I apologize...but not really

Hey guys

I have been MIA for the last 3 days, so I guess I owe you 3 posts today.  It may be a little tigtt today but I will definitely get it done. My new philosophy in life is “If I can’t I must! If I can, I will! Failure is not an option!” I recently attended a class in which the instructor, Gregory Downing, gave us a list of what he called business plan agreements that included this agreement/affirmation. And even though getting 3 posts out today seems almost impossible, I most definitely will! That's why I don't really apologize; I'm making up for it today.

Another reason, I don't really apologize is because I've been spending some quality time with the hubster. This past weekend, we had the opportunity to lay the ground work for a potential stream of income. Though we have our individual business ventures, we believe in this business as it encompasses our family values and it is a business venture that we can build together. We're extremely excited about this.

Not only did we embark on a new business venture this weekend, but we also spent some quality time together. My husband works a lot so there are days when we may only spend a few waking minutes together. And believe me. I would miss 2 months of blog posts if I had to chose between spending time with him or blogging. Spending quality time with your spouse is really important in a marriage. Speaking on the phone is great but there is NOTHING like being in their presence.

As a matter of fact, close this blog window and go cuddle up with that special someone. You can read this blog another time...like tomorrow morning. Before you go, check out my handsome husband below. Comment below if you would like to book him for a shoot.

Until next time, I wish you peace, patience and prosperity.

Meet the Blogger

Hi guys

I'm originally for New Orleans.  I moved to Houston to pursue a masters degree and teacher certification at Rice University which enabled me to teach high school English for six years.  And boy did I hate it (minus meeting a few awesome students and nice coworkers).  If you read my previous post, then you know that I quit my teaching job and  focused more attention and time to educating on my then two-year-old and new business.  It was then that I caught the mompreneur bug.

I found a passion for business and working for myself and had NO desire to return to a 9 to 5.  Since then, I began an online t-shirt shop for my sorors of Iota Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. and have launched an Internet/social media marketing business.  And now, I'm trying my hand at blogging.  So you can say I know a little about business and working online.

Working from home, particularly solely online, has afforded me the opportunity to work from anywhere there is an Internet connection (i.e. grocery store, car, doctor's office).  I won't lie and tell you it's been a piece of cake because it is still a job and you have to be determined and disciplined to be successful.  But it is a job that allows me to sleep in, to work from my bed when it's cold out, to work at night while the kids are asleep or while I'm nursing my newborn (like now) and to not work at all if I don't want to.   And best of all, I don't have a crazy boss to answer to....unless you count my husband. Just kidding.

Enough about me.  Comment below and tell me a little about you. Are you a stay-at-home parent or spouse?  Are you open to working from home as well?  I'd love to know more about the people who actually give my little ole blog the time of day.
