The Road of Lupus

Life is full of obstacles

Some are good ones and others are not

Living with lupus used to be the worst

But I’ve learned that it has opened some doors

I learned that I love to write

and write and write as much as breath

It’s taught me to slow down even when I’m not compliant

Life with lupus isn’t  what I intended

But I’ve learned to cope with my life

Lupus isn’t an easy life.

Pursuing a Teaching Degree

No matter whether you’re fresh out of high school or an older adult an education is important. Pursing a degree can open up new windows. A teaching degree is one way to expand your education. Teachers can pursue a fellowship that offers a 30,000 to pay for your master’s degree. A teaching degree allows you to reach people and give them the same gift of learning.

We don’t get any younger so there’s nothing wrong with starting an education whether you’re 18 or 76. Being human were all life time learners so a Woodrow Wilson fellowship will open new many doors. A teaching fellowship offers a chance to teach others and watch experienced teachers in action.  You can take what you learn in your teaching fellowship to your own classroom. Several school districts offer  teaching jobs in columbus ohio offer clinical experiences for aspiring teachers in poverty stricken and rural areas.

The clinical rotation in the classroom allows you to learn how to deal with a wide range of personalities. Once you’ve finished the fellowship you’ll have a teacher’s certification. Getting a degree is teaching is something that you’ll be able to grow on while laying down your own roots in teaching.

How to Read your Palm by doing a Palm Reading

Do you want to know your future? Everyone’s wanted to know at least once in their life. I’m no different, but what scares is hearing about bad things. My Mom went to a tarot card reader once and the reader was accurate about several things. They things came true several years later. She didn’t read your palm since it was a tarot card read. Having a palm reading is something I’ve been interested in, but I’ve never had one done. The reader predicted my pregnancy, daughter’s birth, and several other things. My mom still talks about the reading sometimes.

Lupus is My Life Poem

Living with lupus is full of ups and downs.

I’ve learned their are two ways to look at it.

Good and Bad……

I’d love to say that it’s easy…..

But it’s not………

Each day is a battle to think positive…..

I still have my negative days, but I refuse to give in…..

I still spend hours or days on the sofa dealing with lupus and fibromyalgia…

But I have more control over things…..

I’m more aware of what’s going on inside…..

I’m better prepared for lupus’ ups and downs…..

So I’m ready for the good and bad days……

Lupus may be my life, but it’s only part of my life….

Not running my life anymore……..

How is your life with lupus or fibromyaliga doing??

Refreshing Water from a Bottleless Water Cooler

Most people don’t like the taste of water, but we cannot live without it. Drinking from the tap in my town isn’t possible, the water tastes foul. Most people in my small town have water delivered or they pick up bottle water at the store. Our water  is delivered twice a month from a spring water company. I love the water, but I hate the hideous water bottle colors and they take up a lot of room. I wish the same refreshing bottle water came out my tap. Businesses can have a bottleless water cooler that dispenses hot and cold water that is similar to the typical water cooler without the need for storing water bottles. They come in both counter top and free standing in a variety of sizes to meet your employee’s needs. The water coolers come in cold/hot water, ice, and room temperature water. Drinking ice cold water is great for employees and clients at your business. Everyone will enjoy seeing your water cooler on the hot summer days and cold winter days. Leave out some tea bags and hot cocoa for the winter and some drink mixes for the summer. It’s a great way to keep your customers happy while they wait for you

Recycle Reuse for Cell Phones

Did you know old cell phones equal cash? If you’re like me you’ve got several lying in drawers. Once I upgraded my phone I intended to recycle them, but I never got around to it. So it lies in my drawer and collects dust.  Little did I know, my cell phone could make me some cash. sell cell phone reminds me of search engine, except it finds the prices companies are paying for old cell phones. Once you’ve found the highest prices to recycle your phone you send it in. Some of the companies will pay for your shipping too. Sometimes broken phones are worth cash too. I’ve got three or four of them lying around. I looked up the phone that I have multiples of and it’s worth eighteen dollars. I was pleasantly surprised since the phone is several years old. Now, I’m glad I didn’t throw my phone into a recycling box at the cell phone company. Since a lot of the companies are going green people are doing it too. I am more conscious of things I use and I try to reuse.  So you’re cell phone is another way to add dollar signs to your piggy bank.

As a kid, I enjoyed dressing up anytime I could for a good dress up party.  I loved dressing  up as a witch for Halloween ugly warts and all.  I did this for five years. My mom tried and tried to get me to be something else.  I love going to Costume Stores.  But I didn’t want to be anything else. I was always the first one to dress up in a Plus Size Costumes .  I haven’t dressed up in a long time, but it would be fun to dress up one more time.  I would love to dress up as a butterfly with beautiful glitter purple wings.

Are You Having a Boy or a Girl?

Are you excited about having a baby? Most women once they find out they are pregnant cannot wait to find out what the baby is they are carrying.
