays! The 12+ hr drive is a doozy and not something that anyone looks forward to. But it must be done because it is cheaper than all of us flying...

I will be away from my main computer and perhaps busy - but if possible I will be on my youngster's laptop and update what I am doing.

Here is a quick tip for anyone who is going to school online: make sure you keep up with what your financial aid department is doing with your funds...you may be surprised.

And one last note, I am trying to learn how to do Trading, don't laugh, I really am interested in all the ways there are to make a little dough...

Talk to you, later...

Ode to a Reviewer, lol

Someone reviewed my website today and in retaliation (after I reviewed theirs and gave them what I thought to be constructive criticism-which is the whole point of the review site) said that I needed to get a life and stay away from the computer. They thought my last post was too negative and while it was not the most positive of my posts, this IS a blog where I can put my thoughts and feelings to words. I am not here to sugar coat anything for anyone. I write like I am talking to my best friend so if you get offended by my personal thoughts than it is your prerogative not to read...

Anywhoooooo, it is the holiday season and a time when many people overspend. I will not be going overboard this year - my kids will get one main gift from me and some small trinkets. Why overextend for one day in the year? I want them to start to understand that the holidays are mainly a way to spend time with their loved ones and get away from the hubbub of every day life. I did not put up fairy lights or candles or a tree this year. Going to Georgia to visit family and if the kids want to decorate a tree then they can do that there.

Now, time for a quick commercial:
I am still making good money from "10 Dollars Wonder" so if you are interested in a program that is ongoing steady, feel free to take a look at the link under my list of programs...

The ice is starting to melt and my youngest has been out of school for 3 days now due to terrible road conditions. I will be glad when the weather gets back to normal, though it has given me the time to do some administrative work on my programs.

Hope you have a good one and thanks for reading!

A Means to an End or Making Ends Meet...

I am posting today with mixed spirits, I am down a bit because the year is ending and I am not yet close to my goals. That being said I do have hope for the new year coming. I have learned quite a bit this year, some things that are good and other things that are just a disappointing slap in the face.

First, the bad: People that I have met in my life this past year (and some that I have unfortunately known for years) continue to disappoint me. They wear a face that says they are human with emotions and heart, but deep down they are as bleak or evil as the Grinch from Dr. Seuss's book. I won't go into details but, lets just say that I have learned a valuable lesson about people. And that is, that everyone has their own agenda, human kindness notwithstanding. I am kind of down this holiday season, because I am unable to see the good in people, I have lost the last of my childlike innocence and it is indeed a shame...


The Good: I have my goals clearly defined for 2009 and that is to acquire as much knowledge and wealth as possible. Focus on these areas will make my life and the life of my family a lot better. I do a lot of reading and my life is taking a new direction. One thing that I would like to make a note of is the fact that we Internet marketers are in a good position to make money and a lot of us do not even realize it. There are so many opportunities to partake in and it has me quite excited! I am currently working to help spread the word about Team OrangeMoon. If you haven't heard the buzz about this group, then you are either new or asleep! Our group shut down two servers last Saturday, due to all the new members trying to sign up. You can join the team for free and pick and choose which program you want to get involved with: http://www.team-orangemoon.com/.

Anyway, writing once again has helped me to feel better... until next time, Ciao!

Revamping For The New Year!

I am changing my approach to what programs I involve myself in. My new rule is to not take on anything that has a monthly fee. Right now, I am only paying a monthly fee for my Lotto club membership and for my hosting (for another program). Because of the way the economy has been going, the new trend seems to be programs that only cost a low one time fee; if you can get the referrals you can easily be in profit. So I am now trying to learn ways to get others to see the benefits of these types of programs because a little bit of help goes a long way, especially if you are involved with multiple programs...

Moved to Oklahoma

My kids and I have finally joined my husband in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We are still in the process of getting the house together, which is going slowly due to the fact that I have caught my first cold of the Fall season. As I am feeling really under the weather, I have been going to bed earlier than usual. I will tally my daily earnings from my passive online endeavors in my next post. Just a note, though, I have surpassed my $20.00 goal...

Election Day!!!!!

Today is the day we make a difference at the polls (if you haven't already)! I, of course, always wait until the last minute to do anything that makes me have to drive in Atlanta traffic (sigh)... But I will gladly put my two cents in to try and make a difference as an American citizen. But know this, change will not come from just voting, change has always been in the hands of the ordinary joe or joette. It is up to us to touch someone else's life and make this world a better place to live in. My challenge to you in the new year is to make an active effort to help someone achieve their best. Reach out and mentor a child or teen. Read to an elderly person. Fight racism, sexism, and any other kind of 'ism that keeps our world from prospering in the way that it should. After all, change really begins with me and you...
