my writing skills are lacking
I read quite a few blogs and am so impressed with the talent and humor that others portray through their writing. I know we all have our natural talents, and writing is not one of mine. Typing, sure, but not writing!! Many of my thoughts that I put down in writing are choppy, and don't flow very well. Segues just happen without a clear transition. Oh well. I just love writing though, about topics that are of interest to me.Of course, I love reading even more. What are some things that are of interest to me? If you know me you probably already know the answer to that one!1. Animals. I love animals, and volunteer with MN Boxer Rescue. I have 2 beloved boxers and 1 cat. I had another cat, Gonerbee, but he is gone now, almost 2 years and I miss him so much. We have a fish that is sick. Has been his whole life but I keep putting miracle II neutralizer in his water and he is still alive. I think he is paralyzed on one side of his body, and has a huge growth in his chest. We have had him for almost two years. If I lived on a farm I would want to only have animals as pets (or chickens that lay eggs, for example). I LOVED horses growing up, and still do. My dogs are my babies. My cat is my princess. And yes, I do talk baby talk to them (how embarrassing!!)2. Natural health. This is a huge fun topic for me, because I started learning about natural health and alternative medicine and herbs and homeopathy over 20 years ago, when I was still a teenager. My mom died of cancer when I was a baby, and there are certain cancers that run in the family, genetically. Since she was battling cancer when she was pregnant with me, I didn't get the colostrum, mothers milk, etc to boost my immune system when I was born. I was formula fed. I also was exposed to chemicals in utero. Those issues started me on a quest for natural healthy living. I have created Purify Your Body in 2004 and started selling my detox foot pads, and along the way have added a few more products I truly believe in. I also try to avoid chemicals and processed foods. But that is nearly impossible. In my blog I write a lot about different health advice that I get from some other blogs I read. Some I agree with, others I don't know, and a few I don't agree with (due to my own experiences). 3. Gardening. I am still fairly new to gardening -- especially organic gardening, but I am learning and having a blast. I feel so good when I am able to pick my bounty and eat it. That is one of the best feelings in the world. And I love to work in the garden, have my dogs lounging around next to me.4. Emergency preparedness. This is also a fairly new hobby for me. But I strongly encourage everyone to be prepared -- have at least a 72 hour kit within reach at home, if you are ordered to evacuate due to natural disaster or heaven forbid, man-made disaster! And, always have clean water stored along with a full pantry. 5. Reading. I love to read. Can't put a book down!! I currently love murder mysteries and go through 3-4 novels a week, AND still read my scriptures every night!6. Marketing. This is what I do for my day job, and whenever I talk to someone who has their own business, my mouth cannot stay shut!! I talk about marketing and then somehow agree to help them with their marketing plan or website. That is fine. Hopefully one day I can do this as a strong side business. I already have the company name: Lazy Beaches Marketing. When we move to somewhere warm, and retire (although we will still be young) I plan on actually promoting this more, and getting maybe a dozen or so clients. I can do their social marketing strategies, SEO, and promotions. It will be fun.7. My God. I am a very religious person, and really enjoy going to church and trying to stay on the straight and narrow. My sisters and I recently started a company selling christian-themed apparel, mostly tee-shirts but we will be branching off soon to include other apparel items. We hope for a July launch date. The name of the company is Faith, Hope, Chari-tees. (get it, Charitees -like tee shirts -- vs. Charity). Our Christian t-shirts are so cute! Once we do launch I will be adding some images of our shirts for sale here. This is so much fun, and providing humor to go with some great gospel sayings makes me smile!I of course love my man, but he isn't really a hobby... maybe a lifestyle choice though. HAHA!! My family is important to me, too, but again, not a hobby.So that is me, in essence.Detox Your Body with
