Help a Hero!

Hey Guys!

Today I have a wonderful person to introduce you to. Her name is Dama Parker. She has committed to be one of St Jude's heroes. She is a Charity Athlete who, along with many many others, will be running in this years St Jude Memphis Marathon on December 7th 2013.

St Jude, as most of us know, is a research center whose mission is to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St Jude has treated children form all fifty states and from all over the world. Another awesome fact is that no family pays for anything.

It takes a lot of money to fund this amazing place and that money comes from people like you and me and fundraising events such as the one Dama is running in. I personally donate to St Jude every chance I get even if it is only a dollar.

Please visit this link for more information on how to help Dama meet her goal as well as becoming a Hero for St Jude yourself!

Shhh. I'm Hunting for jobs...

Hello my friends!

I am finally making a post after all this time.. Let me tell you what all has been going on..

To make a long story short, I have been job hunting. UGH! The most un-favorite thing ever! The company I work for has been dragging their feet about getting a sales manager and sales staff for my office. This has been a continuous problem for years in my office. The district sales manager has always disliked having and coming to this office.

It is only two and a half hours from the district office, but they act like they have to go across country. SO, needless to say no manager or staff gets proper help from the DSM. Thus, all of them have failed.

Now I am salaried clerical staff so I am always the only constant here. Consequently, I am the only one here at the moment. They cut my hours to part time and I haven't seen any proof that they are looking for a new staff or manager for me. I learned from the landlord that they just renewed the lease for 5 years so, I doubt they close the office.

I feel quite useless and bored with nothing to do so I have been looking for another job in the mean time. This has been proving difficult since right now the economy is still crapped out no one wants to pay what I am making. Sigh...

I have been making a video diary to try to help me sort things out but right now it is kind of lame. I just talk to the camera, not much interaction going on. Not many subscribers at the moment. But I keep trying.

I would love more than anything to just work online selling my and my daughter's hand made creations,  writing and making videos for a living. Until that starts to kick in however, I still need to pay my bills.

SO, What do I want to do to fund my daily life while still leaving me time to create this awesome life I want and make time for my family and friends? Hell if I know. I am trying tho. I keep looking and I have been putting out apps left and right. I did file for partial unemployment for the drop in hours. (Yes you can do that)  And I did contemplate getting my own business going. I think that would be great still however, the path it is trying to take is not the path I want. An office slave is still an office slave regardless.

I want to break out of the office. I am tired of sitting in a chair for six to eight hours a day. It is making me lame, tired and fat. I want a job where I can move around, be creative and helpful and possibly inspire people. I want my family to be proud of me. I want to be proud of me.

One thing I do know...Whatever is supposed to happen, will.

Till next time my friends!
be safe and MWAH!
