And for something different

2009-01-26T22:55:00.000-08:00

I thought I would share my holiday pictures with you.I have to say it was the worst camping trip Id been on since my honeymoon but thats another story lol.Anyway we traveled over 8 hours to get to a place that was in the middle of no where well it was near the beach and the beach was nice but was a bit of a walk for the kids over hot sand and so was the loo,(outhouse toilet lol) which didnt worry me as the bush will do but I have a 5 yr old princess that just couldnt go the bush like the rest of us. The biteys that attacked werent much fun either,march flys attack regularly and when you get one their relatives decide to come and attack for revenge.But I survived and can laugh about it now tho as you can tell it wasnt a holiday I enjoyed.I managed to escape after 13 days the big boys stayed 3.5 weeks.They managed 4 fish in 3.5 weeks that was pretty sad dont you think?My hubby wasnt impressed.Well even tho I hated the holiday there was some good things that happened.We got to see turtles laying eggs.We got to get a bit of a tan(my legs arent so lily white now) and I got to do a bit of shopping isnt that what all girls need lol.Oh yere after no sleep due to the high humidity we ended up with heavy rain and wind and wet everything.LOL Anyway I hope you enjoy.

Have You Eaten Your Frog Today?

2008-12-10T19:00:00.000-08:00

EWWWW sounds gross aye?Well I thought that as well when I first saw my email.Couldnt resist looking of course coz I am a natural born sticky beak (that is nosey, apparenty sticky beak is what us Aussies say)
Anyway once I read what it meant I got the idea and its so true.
Your frog and my frog that should be eaten first in the day is...................

that job/chore thats on your list the one you hate the most the one you procrastinate over the longest.Its the one you know will bug you till its done.

My frog today was waxing my legs doesn't really hurt but takes a bit of effort to get around to doing it but man does it feel good when you are done.

I can then move on to the smaller frog (more a toad really) is usually my housework.A friendrecently told me that a "Clean house is a sign of a broken Computer".So now you know what my house looks like lol just dont tell my husband or my computer might have an accident
But its such a thankless task especially when you have little children running around.Well thats my excuse and I am sticking to it.

My 3rd frog was getting this post done.Has taken me a couple of weeks to think of what to write about then it hit me right between the eyes today ,I will write about eating that frog may motivate a few of you to get in and do that task you hate the most first get it out of your face and out of your head so you can enjoy the rest of the day.Must admit its now the afternoon and I am only just writing this now so was a slow frog to digest.

If anyone would love to see the Eat your Frog , email me at jbramble38@hotmail.com and I will send it to you its great to see.

Now I am off to get my real work done, no not housework,(are you kidding?lol)the enjoyable one I do each day and I love to do so isnt a frog at all its too good to be a frog and thats advertising CTWT easy to swallow and very tasty to do.And I have some awesome friends I do it with so is much more like a scrumptious dessert.
So I encourage you all to swallow your daily frog first thing and have a great day all day long.
Keep smiling till next time.

There's No Such Thing As Can't

2008-11-23T18:30:00.000-08:00

Well I believe that the saying "I can't" is used for people who are saying "I dont really want to" because if you want something or want to do something bad enough you will always find a way because as we all know anything is possible.The old saying I love to use is "Where theres a will theres a way"!

Why did I decide to start my post this way? Because I see so many people make excuses of why the "cant". I can't afford that.I can't do that its too hard.I not smart enough so I cant My partner doesnt support me I cant do it.I had a rotten childhood I cant do that.I'm not smart I cant do it.Bla bla bla.

Imagine if the person in this story following said I CAN'T where would he be?

A BLIND BOY PAID HIS WAY TO A MASTER'S DEGREE AT NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BY
TAKING NOTES ON CLASS LECTURES IN BRAILLE, TYPING THEM, AND SELLING COPIES TO
CLASSMATES WHO HAD STRONGER EYES BUT WEAK AMBITION.
and then look at the following video's
and tell me that theres such a thing as I cant!

