Military Wives Need a Home-Based Business

Hi everyone! There was a caller today on the Dr. Laura radio program that reminded me of myself years ago! As many of you know, I was “married” to the military for 15 years.  The caller was about to marry a serviceman but didn’t know how she would survive all the separations and deployments. They didn’t have any children yet and that made it even harder to connect with the other wives who had families. I can relate, and wish someone had given me the following advice far earlier in my “career” of being a Navy Wife. This is a letter I just emailed to Dr. Laura.

Naysayers

One of my Story Time Felts consultants sent me the following quote last night. You may have noticed the rotating quotes I have on the bottom left here, but I wanted to make sure you saw this one!

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.

Things I Learned While I Had the Flu

  1. My husband Greg is reliable and diligent during a crisis.
  2. The world will not stop turning if I stay in bed half the day. Or more.
  3. My 4 year old is a great napper when he has company.
  4. Things marked “urgent” really aren’t so much. Continue reading ‘Things I Learned While I Had the Flu’

Simone Salon in Sebastopol

I met Wendy Simone at an EWomen Network meeting and told her I was ready for a new look. I was going to put it off till I lost a little weight and was ready for a total makeover but when she called to follow up, I decided to just go for it! I am so glad I did. Wendy is a professional hairdresser who has a remarkable skills and intuition! Go to her website and look at other before and after pictures - http://www.simonesalon.com She is just incredible. I didn’t really know what I wanted but I love what she came up with! It is easy to care for - looks great “done” as well as right out of the shower, and looks great all day long! If you are in the SF Bay Area or Sonoma County I highly recommend this salon. It is tucked away in Sebastopol, she will send you directions when you set your appointment. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of my new look!

Welcome to Holland

Hi everyone! One of our Story Time Felts consultants, Susie from New York, sent this to our consultant discussion group and although I had read it before, it had been years. It was great to read it again and notice how it doesn’t only apply to changing your perspective with regard to the dreams you may have for your kids, but to anything where you need to have an “attitude adjustment” when life just doesn’t go your way. Read this and you’ll see what I mean:

Childhood Cancer

Hi everyone… We are all getting ready for Christmas and life is grand so I apologize in advance if this is a downer but to me it isn’t. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my blessings and naturally among them are my 3 kids. Three children who were born without serious complications and (knock wood) perfectly healthy. They rarely get sick and have never had more than a cold or flu. I’ve learned over the years that just being born is a true miracle in itself, but being born healthy is even moreso.

Appreciation

The last week has been an incredible time of my life that I will never forget.

Due to my expressing my appreciation for a positive ripple that she started, national radio talk show host, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, endorsed me and Story Time Felts live on her show. I have done more business in the last week than I usually do in a month, thanks to her! Someone pinch me! Continue reading ‘Appreciation’
