What's It All About?


"The unexamined life is not worth living." Socrates

While you’re here, in this time and in this space, you are beautiful and you are perfect.

You are right where you need to be to get to where you want to go, so start asking yourself where you want to go.

"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase." MLK

What I should have said was...

Ridiculously over paid AND easy money???? Or why on earth would it pay so well? Is it that terrible of a job?

So my mind is a racing a million miles an hour thinking more about this job I'm gonna do for Troy.

So many questions! We're talking tomorrow or Friday and hopefully I'll get a clearer picture of how this will work and the expectations.

I'm even pondering asking if maybe I shouldn't work out of his home base until after I move (less to move!!!!) plus then he doesn't have to schlep supplies over to me...the downside to that is that I'd have to get dressed and leave my house for this and it was kind of a nice idea that I could do this at home, in my PJ's!

Meh. We'll just see what we see after we talk about this some more.

In the meantime, I'm gonna do me a little more research on Variable Annuities and mail merges! Woo hoo. There is some exciting reading! :P
