I Am A Work of Art (with a messy room)

Here is a dream summed up in a photo...I desire to have a boutique that sells books and gifts. For now, I am going to continue with the online adventure part of this dream. My hope is to offer Christian books and gifts. So, here I go....God is always with me and with God ALL things are possible!

Read my edited post... Had to find a different company. So, I went back and researched some more. Finally, I found it. (Also, mentioned in the previous post....Alotta Pajs Boutique) I made a sale! 🙌 ______________________________________________________________________ On another note, my son and I went to the movies. We saw the Fantastic Beasts movie! It was awesome, exciting and this girl is anxiously waiting for the next movie. My son made a connection with Grindelwald. He said, "Mom, so, that Grindelwald guy is just like Hitler." He's 10 years old but is super smart and has a mind like a 16 year old. My favorite is at the end when the evil guy, Grindelwald, starts blue, fiery storm. And the music at the point blew me away. He held up his magic wand and conducted like no other. Loved it! _____________________________________________________________________________ It has been a rough couple of days. Some people just don't know how to play nice with...

I entered into the direct sales world and I was going to sell make up! I kept telling myself that I could be successful in an over-saturated market. I've been trying to find my "thing". I think I have found it. I am becoming an online boutique owner! (edited post 12/5/18; I was going to be Sassy...) I jumped into it head first and then found out that I would be selling something that might not be legal in my state. Yes, it was CBD oil and not that I have a problem with it, it's good stuff comes from Hemp and does NOT contain THC. I did some research and found this: " Ohio's  pharmacy board says  CBD oil  is illegal unless  sold  through its medical marijuana program. Columbus — It's being  sold  everywhere from health food stores to vape shops. ... Despite being legal in  Ohio , medical marijuana still cannot be  sold until the state's dispensaries are up and running. Sep 24, 2018 Ohio's pharmacy board says CBD oil is illegal unl...

I am sitting here with a heavy heart. This world lost another beautiful soul today. She was young, smart, beautiful, talented...an angel on earth. I don't know what to say. There are really no words. This girl was a friend of my daughter, a dear member of our band family. I've just spent the last 6 or 7 hours at this girl's home church with her friends and some family. We prayed, we sang, we hugged, we cried....I saw these beautiful teenagers reaching out to each other and just showing love. But the thing that really got me, my youngest (she turns 3 in September) was just dropped off to me. My dear friends watched her so that I could be with my band kids. As we were walking back into the church, she was holding my hand and says, "Jesus is Home! Look, Mom! He's right there!" She then proceeded to point to a shadow that was walking right along with us. There truly was our shadow and then a 2nd shadow next to our shadow. Keep in mind...there was nobody else w...

I've recently made a decision to become a small business owner. Some of thoughts that entered my mind when trying to make this decision were things like, "Who do you think you are trying to do something like this?" Another thought I had while trying out a product for the first time, "What have I got myself into now?" Okay, now you understand the last thought...oh yes, a charcoal mask and oh yes, I did the charcoal mask challenge. I was somewhat successful (or so I thought). 6 weeks later and still haven't made my first order minimum. Which makes me think even more, "Who do you think you are trying to do this?" Here's my answer: I am a Mom who is tired of being bossed around in a thankless corporate world. I want more time with my family. I want work on my own terms. Read my "I" story below: Before I started my business... Full Time Working Mom in a corporate job that I don't love. I started my business because......

My journey continues with this transformation. I have been asking myself this question: Does peace come with transformation? My intuition about this says yes! One way that I have been looking at peace through transformation is through my emotions. I've been reading a book about emotional intelligence. My hope is that I will learn how to deal with these crazy emotions! Transformation starts in the mind is what I have discovered from the Bible. Our thoughts determine our actions. With Christ, out thoughts become new. When your thinking is changed, your actions are changed, and your life is changed. Already with this journey, my life has changed. I have started a new business and I am at peace with some of my thoughts. I am not there yet but always a work in progress. I know that even when the world seems dark, I am beginning to think like Jesus and that confirms to me that He is always with me even when I can't see what's coming. Through Christ, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!...

Transformation is so much more than an outer change! I did some research yesterday while enjoying a day off work and the 4th of July holiday. I spent the morning reading my Bible and reading about my verse: Romans 12:2. I ended up doing a little verse mapping and made a huge discovery! Transformation is not just an outward change but it is also an inward heart change! Mind Blown... Just in case you don't know the verse: Romans 12:2 NIV "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will." I wrote down the following when considering the first line (Do not conform...): Dare to be different! Follow God! When thinking of "this world", this referring to undergoing total change which leads to God's will. Let the change happen. "Your mind" will act under the influence of the spirit. Now, the second pa...

Transformation: trans·for·ma·tion ˌtran(t)sfərˈmāSH(ə)n / noun a thorough or dramatic change in form or appearance. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 NIV That is the word and verse God put on my heart for this year. So far, the journey has taught my what my strengths and weaknesses are: I can do more than I give myself credit for but I tend to take on too much.   My hope is that through this blog I can inspire you and spread love to the world...one sentence at a time. I am posting this today rather than January 1st because today is my new year...New Year in Pink with a Pink Cadillac on my mind. Stay tuned for further posts as I embark on this new journey...
