Guess what, I have a happy news! My business sort of thing of lying on the beach under the palm tree is coming true… Well, not exactly… Sort of… The point is I don’t know if I was sleeping, or maybe cooking, or maybe playing with my kids… I don’t know exactly when in time – but my drawings sold again. Yupieee!! I didn’t make much, but I didn’t do much either. As I said, I don’t know when it happened, but it did. Here are my lucky drawings:

I must admit, I was a bit busy. I didn’t draw lately. I was busy with moving. And… busy with something else – something very exciting, but I am going to write about that later. You have to wait. It’s an absolute hit. Anyway, one of my drawings sold three times in a row!
I guess, I better go get that pen and tablet on as quickly as possible, and stop procrastinating!

Early in 2009 I stumbled upon something called an affiliate marketing, in simple words – one of the many ways leading to making money online. Year later I am on the quest to make that happen. I know, seems like everyone is trying to do the same thing. As the economy falls more and more people is searching for ways to make some extra money. And the best scenario is if you can do it from the quietness of your home. Why?
My answer to that question is quite simple – I want time with my family. It is more precious for me than talking to strangers at work, hearing every day about what their dogs did, what they have for lunch today, or solving their problems. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t care. I do. But how often when you eat lunch, can you hear the same story about Jackie’s dog’s lump that grew somewhere on his body and following after that costly doctor’s visits? You bet the person sitting next to you had the same experience or similar with her dog, so she shares that and for few weeks the lunch room is full of pet stories. Some funny, some completely gross. And there you are, sitting and eating your lunch, wishing that they stop talking about it.
That was my workplace. “Was” because I became a full time blogger, freelancer, writer.
And it still requires lot of work. I do several projects at the time, spending at least few hours everyday working. If I don’t, that’s ok, but it gets me a little bit away from my goal. I wake up every morning and I start working. Routine really pays off. After few weeks, I’ve noticed I started to feel comfortable, it became something I looked forward to it. The best thing though is that I can watch my daughter playing, or I can choose to have a break and play with her. That’s the powerful strength behind my motivation. Motivation is something you need desperately when you go for a few months without any income, wondering if it ever comes, or what if it never does (?!) I made peace with that risk though – I decided I will do it for one whole year, but I will do it good.
No matter what. I’ll wait and see. I mean… I’ll WORK and see. Now, that’s better.

Gosh, here I am… truly desperate housewife… ( realistically when I look at it – I am really desperate! hahaha ) Anyway, stay tuned to hear my story and have yourself a really really wonderful day!
