Getting My Hair Braided Tomorrow

It is finally time!  I wear my hair braided, therefore I get it done every four months.  I'm talking about my spirits being lifted! I'm off the charts, right now! It is so exciting.  Now tomorrow, I get my hair taken down or unbraided.  Then I wash my hair, condition it, and lightly oil my scalp. On Wednesday, I go into the shop and get my hair braided.  This time I am getting twists! I can't wait.  I am going to have lighter highlights around my face.

I love braids, it is so convenient for me.  You can stop worrying about having to "fix" your hair, about getting those costly relaxers, or being afraid to get in the water at the beach, or getting your hair wet, or pool chemicals.  Just have fun, wash your hair and dry it. Your done!

What about I take some pictures! We will do the process in pictures. Warning, warning, not for the squeamish, just kidding.

I am still working my online business, I think I'm about to close my first sale of my product.... I'll have to let you know how that goes. And I am doing surveys online.  Boy that is busy work but I want to keep busy!

I recently joined a site that keeps track of your caloric intake, exercise you do, your weight, motivates you and thanks you for being part of their community and above all absolutely free! Life is good, oh  I needed that.


Therefore, I can plug in what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the fact that I exercised, how long, get thanked and asked to come back.  It like my online caring significant other!

Of course I went to the gym today. I had a great workout.  I was even sweating! So that means I was working out.  I did cycling, the treadmill and biceps, with a few crunches and had 1 bottle of water.  Dinner was a 6 inch subway club sandwich w/1 bottle of water and a snack of 1 cup of cherries.

Well, I am turning in early have a big day ahead tomorrow.  A question for you though, how do you feel when it is time to get your hair done??

Olympics My Own

Oh three days in a row!  I have gone to the gym and exercised.  I am thrilled with myself! Okay, I'm still online doing surveys now between looking for online work. Thank God for surveys, I am now making some money online, little yes, but I will take it.

But the gym going, I am so happy.  This all started with my doctor telling me "we" must lose twenty pounds. I modified my eating habits, and food intake. I lost six pounds, now I am starting to go to the gym.  I have been a member of the gym for over a year; but always stopped going, for one reason or another.  I had a boyfriend to go with me, that did not last, him or going to the gym (we are though just friends now).  I started going with a girlfriend, she could not pay the fee.

Funny thing happened, the next time I went to the gym, I had to find it. I had forgotten where it was located!

Bottom line is I am going to have to go to the gym by and for myself.  I can no longer wait on anybody else. Now, these last three days have included pain, the first day was just general pain.  The second day, was an Ace bandage wrap my leg up day. Now today, no leg pain, just generalized pain.  I am feeling stronger, though, so that's a good sign.

Tomorrow going to gym late, because I am going to the show have a lite lunch, come back home and go to the gym.  Sunday,  I have to go online to a site I found to help me figure out which exercise machines accomplish what I need.  This should be fun.  Once I have that all together, next week I am going to the gym with a plan!


Thanks for hearing me out.  I have got to take this serious. I must go to the gym!


Do you have any suggestions??

Got My Motivation Back

What Motivates You!

I am resting well now which is a good thing at least.  But I have so much before me.  I have got to get a groove, find a niche, get paid.  It is going slowly, I am taking on each day, making sure to remain focused and to keep working towards my goal. My goal is experiencing and/or reaching financial freedom online!

I want this badly, but as of yet have not found the path, the gateway, the door. In the meantime, I work, seek, listen and talk to like-minded individuals. I am proceeding, making little steps, but isn't that how it all starts with anything worth having!

My motivation must stay up; I must continue to want to succeed. This part is easy for me on so many levels.

Just yesterday I was looking for a small box-like stool, the kind you can store stuff in and sit on.  I went to Ross Store as they have very nice home furnishing departments. Usually, they are small departments) but they have nice, sometimes one-of-a-kind items, and they're usually on sale.

I did not find a stool, but I did find a pair of shoes, as a matter of fact, Jessica Simpson's brand shoe.  These shoes were fabulous!  They were comfortable, stylish, wedge-heeled; they had everything. I really, really loved those shoes.  I did not buy them, though.  Those shoes are motivational!  I am going to strive to make money online for those shoes.

Hopefully, between my striving and the current number of those shoes available for purchase, I checked there were at least five pairs.  I will soon have that shoe on my foot!

What motivates you?  Are you a shoe lover?

I Believe in Me

The Waikiki Beach

Well it's finished. The work on the beach is all pau (done).  I for one am so glad.  That was the particular beach that I frequently visited. I love to have coffee and be near the ocean. Oh, I can think of nothing better, the ocean mist, coupled with the visual appeal, while sipping dark-roast Starbucks, life is good, life is good.

