I am getting closer and closer to finding an answer to my question
How I can work at home and say,
âgoodbye to my day to day job,â
But first coffee.
Bye IV Now, LD*
Coffee First
Tag: Short & Sweet..
Just Words
When words become more than just words they become action, and a start to something new. The sun isn’t up, no smell of strong coffee in the air but there is energy ready to start a new day.
I worked in retail for years. I enjoyed organizing tables, shelves, and walls. Turning something ordinary into something cute. I am no longer able to create in an actual store. When I walk into a store for a fresh start, the hiring manager sees a woman walking with a cane, and even though they talk with a smile. I already knew I wasn’t going to get the job.
I am on Pinterest just for fun, but what if it becomes more than just fun? I started taking notes, and I believe I am getting closer to understanding affiliate marketing. I am getting closer to creating again and a Smile.

I Know Who I Am…
People are so righteous with their judgements and cruel words dressed up in politeness. I wonder if saying these hurtful words make them feel good. I went back to staying alone in a crowd and I thought I had done a good job. I am still friendly, because I am not going to change who I am and will always say kind words before moving on. Then someone said, âyou look colorful today,â as I walked by. I half turned and said, âthank you.â I found myself frowning as I walked farther back into the church. I had on a burgundy skirt with mustard yellow, dark blue colored dots, over burgundy legging, and a mustard colored blouse. My coat was red, because it’s the only dressy coat I have. I admit the red may not have matched, but I was warm and to me thatâs all that mattered.
Matthew 7:2 NIV [2] For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.7.2.NIV
I found my seat and opened my Holy Bible app. I was slowly calming down, then out of nowhere a question came to mind. Has anyone gotten a gift and you say, âthank youâ but you don’t call or text to keep repeating those words. Does that make you ungrateful?
Then that person who gave you the gift calls and berates you for over ten minutes telling you how you have no self-esteem, because you are overweight and you should be looking for a better job. Telling you the amount of the gift, going out of their way to get the perfect gift, andâŚ
In a calm voice, I cut them off by saying, âI know who I am, and I am beautiful no matter my dress size. I know I am loved and no man, woman, or child has the right to judge me. I’m glad you learned from our late pastor and you can quote the Bible, butâŚ..
I stopped talking and let my words sink in. I wasn’t surprised when that phone call ended. I don’t know if she actually understood my words, but I’m good.
1 Peter 3:3-4 NIV [3] Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. [4] Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in Godâs sight. https://bible.com/bible/111/1pe.3.3-4.NIV

My One Day…
Someone asked, âHow do you like working at your jobâ? My eyes opened wider, and a fake smile crossed my face. I thought I was going to give a generic answer, because I knew they didnât really want the truth. I wasnât going to lie and give an answer they wanted to hear.
- A job is a place where you go to give your service, share your dreams, or just follow orders and you get paid for your time.
- A career is a place you go to after some training and you enter that world to be paid for what you learned.
What came to mind was a question of my own. What is a job? A job is where you work and be able to pay your bills:
- Rent/mortgageÂ
- Utilities ~ lights, gas, water etc
- Phone
- Internet/Wi-Fi/Cable
- Insurance ~ health,life,car, home
- Daycare (no longer me đ đ˘)
Non~Bills:
- Food
- House Hold items – laundry, bath, and dish soap.Â
- Cleaning supplies – kitchen, bathroom, floors, garden, front & backyard etcÂ
- Pets
- HobbyÂ
- Vacation TripsÂ
I would love to say my job pays for all of this, but that would be a lie. I cannot, so going back to the original question. My answer is, âNo, I do not like my job.â
Then I asked myself a question. If the place where I am working isn’t allowing me to survive, why am I still working there?

I am back on the job hunt, but secretly I do not want to be. I am so done with working for another heartless company.
I may have too until I am able to set my dream free. I believe in miracles and hard work and One DayâŚ..
Mark 11:22-25 NIV
[22] âHave faith in God,â Jesus answered. [23] âTruly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, âGo, throw yourself into the sea,â and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. [24] Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. [25] And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.â

Gotta Frog Again….
I can’t believe I am frogging another blanket (oh, frogging is taking the yarn out of a blanket that’s already made). I went to Michael’s to get some more red yarn, but they didn’t have the color I needed. A.K.A the reason why I am frogging another project.
I may not be able to get this blanket bigger before Christmas, but it will be a throw big enough for someone who stands over 6ft tall. I can always add onto it if I can’t give this gift in a different size, but only time will tell.
