Back in business - rants and raves!

Well, it's been two weeks since I posted and I've got a lot to talk about!  I had to start making a list so I wouldn't forget what's been on my mind.  So, let me go back a week or so... to elections.

Will someone please tell me why we had to pay for two separate elections in my area - just 2 weeks apart?  Everyone's always griping about spending - and we do this?  My ballot had ONE issue on it the second election.  ONE!  I just can't stand the fact that we can't get ourselves together to have just ONE election day to pay for!  Alright - that was my first rant!

How about a RAVE!?  Do any of you watch "Army Wives"?  I love this show!  I wanted to just give a shout out to the writers, for starters.  This season has been so real (at least to a civilian) - more so than even the past seasons I loved.  The depth of emotion from these characters is wonderful.  The next shout out - and the MOST IMPORTANT - is to the actual men and women who bravely serve our country.  They only represent about 1% of the population, but what amazing sacrafices they make for the other 99%!  I am humbled by the service of these individuals and hope to find a way to do my part to help them.  I know that the First Lady and Jill Biden are working with a cause to help military families - JoiningForces.gov       I'll have to try to find some opportunities for service there.

I've been busy working on launching a new business.  I'm finalizing a website and getting all of my ducks in a row.  I've wanted to find some legitimate online business opportunities for several years now.  My mom has been finding different programs for us to investigate, but none have been a good fit for either her or me.  Until now...  I have found a couple of different things that are so easy - one is FREE - that I can't wait to get my site up and share it with you all!  I've been on such a huge learning curve over the last few months - I'm trying to take the hard part away from those of you who may be interested in a home-based business yourselves.  It can be a daunting task to learn how everything works online - and can be expensive.  I didn't want to be selling something in the healthcare/beauty industry (that's just not for me) and I didn't want to have to beg friends and family to have parties, etc.  But I HAVE done that.  Not anymore!  These business opportunities are actually fun and easy.  Stay tuned for more in a couple of days on this matter.

So, I'll save another rant and rave (lots left on my list) for tomorrow.

Until then....  I'm thankful I live in a country where I can have the opinions I have!
