Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and I want to take this time to tell you how thankful I am for each and every one of you. I’m thankful for all of the authors on the directory and I’m also thankful for all of the readers and subscribers. Without all of you, I wouldn’t have such a successful article directory.

We’re having lunch with my in-laws and dinner with my family. We’ll have all the fixins including turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, and so much more. One of the reasons this holiday is my favorite is because of the food. I’m also thankful for God being in my life and of course my family.

Thanksgiving day is a great time to be with family while you’re preparing the meal. You talk, chat, and catch up while creating a wonderful meal everyone will enjoy. Entertaining the kids can be the hard part though. Check out our Thanksgiving color sheets. (http://bit.ly/aEJCMJ)

I’m off to prepare the appetizers for lunch tomorrow. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!

I’m reading a book right now that has already changed my life and I know the deeper into the book I get, the more changes I’m going to see. I’m actually doing a book review later in the month that I’ll share with you. So I’m not going to go into a lot of detail on this.

The name of the book is “Money Cometh – To the Body of Christ” and it’s been awesome so far. I’ve just finished the first chapter and already I’ve experienced a change. I can’t imagine how much of a change I’ll see when I finish it.

I’m thankful that I’m reading this book and that I’m learning how to make sure the “money cometh” and just when I need it. I’m also thankful that my mom gave it to us. She is always wanting to make sure we’re doing ok and that we’re in line with what God wants us to do and that we know how to do it correctly. This book is going to make it happen.

So I must say, thanks mom! I love you and I’m so glad that God gave me to you so you could take care of me.

As usual I have so many things to be thankful for in my life. I’m so blessed to have the family and friends I have in my life and I wouldn’t know what to do without them. They help me through hard times and they help me celebrate when I have successes.

Today I want to thank my husband Kevin. If it weren’t for him believing in me and helping me handle things I wouldn’t be where I am today. I wouldn’t be the owner of a successful Virtual Assistant and Ghostwriting business. If it weren’t for him I would have given up shortly after I started. There were other times I would have thrown in the towel, but he talked me through it and I continued on.

If it weren’t for him we wouldn’t have two wonderful boys that I love dearly and enjoy being with. I love watching them play sports and doing other things they enjoy like fishing and all around being goofy.

Kevey, I’m so thankful I met you 21 years ago. You know the story and how funny it was and for that I’m thankful as well. If it weren’t for your quick wit and smart thinking we wouldn’t be together. HaHaHa I’m so glad you said what you said and that we’re together today. We’ve beat the odds and overcome challenge that many others wouldn’t have, but God meant for us to be together to the end.

So today I want to say thank you Kevey. Thank you for everything. I love you!!

Today is Thankful Thursday and I’m thankful for my online friends. I have met so many people along the way since I came online in 2005. It’s nice to know you have people out there willing to help you when they can. It’s also nice to know they’ll protect you when they see something that’s wrong.

So many times friends are only there when they need something, but a true friend is there no matter what goes on and what you need. A true friend will tell you the truth even when it can be hurtful or damaging to your business or you personally.

I want to say thank you to all my online friends. I appreciate your kind words and your help. I appreciate you and I hope we can continue to be friends for a long time to come.

I was sitting at the dentist office on Tuesday of this week and I’ll tell you what… I’m very thankful for my laptop. While I was not able to get online while I was there, I did have the ability to use the word processing document and get a bunch of my blog posts written for August.

What a blessing it is to have those written. Now all I have to do is schedule them all, but that doesn’t take hardly any time at all compared to the actual writing of them. It makes me wonder how we managed to run our home businesses before laptops came along. Or better yet, how did we function before computers came along. LOL

When man created the laptop he had an awesome product and I bet they NEVER knew how popular they would be. I think it’s getting to a point where every household has a computer and internet services, but I think it’s also coming to a point where every household would rather have a laptop than a desktop. Even though laptops are small, USB ports give you the ability to hook up a monitor, a mouse, and even a keyboard if you need to.

