new job

it took a couple weeks of finally looking seriously to find work. i have a job currently earning quite a darn bit! :). i also still have my women painting chairs club on facebook as well as gypsyprincessart with what else? but painted chairs of course.

i made what i think to be a very fun page called 4thelove ofchairs on facebook as well.

in my time off from the real working world i decided to follow my dreams try new things and decided i am worth more than what i was earning at my old job. i was looking in the wrong places for work and decided to try a new way to search for work. think outside the box, don't settle for less, keep trying and you will succeed.

i decided to try industrial work. i drove an endloader and forklift this week. i work in a chemistry lab. not something i ever thought i would do! industrial setting with quality control is definitely interesting work.

full moon effects on sleep habits...

we all know about luna-tics. that is what they call people like me. i cannot sleep and am much more creative with my mind going a hundred miles a minute usually through the night many nights before and during a full moon...

why why why?

i do not understand it.

However, am very thankful for the time off work where i can sleep in the next day after such nights.

the nights i cannot sleep are actually great nights for writing songs, poetry, stories, and lobbying for political actions to improve our world.

how do you like that? the goldfish swimming to the right of the screen? haha i love them...
i have two goldfish at home that i bought from a walmart store last year with every intention of adding them to the small pond outside...i didnt have the heart to leave them out in the dark all alone...bonnie and clyde live indoors. with me. and the rest of the family.
they have yet to meet max emerson, the new cat who lives downstairs. lucky marley the dog has yet to meet bonnie and clyde or the cat....
not up for that much adventure in my house. just quite yet.

i come up with some great stuff during a full moon...

maybe i should be looking for a night job where i can stay up all night long...and fall asleep in the sunshine the next day....ahhh i love sleeping in the sunshine...or on rainy days...
of course on second thought imagine how many great ideas i may want to develop at night and am busy working..sometimes if i dont write them down write away i forget them..hmmm
maybe i am writing about sleep cause i actually need some now...

wow. talk about it and it happens. kinda like that book by rhonda byrnes The Secret-Imagine it. write it. believe it. see it happen.

or like the saying if you build it they will come....

that of the fact i am about to give up on my poor laptop and give it a rest for a night. it is burning hot on the bottomside.

why are so many of us wide awake on nights before or during a full moon?

i should google that...

you would think i would have the answer here since i am after all writing about it eh?

right. not so. if there is something i want to know i google it pinterest search it

or ask the facebook majority.

sometimes i just give a shout out to twitter.

notice how never once did i mention "look it up in the dictionary"?

yeah poor webster...he would be sad to know google and wiki pretty much have replaced the good ole dictionary...

yes my dears friends...there ya have it folks...this is just a small portion of what people do when there is a full moon and cannot sleep.....

there were many car crashes and pile ups on I-80 and I-74 and Hwy 61 tonight due to a light dusting of snow that turned to ice.

as i looked out my window i watched cars speed by in confusion and utter disgust that so many people did not even once consider the roads to be dangerous in the slightest bit enough to slow down.


the cars go go go in the snow...little do they know in the snow go slow...so they just keep on and  go go go til the snow says no that is not how it goes....oh no...and crashes happen.

what a suprise. were they really that shocked their car slid and crashed, smashed and bashed the fender bender caused by snow and ice...really cannot find an excuse to suffice,,,they stil wonder why why why and i still wonder in confusion and suprise...

jobless in davenport, iowa

The american idol idiot and american idol television show in general gave davenport, iowa a very bad name and image.

i am disappointed and will not be watching the show any longer. it may have been "funny" to some - but to destroy an entire cities image of being a family friendly and tourist area growing better each year is unacceptable.

Our art and crafts area of small business owners and galleries, shops, restaurants is growing tremendously spurring growth along our Mississippi river front and in the downtown Davenport, iowa area.

We still host the Bix Fest with the world famous race to run and win a new car and cash. People do come from all over the world to run the famous Brady Street hill and course.

I do create furniture art, photography prints and editing, as well as creating webpages for businesses and charities. All as volunteer time. Something is bound to turn up for a "real job" I have faith in God that work will be provided to me to do my part in the world and serve my purpose. Which way do I go about starting this task to find my spot in the world to earn an income?

WIth chronic pain and fibromyalgia after an excruciating painful back injury of soft tissue and muscles-which really cannot be tested by any sort of medical equipment for proof i was sent on my way and fired from my job. I took an year and a half treating with chiropractors and other specialists as well as physical therapy. nothing worked. after another 6 months of resting and healing on my own, i am now ready as i will ever be to get back to work.

