Day #14 - Never Stop Being Amazed

So I'm totally amazed at what a little blog can do for me, and for others. I really want to thank everyone who has taken a moment to comment, or shoot me an email. The words of encouragement have been wonderful.
To be honest, I started this blog just as an outlet. My mind tends to race in 15 different directions at once, if not more, and I thought getting some stuff out would help me. Turns out, I was right! HaHaHa! Shocker there, right?!? All kidding aside, it has helped me, but from the sounds of things, some of the stuff I say might be helping other people too... Not that I'm so enlightening... But I guess if I can just bring a smile to someones day, or a little giggle, or even some reflection, that's all super too!

Back to me - cuz that's what this is really about, right?!? (kidding again of course) But today - I totally stepped outta my little box, my little comfort zone, and signed up to be a Scentsy Consultant. I figured "Hey, why not!?!". Anyone who knows me could probably list a few dozen, if not hundred, reasons why not.

That list would start with, uh, Stephanie, You're totally NOT a salesperson! Well, this I know. But Scentsy kinda sells itself. And I enjoy it, so I figure other people might too? Second on the list, uh, Stephanie, Aren't you busy enough raising 3 children? And that answer would be HECK YES! But I'm thinking this won't take a whole lot of my time. I mean, I'll only get out of it what I put into it... So I can gear up or scale back anytime I need/want to. As I said, the list of reasons not to do it, far exceed, in number only, the reasons I decided to do it... But I'm in now and I'm excited! I'll keep everyone posted on my progress. As of now, I'm waiting for my "welcome packet" and then I'll get my first party scheduled!

Oh, and another thing... I've been venting lately to people about stupid Facebook and the idiots that post random dumbness just to stir controversy... Well, I deleted a few of those idiots today. I'm beginning to realize that some people aren't worth my time, or energy. I have enough on my plate with my family, my friends, and most importantly my God. I don't have time for nonsense anymore. I'm feeling so good about where things are headed in my life. I just don't need the negative distractions.

And on a totally different subject, because as I stated above, and if you follow my rantings at all, my mind is jumping onto something else already -- Keep praying for me folks! I have a few BIG things on my plate right now. I just need God's guidance and patience through some things. He will lead me in the right direction.

Day #13 - Let It Be Lucky

Well I put the girls in the tub hoping to have time to blog... But after checking my email, cooresponding with our insurance rep on the leak in our kitchen ceiling, and screwing around on stupid facebook, I'm totally out of time. The girls are already screaming they want out! Ugh!

Blessings...
