Just got back from my first visit to Washington, D.C. yesterday. I attended the JV Alert seminar by Ken McArthur. It was great, I got to spend time with some very special people in my life there, Susan Preston, David Preston, Becki Andrus, Ron Davies, Michelle Alvarez and several new friends that I met as well.

Willie Crawford and Nancy Crawford unfortunately couldn’t make it, which was a bummer, as well as my good friends Micheal Savoie and Yvonne Lyon. But hopefully they will all make the next event!

Regardless, it was a great time, even though we didn’t get to make it to see the monuments or the white house. I did get some pretty good photos of the city however, so I still have something to remember it by!

I made several new contacts for business, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they pan out like I hope. Business has been going very well for me, enabling me to support myself and my boys entirely on my own income, which is pretty amazing. I am so grateful to be able to do that and to be able to do it doing something that I love to do, which is writing.

Hopefully my boys will see me creating success and learn that they too can create success for themselves with out tying themselves down to a thankless job somewhere working for some one else. That is my biggest hope with creating this business, that they will see that anything is possible, and that opportunity is limitless.

Till next time.

Well, I am back to work today.  I have been behind due to a variety of things going on, not the least of which was the amazing seminar I attended this weekend, the first annual E1kaD Summit for 2009.  My family also had tragedy strike, my baby brother’s dad was killed last week in a head on car collision.

It’s very sad, Henry Centeno was a scout for the Cleveland Indians, and still very young.  He also had two other kids he left behind, along with my brother.  My mom and brother and sister are taking it pretty hard, but I know they will get through it, and be ok.

The seminar I attending though, was phenomenal.  I am so excited at all the possibilities of 2009, I can’t hardly stand it.  My business has really been picking up anyway, and attending the seminar and meeting all of the great people I met will only help me continue to grow.

I feel like I made some real friends there, as well as some great business contacts, so what more could you ask for from a seminar?  Not to mention the wealth of knowledge I am still trying to absorb! lol  I have also committed to improving my fitness.  I started up a new site that I am working to get off the ground, www.liveordiefitness.com, and I am also going to the gym regularly with my GF Christine.  So far so good!

Just started my new term in school, so that has me a bit anxious, it’s only two classes but quite a load with both of them.  That with work is going to run me pretty ragged, but I want to hurry up and complete the degree, I am almost there!

My boys are beautiful, and growing up too quickly.  I just want to smoosh them back down to little!  Can’t I do that?   Anyway, that’s what’s going on at the moment, I will update as life unfolds!

So, I have been pretty busy these last few weeks, lol.  My business is picking up, thanks to fervent prayers to God, but now I am scrambling to keep up!  So I guess be careful what you pray for because you just might get it!

But it’s good, I am working my way towards becoming financially free (hopefully).  There is so much that I want to do, for myself and for my boys.  I know that money doesn’t by happiness, but it can sure pave the way to comfort!  I can find the happiness all on my own!

Unfortunately money has been so tight that I haven’t been able to continue my singing lessons, which is a big bummer for me, as I love them.  So hopefully 2009 is going to be a much better year financially, so that I can do the fun things I’d like to do (vocal class, mixed martial arts, piano, travel)  And so that I can let my boys do fun things like karate, and dance class, and maybe piano.  Some sports if they want to.

But especially I’d like to get them into something musical.  I always wished I had got to do that more when I was a kid, it’d make it much easier for me to pick up now!  And I know Aedyn would get a kick out of doing something like piano class or dance class.  He runs around singing and beat boxing all the time!  Too cute.

Brodi is going to be my little jock though, I can tell.  Either that or my game inventor! lol  They are both growing so quickly, and sooo smart.  Brodi is already almost to my shoulders, it’s unreal.  The other day, in the car, Aedyn and Brodi were having a sing your ABC’s competition on who could sing them faster.  I busted out laughing because after a few tries, Aedyn would sing A,B,… And skip to the end of the song and finish!  He then said he won because he ‘teleported’ his ABC’s! LOL

Out of the mouths of babies right?   I do occassionally want to pull my hair out because they bicker so much and are so competitive with each other.  But at the end of the day, you can tell they love each other and are great brothers.  I hope they stay this close all their lives, and always realize how important they are to each other.

And I have to say, they are some great kids.  I look around sometimes at other people and the struggles they have with their children, and feel extremely blessed.  Although my boys have their moments, and sometimes they drive me batty, at their core they are good and loving boys.  That makes me feel like I am doing something right somewhere!

Anyway, just wanted to take a few minutes to post as I haven’t in a while.  I am trying to make this a regular habit, so that one day my kids can look back on their old Mom’s life and remember me fondly! Till next time!!!!

Today is November 4, 2008.  It’s a Tuesday, and it’s Presidential election day.  Brodi is 9, Aedyn is 5, my grandma Bena Mom died last month on Aedyn’s birthday.  It’s fitting that my very first post to this blog also will mark a day in history.  I have very little doubt that Barack Obama will beat John McCain in this Presidential election, and that we will soon see our first black President of the United States.

I also have fears that ignorance still runs rampant in this country, and that there may well be bad things to come.  I pray there isn’t, as I am praying that Barack Obama will bring about the change our country needs in order to remain a strong power in the world.  He has a good message, and if he is elected, I just hope he stands by his word and that the rumors of terrorism affiliation don’t prove true.

I don’t believe John McCain is the answer, so maybe Barack Obama will be.  I guess we will soon see.  The election isn’t over yet, so the tides could very well tip into McCains favor.  Meanwhile, I am off to algebra class, to further my education and see where it takes me!   Change is coming, regardless of what I do or think, so the best thing I can do is move forward, and pray that God guides our country in the right direction.  I have faith that he will!
