Ok, I am sure many of you will point out to me that HEY is for HORSES. But guess what!? It's HAY that is for HORSES and HEY is for me saying hi to each and every one of you at almost midnight my time.
I've been thinking long and hard about this for days now, and I think I am going to eat my own words (and what YUMMY words they are!) and start a new business for myself! YEP! I'm doing it again folks..... I'm venturing out on my own and being my own boss. Know why? Cuz I'm just too darn stubborn to listen to anyone elses orders. I can fire myself daily if I like and be bullheaded enough to ignore it and be back at it the next day! Yep, I'm like that.
Want to know what I am going to be doing????? Keep reading daily cuz I'll give hints and updates. Can anyone guess?? Come on... Guess... and I will give you one hint... it's NOT phone related.... (sorry mom!)
Now with that said, I'm still looking for the adventure - so keep ideas coming to my inbox at itsthewriter@gmail.com or post them below .... ya never know what might catch my eye!!!!
Peace ~ Love ~ Happiness

My Ideal Job
So, I keep saying, send me a job offer. I suppose I should clear up what kind of job I want, right? Perhaps a shoe saleswoman (coughs - more info on that at another time hehehe). Perhaps a bartender at a resort in Cozumel (now that wouldn't be all that bad would it??) Perhaps a trash collector. (Nah - not that anything is wrong with that!)
I have learned recently and confirmed my suspicions that I am really good at marketing. I have a good grasp on multiple facets of modern day marketing ideas and have used them in several ways to help grow businesses lately. One was cut short before my prime, but in an online world (Second Life), I helped raise over $16,000 for a person needing help in just a few short weeks. It taught me that I am strong and can perform under pressure and make things happen. It taught me that I can implement ideas and utilize others to make things happen quickly and successfully. So I think my ideal job would be something that I can make ideas happen and run with them till they do. I'd love this job to be fun, eventful, exciting and include travel. There, I said it. I spelled it out. Whew. Feels good to clearly say those things.
What else would I like to do? Maybe a travel writer? The opportunity to go places and write about them? Heck ya! Except Iraq - not sure I want to write about that (Not that anything is wrong with that) but just sayin.... Leave a comment about where you think would be the best places to write about ;)
Leave a comment too if you have any ideas on what you think might be a good job for me. I need adventure - need to share my skills with the world again - need to see the world!
Peace ~ Love ~ Happiness
P.S. Have passport - will hop on a plane!!!! Weeeeeeeeeeeee

Rain Rain Go Away
Ok, it's still raining in Ohio, but I took the time to take a look at Indeed.com to see if there any local jobs that caught my eye. Nope, none. Nothing popped its head up and said "Look at me!!!!!!!!" Am I being delusional? Am I expecting my dream job to just land in my lap? Well maybe.....
You know, they say you find things when you are not looking for them. Oh - wait - is that only love? I'm not sure I believe that. But could it be possible that it could happen in the job field? If you are not desperate for a job, and you let the universe take hold of destiny, could you be surfing the web or talking to friends and all of a sudden, a job rears it's beautiful head? A lead takes hold. A suggestion is followed.
But are we brave enough to follow our heart when things like that happen? Are we encouraged in life to follow our hopes and our dreams? Or do we simply follow what society thinks we should do? How many of us actually do what we WANT to do? Dan Miller of 48days.com once said, and I'll never forget this.... "Think back to what you wanted to be when you were a kid" .... I personally never had a big career path picked out as a child but as I got older, I remember wanting to do something with travel. Travel agents don't actually travel.... cruise directors do (I considered that one). Travel writers travel. Hmmmm.....
I want to be brave and consider all options as I chose this next path in my life. I want to see which direction it takes me and be brave enough to follow it. More people should do that in life, don't you think? Be brave, courageous, able to leap forward and know that their ideas will be accepted by those that love them. I dare each of you to do the same.
How many of you want to start your own business? I have talked to many people in this world who have said to me that their dream was to work for themselves. WELL DO IT! Start small - start huge - but do it! Some of the largest companies out there were started in garages. So follow your heart and see where it takes you. I plan on doing just that. For once in my life, I'm following my heart. My head will catch up but I'm following my heart. We'll see where it takes me. Come along for the ride!

Day One - Deciding I should get a new job
Wakes with a strange feeling - is it Saturday? Oh... no.... it's Monday. Scrambles around getting ready for.... errrr.... what is it I am getting ready for??? My part time job is quiet this week as my boss is in Milan. Ok so now what... hmmm clean the house? How mundane. It's already clean. Hmmm ok - find a new job. Yes, a JOB. Well is it really a job if you love what you do? Gets me thinking... find something I love. My husband suggests I write. Ya, well, it's a thought. Ok I'll think about it. Hmmmmmmm done thinking.
Ok... thinking done, I realize that I AM going to write. But I'm going to incorporate it into my job hunt. Let's create a BLOG about my job hunt. Granted, it may have a very small following, but it's the year 2011 and you can write about whatever you want to write about these days. So I am going to post my journey about finding my next adventure. To me, jobs are not jobs - they are adventures in life. Chances to fulfill your dreams. The mundane and boring jobs will be ignored - unless chocolate is involved - then we'll discuss it.
Let the fun of finding my next adventure begin!!!!!!!
Feel free to comment, suggest, share and send me job offers! The more the merrier and the more adventurous - the better!