Now is that an "I cant man"? Definatly not.Never quit, never give up ,never say I can't!

This applys to everything in our life.We all have ups and downs but to never quit and to really try you CAN do anything.

I am so lucky to belong to a group of people who are of the "I can" types.We are making a difference to our own lives and to others.Some of us have never done anything online and are learning.They arent sitting there saying I cant they are saying show me how, I can do this let me learn.I can change how my life is how my future will be.

Come and see my team join us and we will show you that you can do anything IF you really and truly want to.

So people lets say "I CAN" lifes too short for "I Cant's".I Can't is an excuse for I dont really want to.The world is your oyster don't waste it if you say "I CAN, YOU WILL"!

Remember

Do what you have always done and get what you have always got!

Where does the time go?

2008-11-15T20:09:00.000-08:00

Its been that long since I was here I nearly forgot my way back.Only joking its just that time goes so fast.Feels like yesterday I was still in school and now I have grandkids around my feet.

So what have I been doing with myself?

Well same old same old as most mums do like the dishes the washing the cleaning ( on occassion)and tidying etc etc

I have also been busy with kids and their dance classes, which thankfully are finally over for the year as we had their concert last night.They were so cute and not one bit worried about being seen by 100s of people.Wish I could be like that.

I have joined a couple of new things just for the fun of it will tell you about them soon.

Mostly what I have been doing, and it goes without saying, is I have been promoting my favourite business CTWT its the best thing I have ever been in and I would love to have more people see what we have and what we do.I have made some great friends since I joined CTWT that we intend to meet up as soon as we all can.Most likely at the convention in Salt Lake City next year.

I want to share a poem (well sad excuse but was fun) about CTWT that I wrote in a moment of boredom.
.
When all our dreams seemed dead.
A thought came to Ricks head.
Lets create a team
And recreate the dream
So CTWT was born
Rick started a fresh new dawn
With people from worldwide
Standing by his side
They knew theyd be in clover
And there poor days would be over
If they stuck together
And got the word out there

So here we are today
Our dreams not far away
With friends and hopes we dream
Coz we are now joined in a team
From all corners of the earth
From USA to Perth
We play and laugh and learn
Big dollars we wll earn

All we do is smile
and advertsie awhile
Keep our spirits up
And slightly run amuck ( thats for all the mischeif makers you know who you are LOL )
Pay it forward to others and help who we can
We will be happy right down to the last man

So Let us not forget
So we dont regret
FOCUS is the key
to our prosperity

Told you it was silly but when boredom strikes you gotta do something.

Anyway check out a few of the new advertsing places I am using at the moment.Am ttesting them out so ask me what I think.

May be of interest maybe not but least you can have a look.

Would love you to leave me a comment,hope its a nice one.

In the meantime keep smiling and stay focused in what you do now but most of all never lose site of your dream.

Scams and Scammers!!

2008-10-29T20:41:00.000-07:00

How do these scammers live with themselves?Really is it a joke to them that people who are in a desperate situation believes them and may invest some of the little cash that they may have in what the scammers are promoting?

I am not too needy but like to make extra dollars just like the next person,I want to be able to help others.
So whats gotten me all fired up?
Well commercebarter is the newest one promising thousands for nothing until you go to withdraw what you think you have earnt then you find out you have to pay $100 first.Does anyone get paid?I doubt it,Sadly I got sucked in BUT least it didnt cost me a cent and if I hear that they are paying I will apologise.LOL

Another scam that I got caught up in (yes I am a slow learner) was with affiliateshares.com.I did lose $50 but thats life but they said I had rotated $over $9000 and could withdraw so I asked for $8000 and left the rest.Whats happened since ? zip zero nuthing at all surprise, surprise! LOL well I am learning.
Lets hope these ones get caught.What I dont get either is why they dont get caught and stopped when valid businesses are closed with no warning by the powers that be and then have to fight there way through court to win back what was taken.I am of course talking about ASD an advertisng company that was really actually paying and was working for thousands.I still have high hopes they will be back better than ever.
I seriously dont get it tho.I am in some great money makers that have,do and will pay so why cant we all just be honest?No ones needs to scam!!