So all I can say is thank you to the creator of the computer. Otherwise I’d be bored at the dentist office and I’d be behind in my posts. LOL

An Inspirational Poem
Be Thankful
By Author Unknown

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.
Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge, because it will build your strength and character.
Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons.
Be thankful when you’re tired and weary,
because it means you’ve made a difference.

It’s easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who
are also thankful for the setbacks.
Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings.

As always when Thankful Thursday comes along I have so many things I’m thankful for that I’m not sure where to begin or what to talk about. LOL Have you ever had that problem?

Today, I want to thank my boys for all they do. My boys care for their family so much and it shows with that they do for both me and my husband among others as well. They continually put us before them just as we do for them. It’s awesome to see a 12 and 15 year do this and I’m so thankful that I can say my boys do this as so many children would never dream of doing this for their parents.

As you know Father’s Day was last Sunday and my boys thought long and hard about what they wanted to get their dad. It’s such a hard decision to make, but I’m once again thankful they want to be a part of the decision making process rather than just leaving it to me to do.

The main thing we did was go fishing for the weekend. All three of them had a great time together. It started out on Thursday morning and didn’t end until Sunday afternoon. It was awesome and I’m thankful my husband was willing to take them even though he won’t eat the fish they caught.

Last night we picked up the final part of my husband’s Father’s Day gift. It’s a table he’s going to use for his new hobby which is stain glass. He’s very excited about it and while it was a hard decision to make, the boys and I are happy this is what we decided to do. We all agree he will get good use out of the table and he’ll enjoy it as well.

So there you have it. Now you know what I’m thankful for today. What are you thankful for on this wonderful summer day?

It’s been a long and crazy week. Coming back from vacation is hard to do, but it’s so nice to get away for a while. I was prepared for the time I would be gone, but I didn’t prepare myself for the days after I came back. Lesson learned I guess. LOL

I’m thankful for my family. They encouraged me to work the long hours so I was able to take four days off. Once we started our vacation they continued to remind me we were on vacation and I was not supposed to work. While they may not know they did this, they did and I was so thankful that I did it. It’s the first time in a long time that I’ve actually taken the time off.

If it’s been a while since you’ve actually taken time off to be with your family, you need to make it happen. Once you do it you’ll see how wonderful it is and you’ll find a way to do it more often. Once I figured it out I was so thankful that my family encouraged me to make it happen.

Today is Thankful Thursday and I have so many things to be thankful for this week. It’s been a week to say the least. Because of everything going on I’m thankful for my family and God. Without all of them I wouldn’t be able to get through it like I do.

Without going into a lot of detail, I’ll just tell you that my husband is looking for a new job, Josh has a basketball tournament going on this week, and Chris is driving all the time. I certainly would not be able to get through all of this if it weren’t for patience, control, and God. I’d be falling apart without those things.

If you’ve ever been in a situation like this, you know exactly what I’m going through. I’m not worrying about any of this because God will get me through anything when I ask. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” This is my Bible verse of the year and it’s one I say all the time.

So this week, I’m thankful for my family and God. Without you, I would be nothing!

Thursday is one of my favorite days because I love the Thankful Thursday category on our blog. It gives me an opportunity to share with you what I’m thankful for during the week.

This week I’m thankful for the angels that protected my sister’s brother-in-law and sister-in-law. They were involved in a car accident on Friday of last week and both of them are going to be ok.

The brother-in-law was driving and lost control of his vehicle on wet roads. He crossed into the oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle. He received minor injuries, but his sister has some major problems and will go through months of rehab to get herself back to normal again.

I’m thankful she is going to be ok because I know she is loved by a lot of people. Her mom and dad will have a long road ahead of them, but they’ll get through it because they have a lot of people standing by them and they will help them get through it.

I pray right now that this family along with my sister’s family are able to stand strong and get through this rough time in their lives. I also pray that my sister’s sister-in-law is able to stand strong and work her way through this time in her life.

Blessings,
