What I Have I Been Doing!

June 6, 2010
Yes, I preach to everyone about the importance of staying current on FB, blogs, Twitter,  I have often said-it doesn't have to be anything long-just do it.  Okay, where's my cheerleader-pushing me to stay up on all of those items.  Obviously, I need one. You THINK?

I definitely have gotten off track with my monthly posts and am extremely jealous of my dear friends: Natasha of Natasha King Photography who has a blog going of 365 days of photography.  Her blog simple & to the point & always funny.( I find myself hoping that when my mail opens I have a new item in her RSS feed to make me laugh.)  Cathy Benton, motivational speaker, business counselor & successful solopreneur, is always impressing me with her abilities to juggle two successful businesses and maintain daily snips on FB and I think she is posting like on 2 or 3 boards.  WOW she rocks!  Miss Big Bob Herself-she juggles 5 HOME schooled CHILDREN, stays extremely active in the community, sells & promotes her business while being one incredible supportive and loving wife. These women defintely ROCK hard!
So, I decided it was time to do something for me.  Like seriously!  While looking at HARO and BloggerLinkUP for clients, I saw a call for At Home Working Moms and said that's me!  Right? My CFO is a 4 almost 5 year old.  I juggle a house, a business, a family and recently decided that I needed to extended myself further and start another business.  (More to come on that!) So, why wouldn't I fit that call for At Home Working Moms.  Well, I responded and was shortly contacted by BizMommy.com, owner Tish Berg-a Home-Based Business Mentor.  Tish sent me some interview questions. I returned them of course  after midnight when the house was quiet..This next morning, I received a dose of motivation.  Tish had responded back to say thanks and with these simple words: "I just love your energy and positive spirit…it practically jumps out at me right off the computer screen! J. "  She informed me that she featuring me as the Biz MOMMY of the WEEK!
What a booster that was for me! It was later  followed by the nicest compliment from Big Bob Herself who proclaimed in front of a group of retailers that I so ROCK!  God does send you bits of encouragement along your journey of life to keep you pushing forward!

So, point of all this rambling..LOL..Do YOU!  Make sure that every day is about living life to the fullest and doing you.  Treat people right, don't get too stressed when things don't go as planned, take one thing at a time, and do all that you can.  If someone gets upset and you know you are doing all that you can, well you have heard it before-they will get over it!  Just make sure you are always being the best you.  And, when you start to feel like the picture attached that Rick @ Beach Treats sent me.  It's okay...Have fun with it.  I know I have those days!


 

WOW That Rocks

February 11, 2010
Ok. So I finally came around to setting up my own fan page.  I think that makes number 21 that I have set up and this is the FIRST one that was for me–WOW THAT ROCKS

After much thought and trying to figure out the time factor, I just did it.  Along with it also came the start of a newsletter!   WOW, right!  WOW for anyone that knows me.  I barely have time to manage my own personal stuff because I am always busy doing something for one of my clients.  No complaints!  I love it that way. It j...

Work From Home Downfalls? NOT

November 11, 2009
My three year anniversary is approaching me in February and I am so excited about where I work and what I do.  I left behind water cooler gossip, Monday morning meetings, unnecessary reports, office politics, pantyhose, and early mornings for working at home.  Yes, working at home is all that I dreamed it would be and then some.  Those that know me, know I don't work within the four walls. I am an out of the box thinker and always up for new challenges and new ideas.  I thrive on change.  I l...

Hats Off To The Party People

October 5, 2009
What has happened to all the good at home parties? Wait nothing has happened, I just am out of the loop.  However, this weekend I got to experience the fun of at-home parties. You know what I am talking about.  The Make-Up presentations like Mary Kay and Arbonne, the Purses, the Wall Graphics and the list I am sure goes on.  Well, I definitely am missing the boat!
 
This weekend, thanks to Mom, I got to re-live the at-home girl party.  First, a party isn't a party without a great spread of food...

Work at Home and Make Money

September 28, 2009
I have spent countless hours in someone else's office pulling my hair, getting side tracked with office gossip, leaving on Friday's with a twenty pound bag of work and working  diligently for a week to just have a 4-day weekend. Some of you can relate-the work came home every night and it went on vacation with me.  It was a rare occasion when the work stayed behind because when it did, it meant paying for it with work that seemed to find its way into my in basket.  I soon discovered this was ...

Rules are Made to Be Broken

September 21, 2009
Ok, I did it.  I broke my first rule.  Can you believe it?  Those of you that know me well, know that this was bound to happen as I live without many boundaries, I like to be outside of that traditional box.

So, what rule did Shari break this time?  I went into my business saying that I would never post rate cards or prices on my website.  I have this belief that everyone needs TLC.  So, I try hard to always accomodate clients both big and small.  My husband reminds me always that so often my ...

I Became an Expert

September 15, 2009

FINALLY!  After a couple of months of research, planning and hard work, my first book project is finally complete and printed.  Yes, I became an expert and I have my client to thank for it.  Lori Hobson, author of Momma Sayings, called me one beautiful spring afternoon and asked if I could help her with layout and redesign of her next edition of this amazingly popular book.  Of course, I said YES!  For two reasons, one Lori and I had met a year earlier at a local author meeting where I was sp...

HELP! I am ADDICTED TO WEBINARS

August 11, 2009

Okay, it's one thing when you get sucked into reality TV but I am getting sucked into webinars, teleseminars, phone conferences, self help videoes...I have signed up for them with Hubspot, Ellen Britt, The Barefoot Executive, The Braveheart Women, and Keith Ferrazzi to name just a few.  I am really uncertain when it first started or with who.  I just know it has started and there is no end in sight.  And, to be honest-I am okay with it.  However, I have started planning better about the semin...

Unruly, Frizzy, Curly Hair Met Loop Rod Rollers

July 28, 2009
Yes, I did it..I tried something new.  For those that don't know me, I am known for a ShariTail.  Customary ponytail.  Those that know me may not understand exactly why I sport a ponytail most of the time.  Well, my thick, frizzy curly hair is unruly to say the least.  Heat or humidity makes it grow like a Chia Pet. Water makes it curl up.  Nice curls but carrying around a water bottle throughout the day to keep my hair wet-hard option when you work on a computer daily! Short Cuts..Um NOT GOO...

iPhone got WET and now it works

July 21, 2009
My iPhone works.  For those that know me, they know that I am much like a little kid with my phone.  It is not just a mode of communication for me.  I read on it, learn on it, share on it...My iPhone carries so much around in its little frame.  My Bible, my family photos,  and my favorite game, Scrabble to name just a few.

Ok, here's how my sound and iPhone came back to life.  First, I forget to thank iFrogz. This is where I purchased my hard case and invisible shield.  Without either, I don't...
