Will Keep on Trying..

Trying and trying again is getting old, but I am way too stubborn to give up. I kept on seeing things to do in Canva, so I thought I would try something new, and making “thank you cards” didn’t seem too hard.

I thought of 15 ways to say, “thank you,” but I wished I hadn’t wasted my time, because I couldn’t do the next part.

The steps were simple enough:

  1. Create a free account on canva, select a free design, and then add your message. Save your creation on pdf
  2. Create a free printify account and upload your design.

This didn’t work for me, no matter the times I tried, and I didn’t bother to create a free Etsy account. Okay, this didn’t work, but I am not going to stop until I find something that will work. 

I am BEYOND TIRED OF WORKING A FULL TIME JOB for a company that doesn’t know who I AM!!!!!

Not Stopping….

I wonder why people don’t believe in putting a leash on their dog. I decided to start my “new me” by walking in the morning before the sun makes it too hot to walk. It wasn’t an easy walk, because I am walking with a boot on my left leg. I was taking each step slow and steadily, as I listened to my music walking down the street, and then it came to a sudden stop when I heard the barkering.

Okay, my walk was cut short, but I did a chair aerobics routine and called it a day. I had planned on dancing before I called it a night, but tired eyes closed before I could set that planned into action.

That dog may have cut my walk short, I wasn’t going to let it cut my workout short, because I will be a better me. I also decided to write down my journey.

To the Beach I go…

I am finally going to the beach. True it isn’t an overnight stay or somewhere I dreamed of going, and I cannot actually walk on the beach. I have to wear a boot when I am out in about. Then again I am still walking with a cane, so walking on the beach isn’t going to be easy anyway. Not at all this time.

**side note: If you are over fifty and fall. Don’t act like you are still in your teens, get up, go back to work, and act like you are not in pain. Take it from me when I say, “take a few days off with your feet raised on a pillow and keep it iced”.

I was happy for the day trip to the beach. I admit I was almost thinking about calling it off, because I wouldn’t be able to move freely. 

Nope not letting that stop me. I am not sure what part of Myrtle Beach I will be going to or what to think. Is it just a beach with a lot of hotels or what?

I was told to bring a beach towel and a chair and I was thinking to myself, “You know I have never been to a beach before and you know I am out of work, so how would I have those things?” I then enform that I would be on my own as if I didn’t already know.  I also started thinking what can I bring for the ride there, and so my beach list begins:

  1. Yarn for a small crochet project. Well, I was thinking about bringing two. The blanket I am working on now, for the bus, and a smaller project for when I find somewhere to sit out on the beach boardwalk.
  2. I will have my pink headphones, and a portable charger.
  3. A notebook I got on amazon. (When I find it, I put it in a bag somewhere)
  1. I know I will eat a big breakfast, bring lots of snacks, and get dinner before getting back on the bus. Oh I will bring a few bottles of water .
  2. I will have a good time…

A True Smile

Time to get back to the world of words. I cannot believe I stopped doing one of the few things I enjoy doing. I was playing follow the leader and that leader wasn’t helping me get to the top, but barely keeping me above ground.

Every day was just like the last. You get up, get ready for work, come back tired, and you do it again. You tell yourself today will be different, you know what you have to do, but you are still playing that video over and over.

I am tired of watching that show. It’s time for something, “NEW”. I am thinking about one of my favorite movies, “Sister Act. I was thinking about the 2nd one, when Ms. Whoopi Goldberg was talking to the students, trying to encourage them to become a choir, well be more than what they thought they could be. 

It is NOT too late for me to get back on track. I will write/type (rather I am writing a short story or working on my book) every day, I will crochet every day (I am going to get a certificate to be able to teach what I love), and I am already creating notebooks every day on bookbolt.com

There is more to this, but I am working on that as well. I also learned I like making fruit trays, but that’s another story. It is time to get a cup of tea and get back to being a BETTER ME!  I will keep moving… I am also on the hunt for a new anime…

A New Skill

I am done with the same old same old. I know I am not alone. You go to work, do your very best, pay your bills, and maybe have enough to treat yourself once in a while.

I am done complaining and allowing others to add on to those same complaints. I work at a job I don’t care to work at, but we all do what we have to do. (until I can do better)

I enjoy the world of words. I may not be the best and I know I make mistakes, but I enjoy doing it anyway. I had stopped this enjoyment for way too long, allowing the world to step in where a  smile used to be, but it’s time for the real me to be set free.

I thought others would care to enjoy writing down their thoughts or just take some time to be creative. I  watched a youtube channel about creating notebooks. I admit I watched it for months before I decided to make them.

Journey With The Hintons {}

I learned how to make a notebook on bookbolt.com and add it on Amazon.com.  I wished I had only done one and once it was posted, look at it, and I would have my unasked question? 

I was thinking you could see the inside of the book, because not all composition books are just lines. I found a way around that problem.  In my description I not only let everyone know what my notebook is about, but what it looks like. (At least the ones after the first set)

It would have been nice if I was told about marketing. Okay, Google was my next step. I found one or two articles.  I liked this one the best:

{}How to get paid for links to Amazon: Step-by-step Guide – Wise  How to get paid for links to Amazon: Step-by-step GuideRemay Villaester (May) Remay Villaester (May)16.12.20 (updated more than 1 year ago){}

Okay, I took all my notes, but there has to be something faster. (always look for more answers to your questions. I got some of my answers from the above post) If you guessed I turned to YouTube, then you would be right, and I watched a few videos. I will not be able to add any videos. People talked about what they did, but now how they did it. They also bragged about going on vacation and living a better life and that wasn’t cool to me.

I was also thinking about Pinterest.

{}  How To Use Amazon Affiliate Links on Pinterest the Right Way [2024] (wptasty.com){}

I was thinking this was going to be easy, but I was wrong. I thought you could just click on a picture, add  a link to get the product, and that was it. I was wrong. 

 I also thought I could post the few books I have on Amazon and promote it in my blog (and then add that post on Pinterest). I was wrong once again.

I am saying my prayers as I do every day. The next step in my journey will be my Best Journey. 

I hadn’t planned on posting too many items other than my books, and the few items I have bought. So,  I guess all that reading and videos I watched was a waste of time.
