What are you doing for yourself this week?

You all really motivated me last week💛

I learned to solder this little heart last week at a meetup😊

Good for You. Last month I took a class in pine straw weaving, and made a lovely little basket, I will do some more....Sprinkle 1.....

Isn’t it nice to look at what you made and feel proud? Not just of what you made but of the experience of making it with new people 😊

I enrolled in a water aerobics class, starts in march. I also put a $ deposit on a german shepherd puppy, will pick up on 3/21. We lost our elderly dog this winter. My husband gave me the thumbs up on puppy, Im so excited. Im 66 and feel like a kid on christmas eve. Been along time since Ive felt this good.

You are on a roll! Isn’t it nice having things to look foreword to? I am putting more meetups and a couple plans with friends in my calendar this week to get excited about

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

YES💜

It was fun. Other people there alone on Valentine’s Day. I felt welcomed. Even decided to do a casual membership to go work on a couple of other creative projects there a month. Gonna go back next week. What do you have going this week?

[Hidden]

This week... hmmm... I can’t plan that far in advance any more. My sleep dictates my life now. If I have a family event by chance planned, I’m running on anxiety and caffeine.

I will say, when spring comes I take pride in planting flowers, so I’m waiting for that. Be gone winter. 😂

🌺💐🌻

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I want to see photos of your flowers after you plant them. Will you share?😍

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Absolutely, I share bits and pieces of me through the posts I make, I've yet to ever create a thread. haha

I think my first one should be sharing something that I love and most likely did it on no sleep. 👍😁🤣

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I’ll look for it 😍😊

I get it. College was tough and grad school. I gained over 100 pounds. It felt like just keeping my head above water. I wish I knew then how important it is to have hobbies and find simple joy in small things that had nothing to do with work or school. This week I have a group coming over tomorrow to discuss volunteer work I do with foster youth. Then I have a mixer meetup for real estate to help the homeless students at the college I work at. I have a writing group on Saturday for the book I’m writing. A couple plans with friends too. The. There is work of course lol. Just gonna see how it goes. What are your thoughts for your week?

[Hidden]

That’s a lot! No comparisons. Everyone’s life is different. What’s the costume for??

[Hidden]

Sounds fun. That stuff takes a long time to prep. What’s your character’s name?

[Hidden]

I love that. Sounds cool. See you have something 😉💛

[Hidden]

It’s a start 😊

[Hidden]

I’m on the outside looking in based on what you have posted. It helps bring me clarity sometimes. That’s why I love posting here. New perspective 🤓

What a beautiful heart!

I'm editing a novel this weekend. It's a long and arduous process, but I enjoy it and dream of being a published YA author some say.

[Hidden in reply to LadyZen]

Thank you. It was so fun to make. Oh my gosh a published author! That’s a huge accomplishment. How do you stay motivated as an author? I’m just starting my first manuscript of narrative nonfiction.

[LadyZen]

I stay connected with a writing group. That helps a lot.

[Hidden in reply to LadyZen]

I am so nervous to share my work but I think I have to write something to make that happen 😉😊

[Hidden]

Wow you are awesome , I love your work.

So let's talk business.. we make different designs we create a website to include marketing platforms and investors willing to contribute to get the ball rolling. So I'm looking at your work let's say you made a heart like the one on the photo then you include a stand or something. Now you sell off hand let's say $5 online wich doesnt include shipping that would be the customers choice of shipping option. So let's go $5 plus fall off $2 for running the website and other marketing ads you throw out. So your looking at $3 profit. If you were to sell atleast 150,000 at $3 your at 450,000. Now that's a give and take but your likely to advertise and sell around the globe being you are online company such as amazon, ebay or whatever it may be. So average sell if it's an unpopular item maybe 300,000 to 500,000 items to be sold. Now if your product blows up it can sell up to a million or more in sales. Now you take $3 at a million sales and you get 3,000,000 offcourse.

So now you put a million into the stocks and start purchasing shares and you live off of that.

So when do you wanna get started ??

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Wow that’s a huge compliment. My first time doing solder or any electrical. It took almost 3 hours to bond all the joints. So I don’t think in this lifetime that I could ever make that many hearts, but I love your idea. I went for the experience of learning something for fun and meeting new people. I’m a public servant that works with kids in foster care. Just finding new hobbies but thanks for that compliment on my work. Next time I’m going to try a clock 😊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It's very beaultiful and creative, its alot of fun I bet. I've honestly never tried doing something like this but it could come very handy on electronics or something in that nature. Anyways I realy didnt know anything about stocks or opening up a website to sell anything but it kind of sounded good for a moment to add figures that high lol🤣🤣..

And I know you probrally sitting there sayin to yourself how the hell am I gonna make 500,000 duplicates of this when 3 hours gone by and im still.on the first product..lol

It's all good sometimes when you want something it's much easier to get it ..

God bless you for working with kids and foster care. You are an amazing person I think you are added to the most famous on here..

Dolphin will agree...

Have a nice day and keep doing what you do ..

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Wow so many kind words. Thank you for all of that. I feel lucky to get to do what I love. Letting that be my guide. I thought the business stuff sounded really impressive 🤓...what are you gonna do this week for yourself?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

This week celebrating my daughters 7th bday on thursday so probrally gonna take her out to something special,

Lastnight celebrated up with the family fiesta of our lady saint santa Lourdes.

Had a good time just getting together with my close family members took out the guitar everybody would sing . We had kareoke going on afterward and alot of good food. So what are you doing this week . ?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You’re busy. My dad always says, “busy people are happy people.” I kind of agree with that, as long as it’s busy doing things you love. This week I have 3 meetups, some volunteer work with my foster kids. A couple nights of plans with friends and of course work somewhere in there. I think I have something social scheduled everyday this week, which is hard for me. I tend to isolate and stay home. Working on pushing past the depression and social anxiety to let new people in.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Your dad is absolutely right. When you have plans and stay busy yes you stay happy. It only means you give purpose in your life, depression and anxiety makes things alot harder but we only have this one life minus well go do the best you can and live...

I hope you have fun with your friends

Party hard 👨🏽‍🚀🏈😉

This week I did some knitting. I then went to a common not far away on a hike.