After enduring the pain, the job loss, not yet realizing I have an opportunity to create my own future...I asked why?

 Then realized, I do have a chance to serve God's purpose in life and do some pretty amazing things to discover my own talents. God does provide and offers opportunities along our paths.

I have helped organize a neighborhood group. we are in the works for planning a community garden complete with benches a play area and fruit trees berry bushes and flowers and plants.

I began learning about politics pretty quickly and how things work and who is the key decision makers and am consistently working to help change laws. All signatures are greatly significant to any success of the continued rallying and gaining support for a good cause. like giving people who were adopted their own original identity and birth certificates.

Offering more choices for schooling in Iowa such as online learning opportunities never before offered here. Exciting!

and many other great causes like the fannie mae and freddie mac deal...i have one of those mortgages that went straight from countrywide straight down the drain into bank of screwmerica's hands. oops was that a mis-spelling? You would think so unless you were offered the same great customer service of harrassment, belittling and being hung up on when trying to pay your mortgage such as i constantly experience with them. ahhh so that explains my spelling "error"...any more questions? or have you too experienced the same thing?




I am an independent business owner with Amway. This company has grown beyond belief since i first was introduced to it 20 or so years ago. With a membership at a very low cost I have a website with really great products. vitamins and makeup are tested by highly professional and "green earth" scientists and Amway specialists to ensure we are getting the very very best of each product offered.

With a membership my commissions can only grow from here. It is a great investment for any family or even individuals who have drive to succeed and want to invest in there own future.

While my resume looks pretty disorganized, i am an artist. what can i say? i am having a very hard time looking for work when i do not remember the name of the now closed down semi truck small business that i hauled asphalt for one summer.

The college does not keep certificates after so many years where they can verify grades, temp agencies do not keep records after only a few years...how do i put all of that into a professional resume and what about dates? who is going to verify dates if they themselves at company level do not even have access to old records.

Again even without my roots to past job proof due to companies not keeping it on file for so many years back it is almost as if i never existed at each place of employment...much the same as those who are adopted and just do not know their roots...
ugh. i give up. i am typing out every job i have ever had. printing it. and handing it out. after all isnt that what a resume is supposed to be, a reflection of your experience and the value to a new company.

unfortunately that is not how companies want to see a resume. why? that is just plain dumb. and incorrectly companies are only requesting to see a portion of your talents.
they are in for a big surprise in many cases when they only get a portion of a person's abilities, for example, a woman goes to apply for a waitress job, who has served people.
do they also want to know she is a member of the traveling circus? no they dont. but they should want to know that too.

there are many sides to people in life. a resume should be an overall view of a person and their abilities and experiences.

Contrary to popular belief - ok not really - it just looked good at the time being philosophical and near the river-i did not learn everything i know on the river. but in a way many lessons are learned there....
hiring managers should be focused more on finding this type of resume being turned in than just a certain one focused area type resume many now look for.

maybe i am wrong but this is my thought and view of the entire situation.

You can be anything you want to be.

i kinda wished to be and actually am starting out as in a smaller version of it in my garage, gypsy princess boutique and art gallery. i have a small studio for paint and art work in the garage as well as furniture just waiting for warmer weather to be repainted and put up for sale.

i believe this would be a great opportunity as a business in the local area. i just can't see spending a fortune on rent for a building with no other investors or business partners.

my business plan is very sound with results driven goals.

nothing in life is ever guaranteed. However, when you have fun in life, enjoy what you do and believe in what you do, the money will come. the best part is others believe in what i do as well.

when others believe in your purpose and your plan - that is when you know you have something good to work towards. Like my photography, amway, trying for better rights for citizens and neighbors as well as my book Shine or Sink...over coming challenges in life with quotes and photography work from my collection. Do you plan to shine or sink in life when a challenge comes your way?....

i will keep on doing what i am doing and keep on smiling. God does provide. He offers security and confidence and strength through miracles faith and prayers.Always Believe.

book not yet published. First edition copies are in the works and final planning stages...

make all adoption records open

Come on people - have you not heard? this is a huge major issue right now. Please sign my petition. there is a big rally to open sealed birth certificates in chicago, illinois.

Many states are currently passing this so adoptees can receive a copy of their original birth certificate.

people who are not working and have had issues due to not knowing their history of their very own life.

why this information is being withheld as if imprisoning our citizens from their own identities seems a travesty to our own freedoms.

why should this be an option? many people years ago and even still today due to social situations and poverty are forced to give up their child.

many have searched in hopes sometimes daily to their graves and beyond to reunite their families.

many have searched as adoptees as well feeling lost in the world, abandoned, wondering why? and having so many questions unanswered.

in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave we have an entitled right to be free. This includes being able to trace our true family tree no matter the struggles or challenges with such truths.
this includes knowing our own identities no matter how painful the past may appear. God does heal with time. Love conquers all.

search for petitions and movements to join to help a huge portion of our own citizens gain their identities and sign them and join the cause.

