9/20/09 - I'm looking to make new friends here in the Fresno area.  I think that being around people who live the way I want to live will have a giantly positively positive influence on my.  

9/14/09 - Kanye West is just rude.  Biance, on the other hand, was very full of grace knowing that she can't win them all.  Good for you Biance.

9/10/09 - I have a 9 to 5 type of job now.  I'm basically going back to the beginning of my journey as a bookkeeper, back to Accounts Payable.  Not a bad job, not a bad company.  There are, however, a few super egos there.  Well, one super ego and one who is a power hungry drama queen, and one regular drama queen.  lol  How can you call a drama queen regular?  Silly me.  Week one was fine, week 2 and most of the time thereafter, I was calling my temp agency begging for them to put me somewhere else.  I still don't feel at home there, but it sort of helps that I've put up pictures of my family to remind me why I'm in this awful place.  The building is so old that on a daily basis, I see new dead cricketts and cockroaches everywhere.  People seem to be used to the bugs, and the smell of the bugs.  The entire building smells like bugs.  Now I agree that they have the right to exist just like any of the creatures on Earth, but man do they stick up a building.  I have put the most strongly scented industrial sized smelly thing in my office.  Now, while in my office I can't smell them.  I'm afraid of where the smell is really coming from....in the walls where the bodys must be piled up something awful.  I sure wish I was a better sales person and actually made money selling Mary Kay.

2/20/09 - We are still feeling the pinch of this so-called recession.  I don't remember hearing about anything this bad since the great depression.  I wonder if we are actually in a "depression" and nobody is willing to admit it, just to keep people from loosing their minds.  For that I would be truly greatful.  How did we get out of our "great depression?"  I think we went to war, I think that's what did it.  Not a favorable choice seeing as how we are already involved in one.  I'll tell you, I can't wait for the day when the world pulls together as "ONE".  I would like to see the beauty of South America without having to worry if the drug lords or the Mexican authorities will harm me.  I don't want to have to worry about being shot if I go visit the Holy Lands.  I don't want to have to worry about possibly being attacked if I want to go to Tibet.  Other people's hate and anger seem to have a big impact on what people do around here.  And yes, I do relalize that I live in Fresno California, one of the most violent places in North America per capita. 

2/6/09 - I am having a tough time with my Mary Kay busness.  Women I talk to seem very enthusiastic about it, but then they don't answer my calls and they don't return my calls.  Mary Kay is on the level of Clinique and Mac, but 1/2 the price.  Am I the only one who get's it?

2/1/09 - I just watched "Super-size me" and I am totally disgusted.  I'm seriously considering telling my husband that we should go vegan.  I'm very sad about the over-weight people in this country and the politicians that enable this to happen.  NO MORE FAST FOOD FOR ME!

1/20/09 - Yay for me!  I did it!  I sold 25 itmes in 7 days!

1/18/09 - We have this Feng Shui beveled mirror thing haging over our bedroom door, the money corner of our house.  Nothing good happened.  We painted the hall way, and had to remove the beveled mirror thing.  I told my husband to hang it over the front door so maybe money would come into the house properly.  He did.  Almost immediately, one of my books sold on Amazon, I made my first Mary Kay sale, another book sold on Amazon, my husband got three calls in a row for birthday parties, I got a 9-5 type of job, and another book sold on Amazon this morning. 

EVERYBODY! QUICK!
Go buy Feng Shui beveled mirror things and hang them over your front doors!

12/26/08 -Boy am I depressed.  I couldn't afford to give much to my kids for Christmas and my husband and I are so down right now.  We are both out of work and I've been looking for nearly two months since I was let go on November 11th.  The day before my youngest's birthday.  I'm afraid we're going to loose the house and whenever I mention my fears to my husband, he responds like a man.  Not good, not bad, just different.  Today he said something about putting as much as we could in the storage unit.  He said at least we will have a place to store our stuff when they kick us out of here.  I interviewed for a job that I was technically overqualified for.  I've never cried about a job before, but when I got the call saying that they went with someone else, I did.

9/30/08 - I have just become co-host of White Flame of Healing Meditation.  I'm excited.  Step one in world domination.  Well, you have to have a sence of humor about life.  Otherwise, what's the point?  Hopefully, I will influence people for the better, and they will influence me for the better.

9/28/08 - I'm off to a viewing  of one of my employers.  I have to say I'm a little conserned about what will happen when the rest of the family turns their focus to the business ventures owned by this man.  Will things stay the same?  Will my company fold?  All I do know is that what ever comes I will have to face it with strength.

9/26/08 - I have been bullied in a rather sneaky way at work.  I've been deliberately excluded from all forms of gathering while all of my other co-workers were invited in front of me.  I was really hurt by this, but, remembering a self protection spell, made my Friday much better.  MUCH BETTER!
