Get The Word Out Wednesday #4-2014

Hello everyone!  I am back.

I have to apologize for being absent for the past two weeks, with everything going on in my life I did not realize it had been two weeks since I posted or checked in through anything but facebook.

Just a little update on my world.

  I know I have a “anticipated” schedule I had hope to adhere too but the recent setback of my own health and my daughters put a damper on that plan.

I will be back in force in January.

 Income Earning Ideas You Can Build On

Please realize that as much as I would like this post to apply to everyone and their physical challenges.

It is not possible.

I tried.

Here is a list of short term income earning ideas that can be expanded to continue earning throughout the year.

All of them require some kind of physical activity, but most require “limited” time on your feet and allow you to control your own hours.

Most suggestions require little to no start-up costs. Read more »

Living With A Chronic Illness- My Current Struggle

Living With A Chronic Illness- My Current Struggle

For you regular readers, you know this post is supposed to be about easy, low-cost handmade gifts.

I promise that post is coming (tomorrow) I hope.  I know that many of you with a chronic illness or physical challenges understand that what you want to do and what you can accomplish are two entirely different things.

For those of you who do not struggle just to accomplish a task as simple as combing your hair, I pray you never have to.

Since writing is what I seem to do all the time now, I have decided the best way to deal with my current battle is to get it out there, and posting it on my Facebook page just stirs a whole pot I don’t want to mess with.

This post is a vent.

If you want “perfume and roses” I suggest you skip this post. Read more »
