One of the ways that I've been supporting myself has been to accept blogging assignments to link my posts to different commercial products.
Some of these products are certainly more fun to write about than others.
Not being a math person, but an artsy type, posts like financial reporting software stretch me and help me to realize about a product that might really be able to help me with my dollars and cents.

Over the next several weeks I'll be launching a program to tweak the Camp Agape Cove blog.
Many fun ideas dance in my head on how to make this blog a fun place to visit.
I'll be updating the look, adding compelling photos, videos, and much more.
Stay tuned! Come back often and tell me what you think about the changes.
Also tell me what you would like to see here.
I'll also be adding some resource pages for companies to promote products, where I'll link to great products like Callaway golf in out-of-the-box ways.

If I were to get a new office at some point, I might like it to have big windows and maybe French Doors leading out to a rose garden.
For office furniture I might like rare antiques or fine reproductions with impressionistic art and elaborate Greek molding.
Ok, maybe I'm dreaming. I'd be happy with a happy little office filled with sunshine and good synergy and whatever company-issued furniture I would be allowed to use.
In fact, I would be thrilled with a great position where I could pour my heart and soul into making the world a better place.

Who would ever think that a person could live through lean times on buckets of change?
I certainly didn't realize it was even possible. But then my life entered seasons where cash didn't flow and I quickly learned just how little a person can by on if their life circumstances require them to do so.
It might not be fun, but there are valuable lessons to be learned during times of struggle. We realize that so much that we invest our hard-earned money into is simply worthless. The return on our investment should we desire to sell something becomes mere pennies on the dollars.
But buckets of cached change... ah, now that is a different matter alltogether!
Get yourself a coin sorter and you will quickly realize that you might just have a small fortune in loose pocket change.

I could see Camp Agape Cove as a place where dogs would come with their owners. When I was growing up I had the wonderful privilege of being at a camp where dogs did come with their owners. These dogs were seeing-eye dogs and the camp was the Lions Club Blind Camp in Nebraska. I was a junior counselor. It was one of the amazing experiences of my life that taught me the value of service, it also brought me face-to-face with Nebraska's Governor.
For all your K9 Cuisine needs think...Premium dog food.

"Now I have something to smile about!" I said showing off my beautiful pearly whites.
"Your teeth look great! What is your secret?"
Whispering my response I said," Hydrogen peroxide and the wonderful Dr. Tom Farley, the charlotte cosmetic dentist extraordinaire."

The window blinds were parted in a rather unusual way, Lexi thought as she drove her BMW into the driveway.
Hopping out of the yellow convertible, she raced to the suite, ready to see her friend. But nothing in all the world could protect her from what she would discover inside.

A Florida vacation can teach many lessons to the willing student.
The problems of discipline are always the same. Essentially, you have to decide what works for you.
Find a process that works and delivers the results and then apply that process to the job of getting the work done.
Sometimes the process we come up with works for a long time, other times perhaps only briefly. The important thing is to not get cemented into one way of doing something. Be flexible and willing to move with the flow.

Need A Little Energy Boost
Need a little Energy Boost this morning.
I've been pecking away for almost an hour. But I'm still in my pajamas. Better go get some breakfast, so my brain will be revved for the work ahead.
Be back in a bit after I hit the treadmill and shower.

In A Connect The Dot World
"Well, I'm honored that you have been dedicating your blog postings to me tonight."
"Its the least I can do considering everything that you do. I appreciate the job you are doing. I'm proud of you."
"Thanks that means alot to me. So do you think you might continue to speak to me like this?"
"Well actually writing in this style, could actually be helping me to hone my skills."
"You are already an excellent writer. I love reading your column."
"Thank you. But there is big difference between writing a 750 word column and an 75,000 word love story."
"Are you suggesting something..."
"I can't say... It's a God thing! This could be a God-written love story."
"I'm wondering something. I have reservations at an Orlando vacation home rental for the weekend. Would you be my guest?"
"For now I think it is best for us to exist in a connect the dot world. Patience is a good thing. If it is meant to be, we will have all of eternity together."

The Beneficiary
"Well this is just dandy!" Agatha hissed, "Not only have you managed to highjack my heart, you've killed my chances of performing on this stage ever again! I just wish you would get out of my life forever. I wish I had never met you."
"Wow, Baby! You're killing me. It is not my fault. Talk to the director and see for yourself. Sheesh the way you are talking to me I think I better purchase some Death insurance."
"You do that! Just make sure you make me the beneficiary," Agatha said as she stormed off the set.
