Well things have been up and down life wise, career wise hit some personal walls including a nasty bout of writers block. Lack of time to really settle down and game so that I have material for my shows. Then still trying to convince people who claim to trust me that my business is not a scam. Ah well life is throwing me lemons instead of crying im going to make some lemonade candy and whatever else I can since I love Citrus stuff anyway!
Seriously things have been rough though I am not bringing in enough with my free lance work anymore. May have to consider getting extra help and will be moving to a more affordable place soon. Love this area of Durham I just can't justify having no money by middle of the month anymore and until my business and projects pick up I have to be smarter. Raising James is important and he shouldn't go without just so we can say we live in a fancy area.
I am trying hard not to let myself stress though, considering my former situation to where I am now I know things are getting better, health wise, motivation wise, and even love is really starting to blossom with a certain you know who. Its strange feeling this way about him but I know its the real deal and who knows where we will go from here but I am hoping that its far.
Either way back to business if I can find enough customer points by helping family and friends with products and expenses I can get on the path of really being alright. I also need to get this article idea out of my brain and onto paper for the new magazine. More thoughts to come soon!

Things some may one day regret...
Hello out there in blogger land, instead of hawking my business in this blog post im going to get a little personal. After witnessing some discourse at my god parents house I am compelled to write about something that has troubled me for 35 years of my life.
Some people out there never realize what they have till its completely out of their reach. I was raised by my mother without a father in my life, or as involved in my life as little as possible. Sometimes I am angry or bitter when I think about that but most of the time I am just sad.
When I see someone argue with their dad, when I see discord and hear a father talk about tossing a child out I have to wonder how it would feel to them if they did not have that option at all? I know what I would have given to have had a father in my life, and now that my son is being raised only by me I am more so full of regrets.
Having a positive partriach to look up to is something some of us do not get the chance or choice to have in our lives. sometimes fate decides to have men sire us who have no desire to take up the mantle of responsibility. so as I type this if you do have a father in your life, no matter how wrong he can be at times, set in his ways or down right stubborn, remember there are people out there who don't have that an probably will never have it. My biological father died in 2001 taking with him the last chance for us to have any kind of bond or relationship. My son's father has all but disappeared trust me when I say I am going to regret the day he gets to my age and realizes all he missed out on because I feel it a lot of days lately.
Just hug your dad if you read this, let him know that no matter what you love him, because their may come a day where you wont be able to utter it to his face. Cherish what you have because it is more precious then you know.

The downside of direct marketing
Well as I said in my last blog I started my home based business. And while I really think this is the career for me its been fraught with inconveniences. I can deal with friends calling it a scam, I can deal with family ducking my calls. Its the flat out liars that are wearing down what little good will I Have.
The worst one was the lady from the night I thought we had two sign ups. She pulled out her credit card and everything seemed willing to be apart of my business only claimed to have issues with her bank when it didn't go threw. That's fine we've all been there right?
Never returned any calls never even say "Hey know what I am just not interested I got caught up in the moment."
Then I have people who swear "oh Im going to sign up for something Tynnie I got your back." Ive checked my virtual office all week, some of the closest people to me have now confirmed they are liars. The worst part is talking to them on a daily basis and them acting as if they did not tell me they were going to sign up for stuff. (I'll just talk about the weather or what not Tynnie wont care that I wasn't up front with her).
Then there are the people who take my information call me then say they will call back and never do. Why is it so hard in this day in age to turn someone down gently? If I was a telemarketer Id be getting all forms of no's from polite to out right rude.
With this its been more frustrating people dodging me then anything else. I am going to keep at it, the benefits of being apart of this franchise is just too good. Residual income, a chance at stock options for a privately held company on the fast track to making a billion dollars. I know it takes time to build such a business up most predict 5 years. Its just this first few weeks have really soured me towards people. I won't lie its gotten me a bit depressed as well. I know I am not going to become an over night millionaire so its not that. Its not even missing out on the 30 bonus. Its knowing that people who I normally trust can't be up front with me that's really got me down. I hope this feeling passes.
