Websites updated

Hello one and all!

The Holidays are coming! Soon Hannukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and other celebrations will be here very soon. Not only does that mean celebrating with your loved ones, it also means trying to find that perfect gift for each family member (or at least for the relative whose name you've drawn for this year, that you don't know that well because they live in another state) and you're clueless about what to get each of them. Let me help you out!

I have started my own business with Amway Global and have three wonderful sites to choose from. Not only is everything bought online, during your schedule from the privacy of your home, but your privacy and security of credit card information is secured from a company that has been in business for decades. Not only are you guaranteed your information is secured, but the items are shipped directly to your door, and every order that is $75.00 or more retail sale, you receive free shipping at this time!

The websites are

For beauty products and skin care for men and women is

For our Health and Nutrition line (Which includes the Perfect Water mentioned in the article below) is

Suppose you have that Aunt that you can't quite figure out, or you think of the cousin that you know likes music, but you don't know if they want an IPOD or a Digital Camara, what do you do?

Give that relative the gift of Choice! I have a website of different catalogs for you to choose from. Order the catalog that fits into your budget, and then have it mailed to you. After you receive the package, it will have a gift card that is assigned to that catalog from you. They will never know how much you paid, and they will not be charged anything to receive their gift, not even shipping! Give them the catalog for Christmas, and they will have a year from the date of purchase to redeem the gift from the catalog. We have catalogs for almost every possible situation in life from the wedding to the birth of a child to a just because, or even a catalog dedicated solely to chocolate for those you know that enjoy it!

The website for the catalogs is

http://aworking.ordermygift.com

All three websites have been updated recently and the new products have been included.

Happy Shopping and I wish you the best and happiest times for the holidays for you and for those you love!

God Bless!

Genealogy - Your ancestors in History

As some of you may know, one aspect of the Latter Day Saint faith is to do research about your family and their personal history. I like to know not only their names, but also a little about them. I have been blessed to discover that I am a descendant and relation to several movers and shakers of the past as well as from a royal blood line. This helped me immensely personally because I had struggled with the question "Who am I?" for years, and although I am still discovering the answer to that question, a part of the answer has been, for me anyway, to look into the past and see the family members from which I come from...something that had been lost for generations, or a fact that only a few elderly members of the family knew.

I am grateful to have the honor of becoming the historian of my generation for my family, and even if you are not a member of the LDS Church, I encourage you for your own personal reflection and sense of gratitude to research your own family lines and learn of your ancestors. There is a blessing in the book of Malichi that refers to 'the hearts of the children will return to their fathers and the hearts of the fathers to their children' It is a commandment in the Old Testament, therefore should be honored not only in LDS, but other denominations and religions as well.

May the Lord of Heaven bless your efforts to learn of your roots, as well as your family.

God Bless!

Thought for the Day

The following quote is from a calendar that was given to me last year for Christmas, that was homemade by friends.

"Poise is defined as the art of raising the eyebrows instead of the roof."

I went to get some lunch before going into work this afternoon, and a gentleman was looking at my food not certain what was on my plate (it was a country fried steak with white gravy) He apologized for staring and asked what I had and I told him. Again he apologized and I said "It's quite alright, sir" He got a little frumpled and said, "I'm not used to people calling me 'sir'; but I guess I'm old enough to start expecting it more." I replied, "To me the word 'sir' has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with respect." He said, "well, people don't give that type of respect very much around here anymore." I told him to have a nice day.

It is sad, that the people in my area are called out for simple act of kindnesses and treating others, even strangers with dignity. What used to be the norm in proper communications is becoming obsolete and being replaced with profanity and gross indifference for humankind.

It is my hope that this post will remind others to treat all people with the dignity and respect with which they would want to be treated.

Have a blessed weekend!

The Challenge

My dear friends and bloggers..I have a challenge for you, it is not something I thought up, actually the credit goes to Oprah Winfrey. Although I do not watch her on a regular basis, her challenge of being someone's angel of mercy has touched my life. One day as I was working a couple of years ago at a McDonald's Drive -Thru, a client in the drive-thru noticed the car behind hers was not in the best of shape. She, having a nicer vehicle took notice of their meager means and told me when she got to the window that she wanted to be someone's angel as Oprah had described on her show about showing kindness and giving to those in need without them necessarily knowing about it. She decided to pay for the young family's meal and for me to put it on her card and then wave them on thru. All she asked that I say to the family was to tell them Merry Christmas!

