what if.....

How cool would it be to be able to twitch your nose and make things appear or to make people do what you want them to do? That would be so cool. What would life be like and what would I want? That is how I approached looking at what I want out of my life.

First, People. I would seek out others who may possess my abilty and those who wish to have it. I would do this because no one wants to be alone. Every person desires to be around someone who shares like interests and goals.

Secondly, knowledge. What do I have to offer you and vice-versa? I want to be able to share what I know and allow others to learn from it and apply it to there situations. There is so much knowledge out there in the world. Knowledge needs to be sought. However to what advantage would it be to be if I, through magic, just had it. I do not think that it would create a sense of character or accomplishment. I have been finding that most of the intersting things happen from actually learning it yourself by way of others.

Lastly, Dreams and Hope. What I dream of having I could have, but most of the time like everything else in life, it comes with time. T.I.M.E = This I Must Earn. So it means to me that the dreams work better when you have some hope attached.

Though I still think I would be cool to have what ever I want by the twitch of the nose, I have discovered that magic can not create relationships with any real meaning. Magic can give you the sense of character or accomplish that comes from learning new things. Hope would be unnecessary because you could literally have whatever you want. What would there be to hope for. The sames hold true for dreams as well.

So with a resounding"NO" I decided that being human ain't all that bad.

a great day

I'm so glasd to be having these days off from work. It seems like I'm finally getting a breather from the everyday sometime mundane work day.
Today started out great. I was emailing my friend and sponsor in Canada and she was emailing me at the same time. I thought thie is really freaky so I called her and we spoke for about an hour and a half on the phone. Then my Crave energy drink order came in thie morning and got me all excited. I've been thinking about where do I start first in giving out samples and got even more excited at the possibilities. My every move in thes business , I'm determined to be extremely duplicatible in this business venture.

My grandbaby Jada's Christmas was today at my house and that had my household all excited. She was so cute today and it brought me great joy to see here enjoying her presents. I regret that I do not have a digital camera because we are missing so much. Not just for us but for her when she's older.

My friend Eddie finally made it back home and now I do not have to run into the city everyday to take care of his cats. It wasn't too bad but it got old quickly especially when my gas mileage is not nearly as good as when I had the Cavalier. Oh well, I don't regret it.

I wrote down some of my goals and plans for the new year and beyond and I think they are very obtainable. This will give me something to write about for the next few days or so.

It is late and I'm craving some crab legs. Do I dare do it? Or should I take my behind to bed.

That feeling

Sometimes that feeling of doubt overcomes me and leaves me in a place where I question everything and everythings intention in my life. I have needs,wants and goals just like everyone else, however I refuse to be dishonest in acheiving them. What a challenge, especially when we live in a dog eat dog society.

I have have begun to search within and look around for positive things in my life. I have some really beautiful folks surrounding me and that makes a world of difference.

I have to vow first to be more consistant in my blogging because this allows people who read my innermost feelings and thoughts to get to know me. I'm always up to something and I could begin a healing process in me and possibly to the same for others

I created "From The Start" because things are new right now and it feels like it is from the start for me.

I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

Immediately after I got off the phone with my friend Kelly of Working Art Media, this song came to my head. I ask for some knowledge on setting up some web hosting for my up and coming website and she was a gem at giving me a one on one consultation. She gave me just want I needed.

I now have to begin to imagine and construct a plan for my website. What do I want on it and what is Basically Bouie all about? I have an idea of what it is and just how helpful it could be to those who read it and use the valuable services and products.

I just signed up last nite on my new venture and I'm so excited. However, it feels right on how I found this opportunity. Joyce of Mentoring For Free is a new friend and sponsor of mine. She has been a real eye-opener in my life and I feel blessed to have her in it.

Helping others to let there light shine and allowing myself to do so as well is what it is all about.

Thanks Kelly and Joyce for being my friends.

Life is and can be grand!!!!!!!!

sleepless night

Lord, i'm so tired!!!

I'm definately not better yet. My whole household is sick right now because of me and my running around. I skipped chior last night to be home with them. Tonight I agreed to take a co-worker out to buy a dress for the Willow Christmas party. I may have to postpone it until Friday.

Well yesterday at Basically Bouie, I listened to a Les Brown tape in my car, twice. This man brings me to tears everytime I hear the tape. EVERYTIME! It is called It's Not Over Until I Win. It is truly powerful. He mentions No Guts, No Glory and it rings true in just about anything you do. I want to elaborate more on the tape and what it means to me in the next couple of blogs or so. I have got to find a way to meet this man because he is really a powerful motivator.

Secondly, at Basically Bouie, I have been reading an e-book (i love those darn e-books), a 153 page e-book titled MLM Big Money. WOW! Powerful stuff. I'm currently reading about objections and getting to the reasonings behind them. Many people are afraid to leap out and try something new because of some past failures,or what their friends and family may think, or even the time and money issue. However, there are ways to diffuse that and to get the prospect
to spend some time with you to honestly hear your opportunity. The author stresses Honesty in talking to prospects. No need to try and coax them in. A man convinced against his will, is of his own opinion still. That means do not coax someone who does not see it the way you do because you will always have to convince them to see the opportunity.

I think I will be talking more about the tape and e-book on my next blogs. I will also mention a person retiring that brings me to even more determination to keeping my vision and passions burning. More to come

Figuring out where to start

Something inside me says that I am meant to be more. Much more than Iam right now. My life this far in these 44 plus years has proven to be very interesting to say the least. However, when tackled with the why start my own business this one surreal fact comes to life. I'M MEANT TO BE MORE.

So now I have to begin and bring people with me. I believe success has to be shared and it will take time, patience and some knowledge.

Well I started by getting into a network marketing company that my cousin introduced me to and both she and I never really batted an eye as to what we were getting into. So part of my beginning will start with the ending of a relationship with a company that I question its integrity but still love its products.

I guess you could say I'm in a bit of a grieving process....and so it begins