What has worked for me is Ezwealthsolutions am in profit which is what we aim for as online marketers.
In the way of advertising money makers I am in MegaLido and 8dailyforever both pay well and I have recieved money in both and I am very happy with them.
I was (and I suppose still am ) in a cash gifting one which I have done well with I am no longer promoting it as many people dont approve of this type of money making system.

I am also at a social adverting site called QYAO its a weird place to get used to but you actually do make money as you do at First-Zone I have money waiting to be withdrawn in both places they havnt cost me much for the returns.Will I get paid well I believe so ,have heard it does pay out so will let you know.

I will continue to dabble with online opportunities and I will win some and lose some ( I hope not many) but it is fun to do and you meet some interesting people while you do it.

Of course my main online focus that I love and believe in is CTWT I have been fortunate enough to be asked to join this and I really think if people took one good look at it they would also join.Its great to be involved with something that is real has real people and its really a no brainer, isnt hard to do and the benefits you get being involved is tremendous.I hope that you also take a look as this really is too good to miss out on.

Anyway lets hope the scammers are caught or better still scammed themselves so they know its not funny to rip people off .

In the meantime lets keep smiling just because we can and being alive is worth smiling about.

Do You Ever Feel Grateful?

2008-10-27T21:37:00.000-07:00

I know I do and I know I am.

I learnt to be more grateful after watching the dvd The Secret.

Of all the things I took away from it, being grateful for what I have is at the top of the list.There were things in The Secret I couldnt quite agree with but being grateful hit a cord with me.
When you sit back and look at what you have family,friends a home to live in and food to eat no one can or should be any thing but grateful.Many in the world have nothing and live a "lets try to live another day" type existence.
I used to be the type that wished I had more and I still want more but I am grateful for what I have and I know without a doubt what I want in life is coming to me.(thats a subject for another time)

Being a positve person may help me as I am the half cup full type of person and really cant stand negativeness.(ask my hubby the "Im not negative I'm a realist" man lol)

I see so many negative people and they are ones who always seem to be unhappy always picking on others faults and basically having a miserable life.I also notice these negative types seem to be always dwelling on past wrongs and are usually always sick with the newest thing the Drs can find.I really believe these people can change if they just start to see things in a positive light and I always tell people to watch The Secret,be grateful let go of the past and move on.

Anyway the reason I started this post is because I feel so lucky to have what I do have.I have a husband that loves me .Kids and grandkids who are healthy safe and happy.A wonderful sister (and her family )and mum dad and step parents (and brothers from them.)A home decent cars (finally!) and great friends.

My friends range from my oldest who lives not far away and we have kown each other since we were 10 and 11 so close that we even share the same birthday(also shared by my eldest daughter) to my newest online friends (and yes they count coz they are great to talk to and have fun with even online)
I have met theses online friends from when I played poker(pretend money people) and even tho I dont play now we still regularly chat especilly one who I know will be a friend for years to come.I am even trying to match make him so any single girls from /near Kansas(or anywhere lol) let me know lol ( he gunna kill me for that if he reads this lol.)He is a great guy with an awesome sence of humour.
And now I have my CTWT friends who are an awesome fun loving bunch and whom I hope to meet at a CTWT convention (or party) one day in the not so distant future.Watch out guys coz I am coming LOL.
Anyway if you are looking for great friends worldwide and an awesome business plan (especially if you have failed online in the past) I hope you take a look at what we have.There is nothing else like it anywhere.We make a great team and would love to see more people joining us becoming our friend and making there dreams come true.Click here to have a good look.

