Updates – Travels and Dream Job

We are in Arizona. Mesa, actually, and staying with our very good friend Michael. It’s been relaxing and we have no “agenda”. Probably won’t as long as we’re here except to enjoy our visit. I took this picture on a trip in September. The desert is very beautiful.

I can say with some assurance that I did not win the Dream Job contest. Not that any notification has been issued – it’s just that the semi-finalists were to be interviewed in December and December has come and gone with no notice of any sort. I checked the website which has a statement that there were thousands of entries. I take considerable comfort in that. I sure would have liked that shiny new computer prize. A computer of my very own that I wouldn’t have to share. I’ll just have to earn it, I guess. Nothing wrong with that. Earning it will make it more special. Right?

In any case, I’m working diligently on my own. I am determined. I have zeroed in on a domain name and I know where I’ll register it. Then I might just create another blog. I might not even need a website. There are so many great blogs that are making a difference in lots of ways and that actually earn money.

It’s going to take a concentrated effort on my part. I really should be working on this several hours a day. Just realizing that is a big step forward. On the other hand, it’s more difficult because we’re traveling. Here’s the thing…I want to do this because I want a business. But I want a business that I can do anywhere I am. Just because it’s not off the ground is no excuse for not working on it. I am taking baby steps, here. Putting one foot in front of the other. No excuses.
