Doing community things for exposure and renown.
I began to say Yes more often when community people asked me to do things for their organizations. There are moments when I beat myself like a Penitente in disbelief at my over commitment to good works. I built five altares at the Centro Cultural in downtown Tucson last Sunday. They are for the Day...

Even sick people can be productive
I managed to get a few prototypes out to the California company that will reproduce my Alaskan angels and Northern lights nativity scene. It took me almost two years, but I slowly did the research and formed the pieces and mailed them off this week. It was so very difficult to finalize, and the work...

I found Vista Printing online, and I am using them now to increase my
business. I wasn't sure just how to get ahold of the people on the REF USA lists that I had formed. I tried one whole day 'cold calling' and was shot down, stomped upon and miserable. It was kind of funny, which made me later shout at the telephone. "Finished??!??! Are you sure that you wouldn't...

Self Promotion- a simple and inexpensive tool, I use it most.
Big Print for Old Eyes: Last year I volunteered to do anything helpful at the Centro Cultural downtown. I swept away leaves and made signs for our Rio Nuevo exhibit and for the little Christmas store at the back of the building, directing more people to it. This year the director called me,...

What Talented People should do with their Valuable Time.
I see it all over the internet, people making a very good living at selling their brains, their accumulated library of knowledge. It is so much easier and much more lucrative than dancing or painting or planting as fast as humanly possible. Azur, take note. Majroj (disaster preparedness), you, too....

Will Success Be Abuelita's Downfall ??!?!?
Omigosh, a new toolbar which I cannot fully comprehend as yet. Well, here's what happened to me. I began to receive royalty checks in October and began to blogit less, huh? Then, I went to the national nativity collectors' and educators' and artists' convention and made even more money. I returned...