Well I think thats it for my ramble was a bit slack last 2 days hurt my back and thats my excuse lol didnt have the thought process going ,back pain kept getting in the way.

So will sign off for now may you all keep smiling and dont ever lose your dream .

"Never Look Down At Someone Unless You Are Helping Them Up"

Hey Hey Its Saturday

2008-10-25T00:18:00.001-07:00

Well its Saturday down under anyway.Reminds me of the old show we had on TV back in the 70s and 80s.Will bring back memories to all us Aussie's and who could forget Ozzie Ostrich? LOL.Those were the days.Funny thing I didnt even watch it till it was about to end but heard about it alot at school.Speaking of school I so hope the 80s fashion hairstyles etc etc never come back lol.Who the heck thought of those fashions anyway.How embarassing are all those old pics?LOL least they give my kids a good laugh.

Speaking of fashion I have a love of fashions from the 70s and back I have had a fascination for it for years now and am finally turning that love into a business by hiring fancy dress clothes and authentic vintage out to people.
My first rememberance of loving old clothes and playing dress ups ( no I dont do regular dress ups either LOL)was back when I was about 5 or 6 and we had a dress up box at school there was this one dress I remember a brown netted concoction (and most likely quite ugly If I was to see it now)But I loved it but so did all the other girls (and boys too for all I knew) and so even tho I tried so hard to get it I ony got to wear it once,that I can remember.
Maybe it was that and my little cowgirl suit (gotta love Annie Oakly even had the fake plaits attached to my hat and the tin rocking horse )I had that made me love dressup stuff and maybe it was my mums love of going to Op shops ( opportunity shops full of 2nd hand stuff) But whatever it was I still love it all and have an addiction to op shops now.I think its a better addiction to other things tho as I dont smoke gamble or drink (too often) so I figure I need some addiction(and no my internet addiction doesnt count LOL)

Anyway getting back to my offline business.For many years I have wanted to have a fancy dress hire place and I wss offered to buy someones clothes so now I have a hire business called Wait for it ....
"Lets Play Dress Ups" Cool name aye? well I like it.I am still setting it up and spent most of the day sorting the good stuff from the get rid of that (or what the heck is that )LOL.Must admt I have come across a few treasures I wont be parting with or hiring out like the old beaded bags I found at the bottom of a box and a few vintage dresses.
My grandkids think its great they also have a love of playng dress ups,not sure where they got that from hmm? Anyway wish me luck with it but not too worried as now I have some awesome clothes for any dress up party I get invited too.So its all good.

I sometimes wonder if I am hyperactive I love to be doing something all the time. I am not one to just sit and stare into space I can sit for hours if I have something to read or do as in knit etc but cannot for the life of me just plain old it.I sit alot tho when I am on the computer which is yere ok a bit too much.I am grateful that I came from a stay thin gene pool other wise my butt would be huge by now(well huger) lol.

Ok thats about it for my daily b-rambling on I will see you again soon I hope and if you havent as yet signed my guest book pleae do my team members and friends at CTWT are signing it so its starting to look fuller now.Thanks guys.

Here is my thought of the day just found it and loved it

"Whatever your dream,if you allow it to emerge,you will find the strength to make it real."

Keep smiling and may all your dreams come true.

My New Blogging Life

2008-10-23T22:27:00.000-07:00

Its a beautiful Aussie day(would want to be was freezing cold yesterday!!) and I have decided to delete and remove my previous very much neglected blog and start all over with the resolution that I will add something new at least weekly and I may even surprise myself and get so good that I will blog each day.LOL No promises tho.

I must admit I may have continued to neglect my blog if it hadnt been for my good friend at changingtheworld2gether (thanks Christy) who is teaching all us blogging novices how its done, I would be still procrastinating.My other friends are also doing such a great job I thought hey if ya cant beat them join em.LOL
So here I am having another go.