OUr country is based on strong roots. Our people deserve to have their family roots as well.

we are all entertwined in this world as one people.

Our purpose in life is to seek God and share our own testimonies of faith miracles and hope.

if you were ever wondering what is my purpose in life? this is it.

To help others and to help God. Please share this post.

please sign the change.org petition to help all families who faced adoption and want to reunite with their loved ones or even find their family history.

it is a travesty to the american people who are treated as prisoners with their own personal information about their own lives being withheld from them.

 it is wrong. people should be able to choose who they know and if they wish to associate with others. this includes the right to know themselves. this affects everyone in some shape or form. believe it or not.
many politicians already approve of this! we need your support to help those who are lost in the world and desperately seeking their own identity and families.

after networking on many of the sites i have listed on where to network you i found a way to earn income on things i already purchase each month at home.

please email me. i am pretty excited about it. it wont pay all the bills but it is definitely a good start in the right direction!

email me at investinyoutoday@aol.com if you would like to learn more yourself!

no job doesnt mean i cant earn cash!

As you all may know I haven't worked a real job in over a year. Through networking, friends, creativity and new opportunities I have found a way to be successful and still earn income. I have God to thank for all of the wonderful ways to follow my dreams of providing for my family. I am ready to share with you ways you can earn money from home while buying things you already buy. There is a great chance you will meet wonderful new friends and be successful while having more quality time to spend with your family. What other business offers that chance? message me at investinyoutoday@aol.com if you would like to learn how you to can follow your dreams!

no real job doesnt mean you can't be successful

Without a real job, you cannot earn money. Ever hear the old saying God provides? It is true.

 While off work it is important to follow your dreams.

 it is a lot like the old saying If you keep doing what you are doing you are gonna keep getting what you are getting.

When you make yourself productive through volunteer work or hobbies you have always wanted to try, you find what you love to do.

When you do what you love and love what you do, the money will come eventually.

Be in the right place at the right time. When you hear opportunity knocking do you answer the door?

No real job is your opportunity to open the door to new things.

I began editing photos I had taken. I began taking more photos. I love photography.

I had always wanted to be an artist and help others when I grew up. I had always wanted to write a book.

I have a passion for chairs and rescuing things to save the earth and to save things that I see potential beauty in.

I began dragging home old chairs, desks, benches,and vanities and sanding stripping them staining and painting which equalled a small bit of income!

 Painted furniture is gaining popularity in the midwest.

In fact there is a very prestigious company in chicago that only paints vintage furniture in black or white.

 I googled painted furniture after I had painted a few pieces to see what I should put as a price tag on my work.
The numbers in that chicago store were quite high!
Since traveling there was not an option, the lower sale price was good enough for me at the time.

The neighborhood I live in is pretty quiet, a lot of older retired couples who travel, a few empty homes, and families with kids who are all never home.

The project i started along with a neighborhood group to add a community garden and park area to improve the empty barren city lot in my neighborhood of 160 home area is coming along quite nicely!

The book idea and my photography work are gaining possibilities and exposure on the internet. I hope to find funding for my book project within the next year.

Who knew my love of photography would ever turn into prints in an art studio or a book even?

God has a plan for us. Remember that saying?

Things are coming together quite nicely!

There are many other ideas I created like helping others experience the joy of painting a canvas.

It can even turn into an event at a fundraiser by auctioning off all ages participants artwork to their friends and family members or even the local art aficionado!
My project is called DonatePaint.


Helping others and creating websites out of my ideas as I go along each day have created many great opportunities to help make a difference.

The key is to network your ideas, enjoy your time off from a real job try something new and who knows You too may be pleasantly surprised at the outcome!

We may feel like our life is over without our job.

 Believe me, it is not easy to start all over.

 To even write out a job application can be turmultuous.

 To create a new resume can be devastating.

 How about facing your family? Finances? Budget?

betya that is shot without a job eh?.

No job doesn’t mean you are dead however,

I will cover many of those resources here.

 A very low cost investment for your future!

You can also email me and follow the blog at no charge.

Together we will learn how to work from home.

 You do know once you get a taste of unemployment and the freedom to set your own hours
 it is hard to return to a full time job for someone on their time.
