It's Okay to Give it Away!

Oh, yes, I am so enjoying my first week back from Rhea Lana!  It's work as usual, but wow, no long, long hours like last week!  Yes, I'm still up at 3:40 every morning typing, but at least when I'm done with my shift, I'm done!!!  I miss the friends I have there, but life is keeping me busy.  My supplies are still empty, but this weekend I plan on getting the goods I need to complete a few orders I have.  I am honored to be making Kristie (the owner of Searcy's Rhea Lana" some bedding for the bunkbeds she bought from me (YAYYYYY!!!!) for her daughter.  I consider myself blessed beyond measure to be a part of Searcy RL and to call Kristie my friend.  She has been sooooo good to me, as have all the great girls at RL, and it is so exciting everytime she or her daughter choose to buy anything from me!  The color scheme is completely gorgeous and fun (lime, electric blue, zebra, hot pink) and I can't wait to put something cool and unique together for her.  Plus, my dear friend, Beth, who has recently relocated to Texas, has put in a hefty order of bows, butterfly clips, and headbands that I am trying to organize.  I've done several orders for Beth as well and always consider myself lucky and honored to do work for her 3 beautiful daughters, too.  She already knows that I plan on doing something special for her, too.  People tend to not want me to do things for them outside of their orders because they don't like me giving away stuff free, but I try to tell them and convince them that God has blessed me so richly and I feel that He has because He knows how much I love to gift some of my creations to others.  Granted, they are usually modest gifts, but I find such joy in doing it and quite honestly, I get a blessing from each one I do.  Maybe that's selfish, I don't know.  Whatever it is, I pray that God allows me the opportunity to continue to do it. 



Slooooowly I'm restocking my Etsy shop, but really slowly!  I have so much stuff I'd like to list, but will be choosy because of listing fees.  Oh, well.  Most people know what I have and if I don't list what they want they'll ask.  I hope that continues as well! 

That's gonna do it for today.  I have a busy day to get started now that my work shift is over.  Until my next blog, thanks for reading!

Brand Spankin New Chapter in My Life

Where do I even start?  It's been two years since my last entry and wow, so much has changed in my life.  I guess I'll just start where my ADHD mind will take me and the first thing that comes to mind is this...I joined our local 10 Fitness gym not too long after my last entry.  I made new friends there, friends who I'd gone to church with for years, but new friendships with them.  After being at the gym a few times together my friend, Mandy, became my first ever gym partner.  Boy, we kicked it good.  We split the use of a personal trainer for about six months and then took on the training ourselves.  It was awesome to say the least!  But to explain that, I'll have to take you back to a much earlier time in my life...a time that was dark and quite frankly scary.  You can stop reading now if you want, or if you choose to go further, I want to warn you...I'm going to reveal some dark secrets from my past, secrets that I don't take lightly, but...

Waiting...Learning...Loving

I can't express how blessed I feel to be able to have my days free of medical transcription, y'all.  Every morning when I return from school drop off I have time to sit down and actually read my bible...not just a chapter, two if I'm lucky, but actually read and study .  There's even a new passion to do my Sunday School "homework" whereas before I just plain ole didn't do it.  I'm in Romans right now and it's almost like I'm reading it for the first time even though I've read it hundreds of times over the years.  I'm working on my third entire consecutive read-through of the bible.  When I finish reading it all the way through I just start over and do it again.  I want to keep God's word fresh in my mind and forever in my heart.  There may come a day, sadly, when in America it's illegal to keep a bible or perhaps all bibles will be destroyed.  I want to have as many verses and scriptures stored safely in my heart where no one ...

Seasons Change

It's been 10 months since my last entry and I have to wonder why...why has it been so long?  Maybe it's because life just gets so busy that I really can't find the time to sit down and type for pure release.  Yes, my regular job is a typing job, one that I've been doing for 20 years come this May (except I took a year off to sew my oats and work at Mother's Day Out and help my awesome husband with his home inspection business), but all in all, I've been typing over half my life now!  It's a job, so there are days when I literally hate to sit down at this computer and put my Beats on.  And, depending on what doctor comes up first thing in my morning, I'm either ready to snap someone's neck or I can actually squeeze out a little smile on my face because it's not a fast talker, foreign talker, food eater while he/she dictates, one who won't correct their obvious mistakes while talking...I can go on and on here.  But, the point was to emphasize h...
