Enjoying Time off From Work to Work

February 20, 2016

As of late, I haven’t had to call out of work using my FMLA for awhile now however I requested a few days off. This time of year my job is slow so they offer employees time off (without pay), so I am taking some opportunities to look into goals written since last year, 3 years ago and 5 years ago …. maybe not all of that for today but not such a bad idea either.

So by now, you’re probably wondering why I would take off just to live in the past. Actually that is not all that I’ve been doing! I have been trying to move on from working for other companies and seriously needing work that would allow me to be home. During the time using FMLA I spent most of it resting, studying everything and once again, goal planning. Most times I do not follow through because of my health. I don’t feel sorry for myself and do not expect others to either. I am simply giving you truth.

I have been trying to do this for over 10 years. So exploring my goals from 5 years ago may not be such a bad idea.

I write when I am hungry, angry, hurt, tired, stressed, worried; learning just about anything on how to move on from here, break curses from here, hear my own voice/spirit from here … because I can not from there (my full time job).

Home is my real job full of house work! I am attempting to home school two children, balance all human relationships (love, friendship and network), plus establish an independent foundation to depend on my own skills to maintain and prosper.

Often times, its early, no one else is up but me … now, I can hear plenty of trucks and cars and trains moving about outside but not one person in the house, not even my new born grandson! I am sure he will be awake soon for his feeding however now is usually when I am awake. The time is usually around 5:30 am and after meditation

If only I had remembered to steep some wellness tea/herbs for rejuvenation as Queen Afua suggested in her Sacred Woman book. However, I did take an Eleuthero supplement a Siberian herb which help support mental & physical stress. I like this herb only because I feel it the moment it began to work. I feel so alert and calm.

The reality is, I am trying to stop taking blood pressure medicine (sad face) and depend on more natural substances. But there are more changes that need to occur in which I make a point to die to self daily. The more you learn, the more you must let go or your going nowhere.

Consequently, I am normally super amped by 6 am, excited to be off and working from written plans at this very moment!

I take calls from the “do not answer” list because not only I am I investing in my business ventures; I can now afford to “give back” to all I owe as well. If only this could benefit the community….

Anyway, I tackle a few jobs, pay a few bills and answer some phone calls. It’s what I do. I take roughly 400 calls each month, research account information, process payments, troubleshoot, provide technical support and access different sites to research regularly at my day job. Why shouldn’t I do this for myself?

Over the past year I have discovered “How to make money using Pinterest and Facebook” simply by having and adding the right friends with the right agenda such as Boyce Watkins, Frances Cress-Welsing (rest in peace), Dr. Sebi, etc. I have no clue who most of these people are personally but their information in my feed allowed me access to areas I had consulted with the Universe I needed to be productive and become my own boss! There are Boundless Options when it comes to working from home out there, you just have do the research in finding them.

My schedule for the day usually include: Blogging, making calls, answering calls, making payments, schedule for some classes/webinars, check my credit report (for updates on disputes, monthly), apply for jobs that can be done to make money today (previously scheduled), cleaning and teaching. And also, look for jobs that can be completed tomorrow and the next day and the day after that until they start calling me for jobs I have to call to get, which happened almost instantaneously!

Here is the kicker, I have about a dozen people right now lined up to work for me; mostly illustrating and editing! The bottom line is you have to invest in your self or no one else will! All you have to do is discover your niche it will never steer you in the wrong direction.

I am happy to say I work for my self part time in the meantime.
