Whenever I feel afraid of work and myplace in it...I read this.

Martha Graham told this to Agnes DeMille in a letter- “There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all Time, this expression is unique.

Invested some venture capital today, Kool-Aid packets and sugar and time.

I saw some boys at the apartments where the immigrant families are living up the road. Two were selling lemonade Kool Aid on the corner. I bought a glass and told them that I would return with some signs later. I painted two signs for major traffic flow north and south, they had hand held for east... Sign in to see full entry.

Craig Ferguson, national t.v. host highlights our coffee mugs, cool !

The artist who made the mug, Jack Graham, has a whole line of rattlesnake cups, mugs, serving trays, salt and pepper shakers, etc.for the *rugged type*. Jo, at our import offices, sent me this video of Craig Ferguson receiving a mug as a gift. Good business for us, huh?? Free ads, nationally!! Watch... Sign in to see full entry.

Funny things start happening as you change your life.

I believe that I have heard about Chinese kids who will FARM your video game for you, play it to give you more this or that, while you are at work or whatever, you pay them to farm for you. So, now I have been offered this essentially "farming tool" for my newly uploaded videos on youtube. INCREASE... Sign in to see full entry.

Added one page to my website, but three videos on it and 160 photos or so.

Love learning to use Picasa and youtube for advertising purposes. What a great idea. Here is the one page. Everyone with a business should be doing this. Tour of the store, products, educational, interviewing artists, etc. And the best part is that it is free. I am hoping to make my website smaller... Sign in to see full entry.

Today I learned how to use Picasa to make a video for youtube.com

I called my sister in Guadalajara, just before she went to bed and she quickly gave me steps to make and upload the video, select the music and step away from the computer, c'est fini. Watch it here, my day selling in the park, one woman show at Tohono Chul Park here in Tucson. Sign in to see full entry.

I mailed out my constantcontact newsletter today.

It took forever to get the importers to release their email addresses to me and then forever to get a final draft okay, which never did arrive. So, I mailed it off anyway. I wonder what the response will be or if the recipients will actually get it and not have it bounced back to me as my email... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

They tell you that you can make millions doing this or that and you think, "Well, I sure would like to, but...." I'm not out to make millions, just considering this a class on how to increase my income, as I am too poor to blog about poverty, it just IS my life. So, here goes and What Do I Know? Not much, so let's all watch me stumble and fall and get back up and learn and see just what grade I get at the end of this course, okay?
