April showers brings spring flowers

Posted by Kendra on April 3rd, 2008 filed in My Time, Other Ramblings

It has been a while since I have written on my post.  There have been many things that I have been looking into in regards to writing and starting something new.  I have thought that I would take my blogging a little further by starting to work on build a niche sites commonly known as (BANS).  On April 1st, eBay started their own affiliate and stopped using commission junction. I just signed up this week and will be trying to create some income.  My goal is to create 30-40 by the end of the year (as I work a full time job).  My goal is to try to make at least $1000.00 a month by the end of the year.  I hope I will be able to do this as it will be a new beginning for me and will give me more confidence using the Internet. Also many other things have happened to my that are positive.

I have bought a treadmill and it works great! I have not looked at how much weight that I have lost but I have seen a significant difference in my posture and my clothes.  I still walk at work but not as often as it is getting hotter and in the summer months it will be unbearable to even move from your car to your house (in July usually gets around 110 degrees in the desert!) I also about a new laptop.  I will be able to work faster and quicker on my goal making my websites.  I also did some spring cleaning.  I took my terribly crowded walk in closet and made it into a library.  I got sick of all the clutter since we moved in July and just needed to take all of my husband’s  books.  I was very blessed to find bookshelves at Big-lots for $17.00 per shelf at the time ( bought 5).  I was so proud of myself that I had to take a pic of the closet when it was completed.

There have been other things mentally that I have been facing.  Don’t know why but talking to my mother seems that every 10 years (as I am in my 30’s now) that seems that I am at the point now to make a job change. When I say job change, I don’t mean really occupation, but that of independence and entrepreneurialship.  I believe my life is changing were I am ready to start figuring out how to make some extra money on the side an eventually work for myself.  My blog is going to still talk about my life and work but it will also incorporate a way that if others are also in the same position (whether it is working on the Internet or their dream job) will also be encouraged. I hope that I will have the ability to take my blog to encourage others to follow their dream.  Whether it is to make extra money to go to school to paying some extra bills. Just to do what you love to do….and get paid something for it.  Paid doesn’t just mean money, but knowing that you are spending time, even if it is for one hour a day, doing someting you love.  Then once you look back months and months later, you could say that you did something that made you happy.  This is what I am going to try to accomplish.

I know that it seems that I am rambling, but I hope and pray that I will be able to accomplish my goals this year (doing pretty well with my weight loss) and just take my life to the next level.

 I hope that I will be able to encourage others to find their life’s passion.
