As a Mom in Slippers, Yes, I Really Do Work in Comfort!

When you visited my website and if you read my story, you already know that I am a work from home mother who has reaped enless rewards and benefits that being a home business owner brings.  I love working in comfort with my bedroom slippers wrapped around embracing and warming my feet.  I am comfortable, but more importantly, I am content.  

When I go to bed at night, I never have to lie in bed dreading having to get up at the wee hours of the next morning to go to work in an office setting for someone else.  I don't have to worry about leaving my home, unless I choose to, to drive to an office working all day with only 30 perhaps 45 minutes for lunch.  I don't have to worry about leaving my home before my kids are safely on the bus and I don't have the fear of taking and leaving my babies to a daycare center to go to a 9-5 job where my babies are in a daycare literally being raised by someone else because let's face it, when you're forced to put your child in daycare all day long, that daycare provider is truly raising your little one.   When I am awakened each and every morning I am so grateful that I have my very own home-based business(es).  

I started out typing and transcribing.  I enjoyed transcribing because I enjoyed listening to the interviews being conducted by the professor.  It gave me a sense of appreciation for what I have.  I learned a lot from the interviews and they were a breeze.   There was no medical terminology involved even though I was prepared to take on that challenge.  I had taken a medical terminology course years ago and found the medical words easy to spell, but that's only because I am an excellent speller.  Transcribing medical reports was someone of a challenge only because I was transcribing various specialties which proved to be an enormous plus for me because it really helped me to become even more marketable.  

I began transcribing hematology/oncology reports, GI (gastroenterology) reports and dermatology reports.  I even did some internal medicine reports and found these to be the easiest.

I decided to take huge leaps of faith and venture out even further into other paths where the light led me to what I am doing at this very moment which I will share with you as soon as I have everything place.  In the meantime, I have started my own graphic design business.  Graphic design has become my biggest passion, along with my writing children's books, poetry and short stories.  It is amazing how I got started in graphic design.  I was sitting at my computer one day and just started creating coloring pages for children, but the only program available to me that I was aware of was Microsoft Word which really limits what you can do, but I was still able to design some incredible coloring pages for children.  By the Grace of God, I was led to a graphic design software program that I found too difficult to use, but I tried it just the same.  I was given a thirty-day free trial period and I used that program every single day until those thirty days expired.  It took me all thirty days to figure out the program.  By the time I was able to appreciate it, the thirty-days were up.  Time passed by and everyday I thought about that program.  It was too too expensive to buy so I just said to myself one day I'll get the program.  One day came sooner than I had anticipated and I was thrilled.  I had to reconnect with the program and I didn't waste anytime getting re-acquainted with the program and I did just that and I have been designing ever since.  At first my designs lacked a lot, but now I think I have what it takes to create some of the most of unique and beautiful designs ever; even if I say so myself.

I am now working several home based businesses and love everything that I do.  You, too, can do the same.  If you have a passion, why not take time to pursue your dreams and goals.  It's easy when you have a passion, a skill and or a talent.

My Family; the Reason I Work From Home 

Every morning when I am awakened by God's mercy, I think of His grace; I open my heart that speaks to my tongue that reminds me to give thanks unto the Lord for His goodness.  I am humbled; I remain humbled throughout my day as I climb out of bed to begin another new day.  

I make my way to my son's room and pray that, he too, is breathing the breath of life; a true gift from God the Father.  My husband who has already been covered in the Blood, has been up and preparing to make his way to work in the City of Philadelphia. 

I enter my son's room, I give a gentle shake making him aware that it is time for him to get up and get ready for school.  He lays there for another five minutes; I go back into his room, call his name again and he slowly proceeds to get out of bed, one leg at a time, dreading every single second it takes him to shake off the sleepys.  He went to bed at his designated hour, but it seems there is not enough sleep in the night.

I go downstairs to prepare his love-filled breakfast of eggs, bagels and a tall glass of water only because he loves H2o so much; no bacon or sausage on the menu though.  We're not fans of meat too much.  I call my sweetheart to tell him that his breakfast is ready; its nice and hot and has been prepared in love to warm and soothe his soul.  He makes his way down to the kitchen table half-dressed.  He is very slow; he's a lot like his dad.  His dad is probably the slowest man on the planet, but he's never ever late for work.  He has a strong work ethic.  I pray that my baby-boy gets that trait from his dad; his father and I do lead by example which is good for our children. 

