Flash thoughts
-I understand wanting side income, but once a blog turns into a page of Posts selling products I am done. Everyone does not have the skill to monetize a blog while retaining the original vibe of the blog. Whatever happened to ads on the side of the page?
- A blogger used to write about her marriage and the importance of being financially compatible. I am pretty sure she said she exchanged credit reports. She also wrote about marrying a man with some means.
Anyway now she is divorced and I feel like she owes readers something. If she and her ex-husband were financially compatible as she claimed, then why not acknowledge that money may not be the ground to build a marriage on. If a person gives a bad prescription, the person should let folks know they were wrong and recall the product they were selling.
I do not know what makes a marriage work. I can speak on why I believe my marriage is a good place. I sorta think marriage takes 2 committed people. If one or more people thinks compatibility is more important than commitment then it may be trouble. I watch Tia and Tamera and they shared a womb and are not compatible in every area. Their commitment to the relationship is why they work, IMO.
- I think some competitive person was nosey about my business and instead of just asking, the person did unnecessary, time wasting actions. Insanity is real. A person has to be crazy to pretend and create a scheme just to prove or disprove my business success.
This nosey person is actually the person who drove me to find my area of practice. Since that experience I don't get mad when folks try to throw up road blocks or throw me off my course. I take it as notice that I had gotten too comfy where I was and God either needs me elsewhere or has something greater for me. Maybe both. Back then I was substitute teaching while trying to build my practice. A few months later I was able to be a full time attorney.
-folks can have all the ingredients but if they do not know how to put those ingredients together, they can waste the ingredients. Some take time to learn the order or best way to design something others, some others get the ingredients without taking time to learn the best way to make something. Sometimes the right person can do more with wrong ingredients than the wrong person can do with the right ingredients.
-I just learned that lunch at the school we want for TR is $5.50 per day. Wow! I need to get my lunch packing skills perfected. The school is close enough that I can drop a hot lunch off most days.

you are brilliant in your ramblings!
and yes get to making lunch..5.50 a day is way too much and is it gourmet food? nosirreebob
I dont speak on marriages either, but from my long time in it definitely takes mutual commitment.
I wanted to wave my hand like a church lady when I read your commitment statement. It makes so much sense, yet we still focus on the surface things. I was that kind of dater, but vow not to be that kind of wife. I try to be conscious of all the little and big things that make my new marriage work and try to keep incorporating it and growing from there. I just don't like when these blogs try to act like they have the magic answer. Those poor women that followed in her footsteps...sigh.
I had a former friend who did some elaborate mess just to be nosey about someone's life that she barely knew. From that point on, the extent of the nosey don't shock me.
$5.50 a day? Times have changed. Alyssa's high school lunch is now $3.75 a day, but she takes lunch everyday. I remember the days of $1.80 when she was in elementary, and up until 5th grade she was in a private school. But on another note, How exciting that TR is going to "big girl" school!
