So it seems as if I am getting quite tech-ie (not trekkie) these days! (ok, well...I am somewhat of a "trekkie", but that's another issue). I have been hiring myself out as a P.C. Consultant (sorry guys, I'm not a MAC girl...at least not yet); it's probably time to print myself some business cards for this new job of mine...by the way, I have business cards for EVERYTHING.
I highly recommend that everyone have at least one type of business card for themselves, even if they aren't in "business" for anything. I helped a lady the other day get "free" business cards for herself (she paid $5.+some cents for shipping)...she entitled herself as a "Domestic Goddess", which I thought was brilliant.
I have thought that the job of mother and/or home-maker is mostly underrated in our society. I have even been considering putting this MONUMENTAL task of being a mother (and nursing for 2 and-a-half years) on my resume. I feel this profession really does reflect a lot as far as my character is concerned; I mean, if I can somewhat successfully manage a healthy-lifestyle household, and baby/toddler twins, then I must be worth hiring at some well-paying job, right? How is it not customary for people to put their stay-at-home, multitasking, hyper-managing, super-cleaning, wholesome-loving, FULL-TIME Mom/Dad job on a resume? This is one reason I STILL after 2 months, have not completed my resume...it looks oddly blank and missing large pieces of myself without this crucial information. [wondering if anyone else out there has been so bold as to "break the status-quo" and put this (seriously) in their resume] A part of me really wants to do this.
However, I seem to be racking up the home-based income ideas pretty well, so I may not need to finish my resume after all. It would be nice to have a resume on hand, though if for no-one other than myself, to remind me all of the things I have accomplished in the past (will soon be 32) years. It feels good to remember all that you are capable of, and where your skills lie. Which brings me back to my business card idea...I am always so excited to exchange business cards with people; I am just as excited to see what other people's cards are like, as I am to share with them my own. So many people don't have a card for themselves...oh, and I SO wish they all did! I want to know who you are, what statements you make about yourself, how you are special and set yourself apart from others; I almost feel like business-card-making is a form of "self-cheerleading"...we all could use a bit more of that. What do you do WELL...I really want to know!?
So, on a more "superfood" related topic...Dominic has been making chocolate for us today; I am sure he'll share it with friends and family, but this is SUCH a HUGE deal! He has not made any chocolate since we were last in production as Raw/Organic/Vegan "Love-N-Cacao" (the last time was Late Jan./Early Feb. of this year), so to break out the chocolate molds was quite a celebratory event. I think he will be manufacturing cacao products again in the not-too-distant future. Depending on circumstances...the right moment and situation will eventually present itself. Until then, at least we know now that he can get in our home kitchen every once in a while to whip up (taking a few hours of course) a batch of yummy molded cacao bars.
