Sunday's Small Business

Treasured Forever

       Recently I was floating around Facebook, the way that I always do. I found a new business that struck my attention, Treasured Forever. The page offers many great items, along with fun activities, and great conversation.

       When I spoke with the page owner, I realized that she was a wonderful person and very pleasant to talk to. I enjoyed learning more about what led her to the decision to start up her small business. Allison said that she opened her business in 2009, because she found that she loved working in many areas of crafting, although she specializes in the area of costume jewelry.

        When it comes to the prices, she has great prices for the high quality. I could not believe how affordable many of the things that she sold were. I was amazed at the quality of the items that you get for the price. She is a definite must see. Visit her page, just be prepared to fall in love with everything you see.

AND THE WINNER IS:

  SHE’LL BE THE DEATH OF YOU

Cinderella so sweet and fair, Cinderella with her golden hair

She walks in the room and every one can’t help but stare so go ahead and look

 Prince, go ahead if you dare. You should have known you silly Prince,

 You must have seen that anyone that poor who could employ her own fairy could surly be mean.

See the trick is she plays a part, a part she’s mastered just to steal your heart

And when she has it and you’ve fallen for sure that’s when she strikes and there is no cure

She knows how to get you, for in your thoughts she knows how to dwell and it

is all goin down at the strike of twelve. For what you think is a simple trip to

Take back a lost shoe is surly gona be the death of you. For once you find yourself passing

Through her door the life you knew will be no more, because waiting for you with this girl so

Fair is not only two step sisters hungry for blood and wanting to share but a heartless stepmother

Whose taught her daughters how to win you over with just a stare and soon you will see my poor

Prince that the blood that runs through your veins the very blood that holds your Prestigious

Name is what they want and it is theirs to claim.  So as your crown falls to the floor, and your

Lungs draw breath no more, and the last drop is taken in and the last thing you see is Cinderella’s

Evil bloody grin you’ll think, “I should have told my butler not to let her in”

Tuesday's Good Reads

A Hero of Our Times

I recently got the chance to review a good British e-book. One thing that can get confusing for some people is the difference in the forms of English between the US and the UK. The book was very good and had my attention for the very beginning. I did find a few minor typos in the e-book, but overall enjoyed the read. If you can overlook these typos, and you like a good British story, this is a must read.

Have A Terrific Tuesday

A True Hero

Some people look at Superman, Batman, or Ironman for saving the world. These heroes are not real. Today, I have a few people that I could put as who are true heroes, but I want to focus on one in particular. This person has given of herself to so many others. She has turned her own bad situation into a learning experience for others. She has taken the battle she had to find information and resource for her to create "A Gift of Awareness". It is a non-profit that offers information to people with cancer. This woman is Sara Carstensen. She is now moving on to another battle. She is taking on the Florida government for the chance to make medical marijuana legal.  She was recently featured in an article speaking out on this issue, click here to read the article. She found that with her treatments, it was the only way that she was willing to eat anything or to hold down what she did eat. No one should have to suffer or risk jail time to have something that works, and she has proven herself to be a real life hero

Wednesday's Wondering

We have all had those moments when we think or ponder on something, but we chose to just keep thinking about it, even when there are no real easy answers. One of my favorites is contemplating why "The answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42". Okay, truthfully, I am a Douglas Adams fan. 

So today, the wondering for this week is straight out of "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium". Why is there never the same amount of hot dogs as there are hot dog buns, in the packages?