Today, I was at work at another restaurant when a driver's car got stuck in our drive thru. I went to my car in effort to jump hers off. Unfortunately for her, the problem was not the battery. The young woman looked stress and as if she was about to cry. I sat down with her for a couple of minutes and told her a couple of good mechanics she could go to that she could trust. I then told her that if her ride was not there by the time that I got off work I would gladly take her home. I told her not to worry that it would all work out, and to be thankful that she wasn't out of town when the car broke down or that she wasn't hurt in any way, it was a machine and can be fixed or replaced. She thanked me for my kindness and her ride showed up in plenty of time to take her home.

My challenge to everyone who cares to take it, is don't wait until the holidays to spread kindness and help to a person in need. I'm not saying to go out and purposely look for some stranger to help, but at the same time, I am saying that when the opportunity to help arises, then takethe initiative and help them, if you are able. Do not give your last dollar so that you don't havea meal for yourself in the morning, but do what you can in order to help.

I did have the misfortune that I had friend that was in need of groceries, and I did not have the money to feed her family because I hadn't been paid in three weeks due to a job change and my means were not enough to give to them and manage my own household, so I gave her the number to First Call for Help, United Way and another local organization that helps in those types of situations. Unfortunately, she was offended and angry because I didn't just give her money or the groceries and told me that if she had been of my faith, I would have had no problem just giving her the money. I am a single woman, and she has a family of three to feed. My income would not allow for me to offer her the assistance that she was demanding.

I am not saying to give until it hurts financially, I am saying to help a neighbor carry groceries into their home. Listen to a stranger that you perceive is upset. You may not be able to help their situation, but you could show some compassion and listen for a couple of minutes, maybe even give them an idea or two about how to fix their situation, or the number to the organization that would be able to render them some assistance.

Not everyone is in a bad way, but random acts of kindnesses to those that you see you could help, brings a smile not only to your face, but to theirs as well. This challenge is not for the holidays only, it is for everyday of the year! Think it's a good idea? Tell others about this challenge and pass it on!

Good Luck and God Bless to everyone willing to make someone smile today!

Hello Again!

Sorry so long since my last post on this page. I have been blogging with the schmibrosblog quite a bit and haven't really put much time into this one. I will try and do a better job in the near future!

I hope this blog finds everyone well and happy! I am currently reading a book by Joyce Meyer called "Battlefield of the Mind" Basically it is a book about the power of positive thinking and is full of scriptures from the Bible. Very well put together, and speaks of speaking life and peace not only into your own life, but into the lives of those around you. How to not let someone else's bad attitude ruin your day. Anda reminder that there is an enemy of our souls that will do anything to keep us miserable.

I would like to add that although we need to be mindful that the devil exists, I have personally found it to be very harmful to try and focus too much attention on the devil's war methods. There are some sects of christians that say that you have to know the mind of the devil in order to protect yourself. I disagree. I know for a fact from personal experience that overfocusing on the enemy will eventually get your eyes off of the Master and Saviour of us all and could prove to be not only emotionally but even physically harmful for all involved.

It is by far more important to keep your focus on Christ and Heavenly Father. Jesus won the battle on the Cross, and now all I have to do is walk in the light of His Love for me. I am not saying to be ignorant. But I am saying that the LORD inhabits the praises of His people. Not only our prayers, but our songs of praise and adoration. Even sacrificial praises, when you really don't feel like giving Him your love, to do so anyway. He will help and guide you thru the dark times in your life, and may make the load seem lighter to you, but HE will not always immediately take it from you because there is something for you to learn from the experience.

So, if the devil knocks on your door; just say, "Jesus, could you get that for me, please?" In other words, have your heart, mind, and spirit so focused on the LORD that you don't have time to mess with satan and his games. You will discover that while you are so focused on Christ that if the enemy does try and come to call, the Spirit of the LORD will guide and protect you.

God Bless!