Well as busy mum I probably spend a bit too much time on my laptop(or should I say my extra appendage lol) the family things its a new growth.My house isnt exactly prestine but we are all happy so thats what counts,

Let me tell you a bit about my family.
I have 4 kids eldest has 4 of her own and they live with me (thats a story that would fit in a novelso wont go there) My eldest daughter has been the lost soul of the family a girl who is a dreamer and is of a poetic nature who just wants to be loved and she is loved and loves us and thats what is important with in families.
My 2nd daugher is 20 and works on the gas mines in North Queensand its a dirty job and she is the only girl working as a drillers offsider there.She loves it but really is glad to get home for her 9 days off and recuperate.She works 12 hr days for 18 days 9 of which are night shift.She bought a house (well paying it off) when she was 18 and is about to make it into a renter.
My next is 18 yr old son he is a health fanatic and loves to body build he also does karate and is about to do his first kick box tournament.He is hoping to get on the mines as well he is a hard worker and loves being outside.
My 13 yr old baby is a son who is about to hit 14 and has been over 6 ft tall for a year now.Its weird to look up at your children and even as the youngest he is the tallest in the family.

My 4 grandkids love em dearly but man its hard work.(my age maybe?)Word of advice to anyone make sure you have a few years between kids its so much easier as I know.

My grandkids are 7,5,nearly 4 and 2 so they are close in age and I seem to be always running after someone.

7yr old is quite grown up at times but when she is tired man can she have some hissy fits.

5yr old is the boss she loves to argue her point and wins when she fights with her older sister.She is a girly girl and would love to be called barbie (shh dont tell her I told you)

The nearly 4 yr old grandson is great on his own but just loves to tease his baby sister(typical boy well taught by his uncles I think) he has escaped the house a couple of times ( was that late last year already?) decided to take his little sister for a walk up the road and onto some (fortunately)disusued railway tracks.Luckily he didnt head the other direction across the highway.Boy that was scary.We now have locks up high on the doors he is older and wiser now as well (we hope)
He is also is a bit of an artist who one day took a bottle of tomato sauce(thats ketchup to any US people)into his bedroom so he could paint the walls the bed and anywhere else he could splash it.He came running out to me with sauce all over from head to toe very proudly announcing TA DA Funny now but at the time I was not a happy granny!

Now the baby who has curly hair and has the curl right in the middle of her forehead( if you know that story thats her) when she is good she is very very good and when she is bad yep you got it Horrid with the capital H.She has glasses as of a month ago.first pair lasted all of 6 hrs befores they were broken.She is now used to them and asks us for her glass (thats how she says it)when she wakes up.

Now my poor hubby I better not neglect him.He hasnt been real well last 2 yrs all sorts of things.Had a couple of seizures last year I thought he was dying the 1st time it happened,(just gotta be so careful what meds you mix coz Drs dont always say)He also has had a bad back for last 25yrs and he feels it each day.He is a good man taking looking after the grandkids in his stride when he could be relaxing more.He is an avid fisherman but at the moment we are a long way from the coast so my goal after I get him retired (by end of the year) is to get him back to the coast and he can get back and do what he loves.(you dont think I want him under my feet every day do you?LOL)there is a method to most of my madness!
Anyway how am I going to retire him that soon?Well I have found CTWT or changingtheworldtogether.Its a great group of people who are teaming up to help each other to grow our buisness and therefore to make all our dreams come true.
I would advise everyone to at least have a look at this and hopefuly you will join in with us as its such an incredible thing to be involved with.I have met great people there from all over the world working towards one goal.Would love to have others join us.

I am in a few money makers that are working (which I will share at a later time) and most are paying well but CTWT is my main focus and what love to do.

Well was that a good enough post for starters?I hope I didnt bore you but if you enjoyed it I will be back so keep an eye out or follow my blog.
You can also follow me at http://www.twitter.com/ I am groovygran .
If you can I would love you to sign my guest book and leave a comment and I will hopefully see you at CTWT
