Time For Catch Up

Greetings,I am back and I feel that I have dropped behind in class. So!!!?? IT`S CATCH-UP TIME. I am sifting through my emails, over 5,000, isn`t that madness? Before I had my online separation there was a time I was bombarded with information; it was a dreadful time and I had to halt and calm myself. Now that I am back much more are waiting for me. Ah!!! but I was burnt once so I am much more wise now.
I am now making a list of whom I want to pay attention. I have come to realise that if I want to have a successful online business I must have a plan and be focused. So I have started to make notes on the road/course that I should take.There`s much vital information into which one can tap. There`s a wealth of information from Melissa Ann Mitchell`s blogs. I connected with her when I read her blog http://www.melissaannmitchell.com `The Difference Between Arriving Or Getting Lost`. I have also found knowledge at a site for women wewebwomen.com.
At present, I am multitasking and loving it.I am working 8am.-4pm.as a manager of a craft school; creating templates for an online business( this is taking longer than I had imagined); networking online; preparing land `that I have relatively  close to the seaside`in readiness of my relocation when I retire; I am also in the process of opening a horticulture plant shop by year`s end.
Life is so good, busy, loving, excited. I have so much help online that I know that I have to do some sharing on my own. So I am looking for all the ways I can return some goodness.
Goodbye for now and God Blessings.

Oh How Wonderful To Be Alive!!

Life can be so unpredictable. Regardless to how much planning you plan outside events can turn a plan A into a plan B in the blink of an eye.`A sailor does not know how great a sailor he is unless he travels on rough seas`. The important thing is to learn how to ride the waves an stay afloat. We don`t have to accept life`s knocks. We have to knock away the knocks or we will be courting Serious Hiccup In Time. `Always look for the gold in the ashes`.

I AM BACK. I am back a wiser and more aware individual. I am feeling good to be back. It is said `Man proposes and God disposes. I had a purpose. I dreamt a dream. I was to start an online business on 01st, August 2010.I was set in my ways, I was designing and creating templates. I had everything planned. I was scared; I was excited. Them BAM!!! my computer had a major break-down. Them double BAM??!! my sister who was ailing for some time became more ill. After spending eight days in the hospital she succumbed to her illness and departed this life. I knew she was ill but I always assume that she would conquer and become well again one day. 

Death had paid a visit and took away my sister; my little sister(age 50yrs.). She was my sister, my confidante, my friend, sometimes she was like my child. As sisters we had our ups and downs, we disagreed alot -two days maximum and then the best of friends again. It was quite a loss, I could not believe that such a thing had happened and all plans, her`s and mine`s seemed unimportant for they were pushed into a corner.

It is now a little over a month and I am now thawing out. I still have a little way to go to reach the pitch I had reached  but 

I AM BACK AND IT SURE FEELS GOOD.

The Awe Of Creating Jewelry: As My Tide Turns

The Awe Of Creating Jewelry: As My Tide Turns

As My Tide Turns

My tide is turning. This task that I have set myself had me in so many conflicting emotions that I had to say to myself   HALT . Stand still and look at the picture, look at the reality of this situation.
I was born in Trinidad,a very small island; you cannot even see it on some maps. We are not backward but we are not advanced as the `BIG` countries. US$1=TT$6+. The cost of living is extremely high,  but we are not a poor country. Here I am with an idea and no one in my `area of life` knows anything about online networking.  So I am alone on my journey. Where there`s a will there`s a way. I see a way and I have a will.
I was in a pitiful condition. I floundered and I stumbled  but I held my own hands and with a firm belief that God will cushion me, I keep moving forward. Let me state this: I am not religious, but I TOTALLY know (believe) God. Anyway, I am still erring but I am now C  A  L  M.
When I halted, I realised that I will ruin the outcome of my quest if I don`t silence the storm in me. Life was good after all. I may not have much fans or followers but I do have and I now have an obligation. I also have some favourable comments.Life is GOOD. I am appreciative. I am friend to Mr. Philip Mutrie on Facebook. I feel good and I have more strength to push on. I am now working with a picture of how I want this venture to BE.
A sailor does not know how good a sailor he is unless he travels on rough seas. Starting worth some points but finishing is where the magic lies. I want to feel that magic.
August 01 2010 is the day of my magic.
To all you who take time for me; I say `Thank You` from my heart.
Love.

Good Feelings

I am beginning to feel a bit more positive about my journey online. I am happy that the seed to go on this venture appeared in my head.I feel the beginning of confidence starting to tingle in me. My thoughts are beginning to open and become more relaxed. My creative juices are beginning to flow. I have seen some great work from my fellow crafters and I am encouraged to have a superb collection.
I have put aside my old templates and creating new ones. This is a delicate job and it takes a lot of concentration and steady, precise hands. The more I work is the more I admire the dedication of  all crafters. I just took the work more or less for granted but as I meet those wonderful crafters online, I started paying attention and admiring the work and paying attention to the beings who did the work. I feel humbled and good.
A crafter`s work is one of dedication, love and patience.I am proud to be a crafter. Saying that I have to live up and join the ranks. So I am working getting myself into readiness for the opening.
Life, with all its ups and down is good isn`t it?

Understanding The Online World.

I have to admit I love the `Computer Age`. Meeting people from different parts of the world and sharing views in the comfort of your home is humbling and yet awe-inspiring. Going through the different channels to enhance my planned online business is like being in school. I am now in kindergarden. I plan to be much more advanced soon.Understanding the different terminology is still confusing to me but I will get there. Where there`s a will there is a way. I will surely find my way.
Right now the days are short and the nights are much shorter. I seem to need more hours to my day. As August 01 approaches,  I pray that I am capable to make my dream a reality; that I can meet the challenge I set for myself.