Yesterday I went to the beach in the late afternoon, I didn't actually intend or set-out to go to the beach, but once outside, when faced with directions, I don't know if it is the call of the ocean, or what but I was walking on the shore, in no time flat. I was carrying my shoes, wading in water mid-knee deep. The water surprisingly was warm.  The water felt so good, and soothing it was re-vitalizing, it was heart-good.  I was at peace, walking.

 I don't know about you but when I walk, I think, the walk is aimless, but the mind isn't. I thought about what direction am I going in my life.  I am no longer a part of the 9-5 working world, I have entered the online, work-at-home world. I have passed the cross-road, I am at Produce Road. Yet so far, I have produced nothing.  I have to make this work, I have to find a direction; but unlike the ocean, nothing is calling out to me.

Am I listening, I am, and I am looking for any sign of direction, this online, work-at-home world is the unkown territory for me.  I am exploring, looking, listening, but all seems silent, so silent, like a still body of water.

Well I am certainly not all pau (done)! I have just begun.  I am alive! I have the means to make this work and work it will. Somehow at some point. I don't know when, but I know why, because I believe in me!

She Didn't Tell Me How

I am working along trying to find my niche online. That is still coming along quite slowly.  In the meantime I stay focused on it, I do something, online everyday, better yet every hour in an attempt to brand myself online which will greatly assist me in finding this viable income that is going to lead me to financial freedom, which is what this blog is about!

Well along the way there are other things, I have to master too.  First on the list my weight.  My doctor informed me that "we" have to lose 20 pounds.  She smiled and looked at me with smiling eyes and face, and said okay?  I said, okay.  She said I will see you in three months for cholesterol test.

I left the office and went home. I thought about it, losing the weight. But she did not tell me how.  How to lose it, I had nothing to go on. Nothing to combat, disagree with, to add to or substitute. Oh, I thought about it awhile, for days in fact. 

Well with nothing to go on I started from the beginning, which was lose weight. I asked myself, how can I lose weight. I said I have to eat less to lose weight. To eat less, I have to not focus or focus less on food.  I started not focusing on dinner or what I was going to cook or have for dinner. I ate anything I had on hand, which normally is veggies, and patties, and I only ate enough to take away hunger. 

If I became hungry after "dinner" I drank water and chewed sugar free gum, until the hunger subsided.  I continued to do this for dinner, until I just no longer focused on dinner period.  Dinner was just to eat some mediocre thing, that's it.

I started doing it for lunch too.  I would have just something, steamed vegetables, 1 patty of some kind, or maybe a salad and plenty of water, a couple of crackers.  Just take that immediate hunger away. I found that I ate much less food.


I went back to the doctor, oh she was just smiling at me for a minute, she said, you're weight looks good!

So you know the mind is a very powerful thing, use it and listen to it, could just be you already know what to do about a situation if you are not told!

Two Months and Two Weeks

NeriumAD Age-Defying Skincare Treatment is now non-comedogenic, paraben-free, gluten-free, and
cruelty-free and ...

It's been two months in part-time and 2 weeks in full-time. Finding that source or stream of income online is not, regardless of what anyone says, "easy".  This is relentless work; I am missing sleep, food, and most importantly, a viable source of income.

I am not giving up; I am not going to quit. I know it can be done; I know I can figure out a way to make money online. It's just me. Funny, I don't have anyone depending on me now, so at least now I can do without some of the unimportant things, but still I've got to eat, live somewhere, and have to sleep on something.

I prepared myself for this; I am in it for the long haul. I have got to forge through this period. I will see some progress soon.

I fortify myself through you.  Yes, I talk it out.  I have in reserve ideas of businesses I can do, if my chosen ones don't work.  Still, I am not ready for that yet; no need yet to pull out the reserves, perhaps a pizza, though something I could hold in my hand and eat while still typing. And a drink, but no, I must be more frugal, especially being so late for that and for dietary reasons; a cup of yogurt will do, I'll grab that and a spoon.

It's been three days; I have literally been chained to this laptop. Morning to night, I take a walk outside or to the corner, and lunch break, not much else. I am putting in more hours here than any 9-5. So if time worked garners anything, I have that. 

Rumours Nightclub

Oh, well, tomorrow, Friday, will be much of the same; but thanks to my friend, Saturday, I am going out. It's somewhat of a celebration for another friend who is moving to Florida, a good-bye of sorts. We celebrated her birthday not long ago. I will miss her.

We are going to Rumours, a nice club. Plenty of dancing and drinks; you can even dance in a cage if you so desire!

So for now at least I am still getting my weekends off!
