My Business and College Journey
Going to College and starting my own Business
Today I am taking big steps toward my future career, I am wanting to take you on a positive trip showing you how I am working toward my goal and that having positivity in your life can make wonderful things happen. I am now in college and have started my own business. I have been working toward the goal of starting my own business for many years now I just never knew what that business would be, now I know exactly what business I want to go into. That business is the Wedding Officiating business. I have started this business all on my own with no outside help. This business has been a passion that I never knew I had, it only came up when my best friend got married. I then started thinking about getting Ordained which I finally did a few months ago, but I never thought I would start a business surrounding that. About a month after I got my Ordained Certificate my job I was working at was bought and I was told that stuff was going to be changing. The person who bought the store was wanting everyone to reapply and call for an interview. After much thought, I decided to say goodbye to that job and move forward in my life I wanted to go back to school and get into Wedding Officiating. It took me quite a few weeks to decide to go on with starting my business, I had no idea where to start. I finally decided that the best place to start was by getting my name out there, so I made a Facebook page for it. But I felt that was not enough, so I decided to build a website. I still didn’t feel like that was enough either so I went and order some business cards. Now I have everything for my business. I am now enrolled in a business school as well. I was very negative for most of my life, but this past year I have realized that negativity gets you nothing but bad luck and everything falling apart and going wrong. Things have turned around for me finally things are going my way and I feel it is because I have learned to always have a positive attitude and a positive outlook on things. If you enter any situations with negativity or negative attitude things will not go the way you want. I have been so happy with the way my life has turned around. Even though I have yet to actually have any customers I still look at this new beginning with a positive attitude and am positive that I will be involved in many weddings. It is not always what people want but you have to look at all situations with positive outcomes otherwise you set yourself up to fail. I honestly can’t wait for my business to pick up and people to start talking about my business. I have also stated that I am in business school too, I am looking to expand things and I feel that a business degree could help me with that. I will be writing again to keep you all updated about my business and schooling. I am so excited to start this path and am so excited to share this with all of you. I want to thank all of you for reading my stuff because all of the money I make from my posts goes toward my schooling and business. This is going to be an amazing journey and I can’t wait to see where it leads and again thank you.

Mythical Creatures
USA mythical creatures that might be real… part three. Number one is Massachusetts Dover Demon. The Dover Demon is said to have rosy orange skin with a big head on a stick-like body, it walks on all four and has glowing eyes. It can fuse with rocks, it is clear that it is either an alien or an escaped science experiment. This is one of the only creatures to have a shade of eye shadow named after it. Number two is the Michigan Dogman. In 1887 two lumberjacks chased a dog into a corner and pocked it with a stick which then stood up on its hind legs showing that it had to be some kind of dog-man. The dogman was peaceful but the woodsmen ran in terror just the same. They describe it as a seven-foot-tall blue-eyed canine-like animal with a human torso and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream. Number three is the Minnesota Wendigo. The Wendigo is a human-eater that may have been cursed for an act of cannibalism while still looking somewhat normal. It is described as being gaunt to the point of emaciation, its skin pulled tightly around its protruding bones. It’s ash-gray and gives off a disturbing odor of decay and decomposition. Number four is the Mississippi Pascagoula River Alien. The carrot-headed aliens who visited a pair of night-fishermen on the Pascagoula River in a glowing egg-shaped spaceship may just have been symptoms of the witness’s hunger. Or they might have been robots; either way, they’ve not returned, having been satisfied by the experiments they conducted on the two perfectly sober men. They are five-foot robots. Number five is the Missouri Momo. Other than leaving a three-toed footprint it would be easy to mistake this hairy foul-smelling creature for somebody’s dad. Other than disturbing picnics this creature seems harmless. Local reports describe Momo as a foul-smelling hairy monster that leaves 3 toed footprints. According to witnesses, the creature seemed to have no neck and was 6-7 feet tall. Its face was hidden in a mass of hair. Number six is the Montana Shunka Warak’in. Disclaimer: this monster is real. Whether it’s a monster or not is up for debate, but a 19th-century rancher killed and mounted the wolf-like thing which had pestered local natives for generations. Today, the owner of the stuffed creature refuses to have Shunka Warak’in ( meaning “carries off dogs”) DNA tested, so what the monster truly remains a mystery. Witnesses who got a good look at Shunka Warak’in described it as being nearly black, with high shoulders and a back that sloped downward much like a hyena. Number seven is the Nebraska Alkali Lake Monster. Though some claim this monster to be a hoax designed to sell newspapers, you can’t help but feel the hoaxers got the tone just right – no magic here, just a combination of an alligator (terrifying), a rhino (dangerous), and a stench (unsavory) rolled up into one and expanded to a 100-foot length. Whatever it is it caused a big stink. The Alkali Lake Monster is described as a giant brown alligator with a rhinoceros horn on its nose and is said to be 40-100 feet long. Number eight is the Nevada Tahoe Tessie. Tessie could be a plesiosaur. Or a gigantic eel. Legend has it that the serpent-like monster lived in a cave beneath the lake. Sightings of this 80-foot-long serpent known as Tahoe Tessie continue to this day. Number nine is the New Hamshire Wood Devils/ Wood Devils of Coos county. Although wood devils more likely to scarper at an incredible pace than to attack passing humans, locals are unnerved enough by this oversized cross between an evil spirit, a meerkat, and an alien, to have come up with a reassuring alternative: maybe it is just a sasquatch. According to eyewitness reports, these sleek wood devils are so good at blending in with their surroundings that you might walk into one before you saw it. Those who claim to have seen them describe them as more than 7 feet tall and covered in grayish hair. Number ten is the New Jersey Jersey Devil. An eighteenth-century mother, frustrated that she’d fallen pregnant yet again, cursed out loud that her unborn thirteen kid would be “the devil.” Big mistake. Although born humanlike, the little guy soon mutated into the midwife-slaughtering, cattle-bothering demon we know and love today. Upon the newly born child’s sudden transformation, it grew a goat head, hooves, bat-like wings, and a barbed tail.

To Give Your Last Twenty
He walks oddly, shuffling and nearly tripping down the hallway toward his apartment door. I slow my pace, allowing my neighbor— a stuffy ex-marine with one missing tooth and a strong odor of liquor and two weeks' worth of unwashed stench always accompanying him—to reach his door. I crinkle my nose, nearly gagging as he dawdles ahead.

A Moment in Modern York
In the bustling heart of Modern York City, where time never appears to moderate down, there existed a minor coffee shop tucked absent between towering high rises. It was an desert spring of tranquility in the midst of the chaos of the city—a put where individuals came not fair for the wealthy smell of crisply brewed coffee but moreover for a brief rest from the tenacious pace of life.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