As B.J. is eating, I am now getting ready to make his lunch so that I can keep him growing big and even stronger than he is already.  He is 15, 6 ft tall and has Osgood Slatter.  My oh my, I'll be glad when he hits to his full size.  He is having major pain with his knees.  His knees hurt, his back aches and he's itching; puberty; it's a tough thing, but thank God it doesn't last forever!

We are just about ready for B.J. to make his way to the bus and of course, you guessed it, I drive him to the bus stop which is a good distance from our home.  Once we are safely in the car, B.J. and I begin to bless the Lord with Scripture; we sit and talk until the bus comes.  Here comes the bus; I kiss B.J., B.J. kisses me and he says, "I love you, Mom; have a good day"!  I repeat his words back to him as he smoothly makes his way safely onto the bus.

I drive back home, pull up into the driveway and I sit for a few minutes to absorb God's glorious majesty. I look for the beautiful Cardinal and Blue Jay that live somewhere in one of the trees in my backyard.  All of a sudden, the Cardinal appears right before my eyes in all his wonder.  I then hop out of the car and in through the kitchen door, I make my way back to my home office; my bedroom.  

I kneel down to pray and commune with God the Father before I begin my work day; I read, study and meditate upon the Word of the Father.  I commit my life to Him and as I accept His plan for my life, I open my laptop to begin working for my the Lord and then for my family.

My day is filled with numerous jobs and endless activities.  I write, I design, I type, sometimes I transcribe.  I help those in need of my help and I lend an ear to become the counselor that my friends need from time-to-time.  Sometimes I think I may have missed my calling because so many call me for advice and then they say I truly inspire them, but I take no credit for being an inspiration to people.  I am a servant of the Lord and I am fulfilling His great commission.

On Mondays, my day consists of emailing reading and responding; on Tuesdays, I write and design and launder the clothes.  On Wednesdays, I update my sites hoping to impact lives around the globe and on Thursdays, I do more writing.  Fridays is filled with miscellaneous tasks.  My daughter is home from college so she frequents my room until she has to go to work either to babysit or waitress.  I adore my 21-year old daughter who honestly thinks she knows more than her 51-year old mother, but she doesn't mean any harm.  Every word that proceeds forth from my mouth, she has an answer for and she thinks she is always right, but she is not disrespectful in her tones, opinions or the feedback she believes I need from her!

She is a baby entrepreneur who wants to shed light by empowering and enlightening teenage girls through unique avenues that she herself has created.  She is a tiger and a cougar.  She met a CFO the other night who looked at me and said, "Your daughter is a gem"!  Don't I know it!

My days are filled with love from God and my family.  He gave me the family and to Him I am ever so grateful.  We are all different, but we are all the same.  We are wealthy; very wealthy; wealthy in love and riches.  We hope to spread our wealth to others to help impact and change lives through all that God has given us.

I've been blessed to have talents and gifts that provided me with my very own home based business.  I am elated.  I am delighted, but more importantly, I am blessed. 

Information - We all need information in addition to wisdom and knowledge in order to have successful home-based careers. Yes, if we're going to achieve and enjoy the sweet taste of success information is paramount to the ins and outs of our businesses.

Information can take us to a completely different level in our businesses - a level we never even knew existed.  This is just one way we're able to obtain wisdom.  Life experiences is also a form of information that leads to our gaining wisdom; wisdom then becomes the knowledge that we need that gives us the power to do incredibly amazing things.  When we're equipped with information we can do just about anything.  If we diligently seek wisdom, we can take that wisdom and apply it to our businesses, which automatically becomes a part of our lives once we've made the decision to pursue a home-based business.

Is there some information you are seeking that perhaps you just can't seem to find?  Maybe its here in our living room or maybe its within the confines of your heart.  Dig deep witihin your soul and see what you find.  The answer lies within you!
