I've been a little off and on with doing my marketing lately, however, this week I've gotten the juices going again! Do you ever find that your motives are way off? Do you ever find your self being jealous of others, thinking too much of yourself, or comparing yourself to others? I got stuck in this for a while. Its been a disaster. But I've found a way to circumvent the whole self esteem

Many of us hear and read these words on a regular basis. Maybe this phrase brings to mind dollar signs and bathrobes. Or do you dream of being out from under the iron rule of a demanding employer? Yes, sleep in, do what YOU want to do, stop working so hard! It seems like a worn out phrase, almost a cliche'. But have we really thought about the meaning of "Be Your Own Boss?" The reality of

I always thought folks were silly for thinking of Christmas before December. Thanks to my darling 17 month old nephew, I have thoroughly changed my mind. I remember Christmas time when I was a kid. I couldn't WAIT until Christmas morning. At night, I would toss and turn wishing it was time to open the presents. I would wonder if I could hear the reindeer flying through the sky, and how Santa

As I go along, mixing up life, the work and the play, sometimes it becomes work...just because it takes work to stay focused. The World Wide Web is so wide, I could stay sidetracked forever. But, I find that a little fun keeps my spirits up, refreshes me for the next mountain to climb (or go around again hehe). So, I'll close my mouth and introduce to you this really neat game I found.

I am outright voting for Bush. He's someone I trust. He is a real person and truly cares about doing what is right. I beleive that his faith in God is a reality, not some statement meant purely to "impress" people. He believes in standing up for what is truly right, and isn't afraid to say what he believes. Furthermore, I trust the Vice President. The main reason he does lay low is

For the last seven or eight years, I didn't do Halloween. But, this year, we are going to pass out candy! I think I will carve a pumpkin and fire up candle or two. It will be a lot of fun. I don't have any kids to dress up, but my nephew is going to dress up like a puppy dog. He is about sixteen months old. So, I'm going to the store to find some really cool candy, like Hershey's almond

Yesterday was great. At least 3/4 of it. I went back to work at my part time job after two weeks off. Everyone was so happy to see me back, and I was really glad to see them too! I really didn't have a lot of catching up to do, thanks to the dedicated social workers and case managers that I work with. And then the evening fell apart. Three crappy things happened, but I'll tell you the worst of

Let's take an adventure into new territory. New to me at least. I often search ebay for cheap advertising deals. Often I find a lot of auctions for traffic and fewer auctions for text links or text ads. But, rarely available are the auctions for radio or television advertising. So, I was very excited to stumble upon a few interesting opportunities. I bid and won an auction for radio advertising

Sorry folks, I couldn't wait for my readers to guess the Movie Trivia! And I am going mad (hahah) over those darn hammers. I still can't figure out the hammers. But I'll have to go looking some more, unless you guys and gals can clue me in. But, here's a link to a discussion on the interpretation of this movie. I found it to be very interesting.

Remember those theories I was talking about? Let me define "insides" for you. I mean your mind set, your world view, your self image, your wants, desires, and beliefs. Your insides DO show in everything produced by you. And if you ever say you aren't productive, you must be confused. Every human produces something 24 hours a day! (LOL besides women producing babies!) I mean, your insides

My dear husband (DH hereafter) and I rented an old movie that I had never seen before. I heard things about this movie that made me not want to watch it. For example "There is hardly any talking in it." How about this comment? "It isn't normal!" So, I began to watch with mucn trepidation. Of course, Dale, my DH, had seen it before and only laughed. All these symbols caused several gut reactions.

Today, through the comments of some friends I decided to catch up with the Jones'! I always wanted to somehow share some of the thoughts that go through my busy mind. So here I am, Melanie Roum. I wear a TON of hats, and plan to write about all kinds of things. But, I think the main focus of this blog will be on Network Marketing and doing business on the internet. For once, my own ideas and
