money is good

Last wednesday I thought to myself about how I could use some extra money.so Idecided to use some of my own advice . I told myself that I have various methods of income coming to me right now, unexpected checks, cash, a winning scratch ticket,or just any side job that I could create. Well, a couple of weeks earlier I had posted a flyer for any side jobs I could do after my regular job. Thursday night I received a call from a small motel down the road from me and needed 12 storm doors replaced. They had the new ones there I just had to install them. I did the install over the weekend and made 300 dollars. Pretty cool.

Its clobbering time!

At my job there are so many negative people its not funny. Especially two in general. And what they do is rip on each other to me while the other one is not looking. This has gone on for almost a year. It has been somewhat draining.Today I am taking a stand and letting them both know that I am no longer their sounding board.NO more I said, no more! I'm sure this will cause some tension, but I don't need their bad energy anymore. Learning to live with Passion! Steve

A year later

Well, its a year later from my last post and am in a lot better position. I have a job, roof over my head and the bills are getting paid. Its been sheer will to get even to this point, Even as I just say that I realize where my focus is and that is, just to get by. So NEW focus, I want more than to {just get by), I am ready to have more in my life, more money, more happiness, whatever life can give me. I am going for it. Later when your legs are straighter. Steve

The new attitude

I've been barreling through most of my life with a pretty positive attitude. But for the past 7 years life has thrown quite a few punches my way. Failed businesses, unexpected deaths, unseen circumstances or whatever, life has taken its toll on me or what I feel has happened to me. Every single person out there has a perception of what they think life is and wonder is this supposed to be my life? I actually know deep down that my life I picked, was involuntary. What I mean by that is I didn't conciously choose my life path. We are all shaped environmentally from our past,belief systems,who were we around. I've one of those OCD people that read up on everything there is to know about a particular subject. For me thats why do we do the things we do. Psychology,motivations,leaders,higher learnings, I will not say I am a guru in any way , but I do have a lot of info in me. And I believe for me thats been a big part of my problem in life. Read and gather information,and never apply it. Well that has all changed. My first action step was already taken by starting this blog and throwing my life out there. I always have wanted to do this and never did due to fear of being looked down on because of how I let my life get this way especially my finances. But now I realize what I am here to do is help others with my spirit and faith to help others through their hard times. From here on, you can rely on me for a source of inspiration. Steve

Ready for a new me

Hiedi Ho there neighbors and neighborettes, my name is steve. Welcome to my blog!
A brief history, i'm 47 years old, living with my wife and daughter in Pewaukee Wisconsin. I've been diagnosed with a ton of ailments that have not only slowed me down physically but emotionally as well. A form of trigeminal neuralgia, herniated disc in my neck that requires surgery, tinnitus(constant ringing in the ears 24/7),degenerative arthritis,lesions found in my brain, the biggest one found in a bad spot,excema, overweight, sciatic nerve problems in my right leg, and my vision has been rapidly deteriorating.
Economically finances are a disaster. seven thousand dollars behind in rent, five thousand dollars in past due child support. You would of thought I would of been kicked out of my house right now. But my landlord believes in me enough that I can turn this whole thing around. My career has been floorcovering for over 20 years. Because of my health has been going downhill, I haven't been able to do the job I used to do.I'ved moved several times over the last 6 1/2 years and have not shown my wife and daughter a very stable environment.
So heres the scoop, I made this all happen,I accept full responsibility for my situation. Somehow I conciously or unconciously I put myself here.
Putting the word out there will make me accountable. I do want to change my life for me and my family. I do not want sympathy. If anybody chooses to help,i've got a PayPal button on this page, but my intentions are to turn my life around as quickly as possible finances, health,spiritual,family.
I am sure there are a ton of people out there in the same boat as I am and even worse thats why your sympathy is not needed. Your words of encouragement, say hi to me,even if you have problems, I will try to help you out I am a great problem solver for other people. If I can show you I can turn things around and you benefit from it. Believe it or not, that makes me happy. So please let me know if I have helped you in any way.
