Yes, the "next corner on the road to the future" is rapidly changing how "we" think - are you able to change with it?

Our Virtual Assistant

*Repost*� This lady has been working with us since just before June and she has been totally awesome.... thought I would repost to give her the due Kudo's she deserves!

Although I do not personally endorse businesses nor do I advertise on other's behalf, I have to say that I am making an exception for one lady.

After posting an ad on Craigslist for help with a company that I work with, we were in need of someone to help us in an administrative sense.� Data Entry, Incoming Phones, etc...� Well, we were worried about not having the finances to hire someone to come into the office, thinking that was our only solution.... We were wrong!

After receiving an email in reference to the ad, she introduced herself as a Virtual Assistant and quite capable of handling the tasks needed, but from her home.� Although we needed someone to also help us with the phones, she provided an alternate solution versus having to have someone actually in the office.

So after much discussion and comparison in the amount of money we would actually be saving if this situation worked out, we gave her a chance.... It has now been a total of 2 weeks and things couldn't be going any smoother!

For the data entry part, well, we had hired someone on a temporary basis before putting the ad with the expectation that she would work for us right up to her ending date, that didn't happen, she just stopped coming in and our stuff was backing up big time despite our own attempts to keep it up to date... yeah, that didn't happen.� So when our VA started, despite that we had a lot of backed up work to get caught up on, she didn't charge us anything more, in fact she agreed to work a full weekend so that we could start out fresh that coming Monday.

We sent her a packet of pdf's with client information that needed to be entered into our database, mind you this was what she referred to as 'doc to data', there were over 500 individual pdf forms with client information...� We expected her to take all weekend, not!� By 3:00 pm on Saturday, after working on them a total of approximately 4.5 hours, she was done.� After sending her the residuals of what had come in on our side, we sent to her email in the same pdf format, approximately 75 additional, within 35 minutes she was done!

So I am personally endorsing this lady, awesome awesome awesome!� Not only does she specialize in Office Support and administration for bands and bars (marketing, websites, etc...), but she has over 20 years experience with the servicing side of the Mortgage Industry (our reason for hiring her).

If you would like more info, you can send her an email at virtualhelp4u@live.com, let her know that I sent you.� By the way, I do have permission to disclose her email address.� She does have a business website but would prefer email contact to start with.

Date #2 w/Shawn

After more than agreeing to a 2nd date with Shawn, we will be seeing each other tomorrow evening, however our date isn't until Tuesday. It just so happens that I have a meeting in Phoenix tomorrow at 3pm and it made sense to stay with him the evening instead of driving the 2 hours back only to turn around and drive 2 hours back... Our plans for tomorrow evening include absolutely nothing with the exception of jumping in the pool and whoever gets to the house first gets to make dinner. So pretty much just an evening of relaxing and spending more time getting to know each other.... Oh and on a "well what do you know about that?" note, Colin, the AZ Drummer, it turns out that his house is less than a mile from Shawns! Talk about a small world. Just for the hell of it yesterday, I google mapped both locations, talk about the surprise I had....

Standing in the closet of our income based apartment, face cupped in my hands, tears running down my cheaks, fear flooding my body. Adorned for a wedding in a borrowed dress, $5 shoes, free necklace and earings, Walmart bra, Dollar General underwear, and a tank underneith I've had since high school, about to regift a wedding gift. Me and my seven month pregnant belly, wrapped up in the arms of the man I married, a faithful man, graciously given me by the God we serve, as he tries to console me while I weep because I wonder how God will miraculously meet our needs. Everything around me and on me claims He provides�but, through my own human point of view, also lays claim to my attempt to not spend extravagantly, but to live simply and give generously. I have followed Him in obedience away from the provisions of the world and here I stand, trying to find the hidden provisions of God in my empty, dark cupped hands, trying to understand how this has all resulted.

The only words from my mouth, "I didn't know it was this bad." I didn't know due to wishful thinking, denial, and plain avoidance of the subject. I didn't know that the job my husband was offered would only result in a $100 a month difference in our income when we subracted mine. I didn't know, that when I turned down a promotion my whole world would blow up right in front of my face and my faith would be tested like never before. I didn't know that the testing would last this long, and I didn't know that I would doubt to such a great degree. I constantly ask myself, "Did I make the wrong decision?" Even though so many say no, I wonder, "How could this be right?" Even though it doesn't make sense to me, it must make sense to God, because all along, He did know and He does know.

I not only turned down a promotion, I announced my future resignation and plan that I was going to be a stay-at-home mom. Those decisions made because we didn't crunch the numbers and were wishfully, hopefully thinking that we would make enough money to live our ideal dream. That thinking possible due to denial of the true hard facts that, we can't afford for me to stay home, but we can't afford day-care if I stay at work. We can't afford a home that costs more than we are paying now, and we can't afford the gas that it is costing to commute. �We can't afford to fix the car that is broke down, but we can't afford to buy a new one and we can't afford the impending costs our other car is threatening to throw at us. We can't afford these things, but I am to believe, God can.

God can. This is the claim of the faithful man I married. "God will take care of us. He has never let us down and He never will." Though my mind struggles to agree, my heart knows he is right because there is still hope, as very small glimpses of light reveal themselves. A car offered to us at a very small cost, houses coming available at half the size and half the cost of what we thought we had to have. Baby showers being thrown for us to provide what's necessary for us to provide for this baby. All we can do is continue to live faithfully, obediently, and simply. Not idealistically, not extravagantly, not excessively, but perfectly. Perfectly given what is necessary, graciously. I must keep repeating, God will take care of us. We can do this, one day at a time, one step of faith at a time, in one constant state of prayer.

God is good, nothing is too much for Him. Join me in prayer as I struggle to walk by faith, not by sight.�

Good Thinking!

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/23/us/philadelphias-msgr-william-j-lynn-is-convicted-of-allowing-abuse.html?_r=1&nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20120623

It is just the way that our "futures" can be built - GOOD or BAD "thinking", this was a "good" one!

The trial sent a sobering message to church officials and others overseeing children around the country.

"I think that bishops and chancery officials understand that they will no longer get a pass on these types of crimes,�€ said Nicholas P. Cafardi, a professor of law at Duquesne University, a canon lawyer and frequent church adviser. �€œPriests who sexually abuse youngsters and the chancery officials who enabled it can expect criminal prosecution".

my mind is going half crazy

Not sure where to start, John and I have spent quality time together. Thought things were going well in a good direction and then wham. We recently went to a hotel to get away, it was wonderful, he fucked the shit out of me. wonderful and bout freakin time, needed something different from the monotonous routine. I actually opened up not only sexually but on an emotional level. The day before father's day he came over drunk but I didnt trip. He snored most of the night so I got up and went to my favorite place the couch of course. Was a bit restless so I made him breakfast in bed he didnt eat much, however I think he appreciated the guesture. last time I saw him it was hard for me to see him leaving as always. he hugged me and said he wanted to work things out. Great one would think, we left the house and bumped into his sister who tried to fight me over some dumb shit. I have never liked his people's, simply tolerated them. Her interference has me questioning whether I want to remained connected to him.� God knows I love my husband, but all the crap and outside opinions are wearing me down. I cry when were together, I cry when were apart. I hate him and love him in the same breath. I recall how close we use to be, shit is so strained right now. Not sure what to do @ this point, I look @ other couples and think damn that should be us. I yearn for the times of old, when he would comfort me, hold me, assure all is well. Now I rarely see him or speak to him. What am I suppose to do, what Iam holding onto, after all he hasnt made any promises.�� Iam tempted often to pursue other relationships, that wouldnt be cheating would it. After all were not together, I say this but know I couldnt go through with it. Tony someone from my past tried to rekindle what we had but I couldnt do it. He claims hes changed doubt it. The sex between us was always� passionate/intense. NO complaints in that area, its just that he isnt my husband! Dont want to be with him thinking about john....that would be messed up. I have needs that are beyond of the scope of sex or fucking, so I cant be with tony. As far as me being with someone else I am not ready emotionally. I would like to be able to but am scared of letting go of the one person who claims to love� me no matter what. I am all fucked up in the head. I need answers like yesterday!� Most nights I toss and turn conjuring up thoughts of us in a happier state, or simply wishing I knew� how to articulate my most hidden thought/desires to him. Perhaps one day, but for now I will continue to struggle through this.

Shrinking!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/congress-should-review-policies-toward-war-crimes-court/2012/06/21/gJQAN9RgtV_story.html?wpisrc=nl_opinions

It"s Time: "...The United States is not a party to the Rome treaty and will not join anytime soon..."! Our little Earth Planet has shrunk to the point that there is not a place for anything except GLOBAL, THOUGHTFUL, THINKING - so "WE" can continue to EXIST, INSTEAD OF NOT EXISTING FOR HUMANS!
