The Person within ME

This is me, married with kids. I'm a people person although I may not show it with my facial expression. 

I grew up in the South Pacific, in the island of Tonga. I'm not surprised at all that most people here in the States don't have the slightest idea where Tonga is located. Ah, not fair because I maybe an island girl but I had to learn about the geography of the world and that includes every countries on the face of the earth.

I live my life everyday as if it's the my last day. If you ask me why? It's a very logical answer - That way I won't have time to complain, to judge, to stay mad, to gossip, or to waste my times. I'm not saying that I have not done all of the above but it's a lesson learned. It is a daily struggle and a battle but thinking of all the treasures hidden over yonder. I cannot wait to lay sight on them and to claim what is rightfully mine if I'll be successful in this battle.

This week has been an emotional one. I heard that the man I've always known to be my dad refutes that I am his. Basically, I belong to somebody else and in no way related to him. 
Seriously! My mother was married to the man in my birth certificate at the time of my birth. Rarely, was this man ever came around because he was a sailor man. End of story. I got stuck in a marital affair with two fathers and a mother who never spoke to me about it. I was left to decide for my own and while I did that, my bf (biological father) moved and my bc (birth certificate) dad moved away and even out of the country. So I was basically raised by my b.dad and did not get to meet my bc dad until i was 28 years of age.
As of today, I have so much to do to make for the lost times with my Saviour. I have been trying to do my best to assist  my dad and with the hardship in the economy these days. I don't send him $$ as much as I want. THIS IS WHY! I don't send a lot of money, i'm not his daughter anymore. Can you believe that?
The only comfort I have is my GOD. I turn to him and HIM only because he is the best listener. These days, everybody talks and nobody listens. My God is willing to listen and assist at the best possible time. 
Never have I thought of my father doing such a thing to me and I don't hate him. I just remember that "everybody else will fail you, even your parents but not your God".

Through It All

This is my daughter, Ana. This cute picture was taken while we were on the road looking for all the Goodwill Stores in my area, yes to shop!

I watched her constantly as we drove all around town to see if she was gonna throw a fit because she's not used to going out. But one thing that I saw that day.....the peaceful look on her face, managing to sleep  through regardless of the noise from the traffic and how uncomfortable her seat was.
I learned that PEACE DOESN'T MEAN TO BE IN A PLACE WITH NO NOISE, TROUBLE, OR HARD WORK. PEACE IS BEING IN THE MIDST OF THOSE THINGS AND STILL BE CALM AND STILL IN YOUR HEART AND THOUGHT.

Small things we rarely look at and appreciate the lessons they have thought us just like the ants gathering foods in the summer storing them up for winter. And when winter comes, the ants have nothing to worry about because all is provided and cared for. I wish I can do more than I could now but in time and as times passed by, I know that I am grown to be the woman I am just by learning from all the small things in my life.

Hope that this message becomes yours to think and learn from.

Good Day to you all

Pleasure Doing Business with U!

Remember the "White and Associates Group" (an accounting firm in Cumming, Ga) I mentioned in one of my early posts here. Well, I have also picked up on another one of their devout clients. This was the "Atlas Air and Heat".
About two weeks ago, my ac unit broke down just before summer hits. This was disaster because not only that it broke down in time of needs but I also don't have a job to pay for a repair. So I spent the next two days looking for a cheaper quote but all to no avail. Until out of the blue I ran into the website www.cfos4rent.com and there I found just what I was looking for. An affordable ac repair company who's renting the accouting service of White and Associates Group. Right there, they got everything fixed and within my financial-frame. Thanks to these amazing people whom we can trust and rely on at this time of financial difficulties. So folks, do not hesitate to give them a call or visit their websites if you are in tire needs of financial assistance or heat/air service.

Little is Much!

The video above is a documentary of "poverty and hunger".....in the Philippines.

I am always struck in awe with the phrase "the more you get is the more you want." Why? Because it is so real and so happening. I may have made the choice to be satisfied with what I have but I would be lying to tell you that I still hope I have more than what I have right now. So what???It is human nature. It is human nature indeed, and this is why we have line drawn, barrier made, and wall built...so that we can stop and look around us.
This "stop" gave me the chance to look farther than my neighborhood, farther than my city, farther than my country, farther than my continent into a world full of nothing that belongs to me or to my own little world.

I learned to stretch my thoughts in order to comprehend all that is going on in the Philippines. I may never fully understand it but at least I gave it some thoughts and know that there are people out there who would appreciate and love to have what I have now. Another "stop" button just clicked on my head....."be thankful with whatever I have in my possession and whatever comes my way because I could have been one of the mothers in that video.

I dream of helping people like this just like any other good person out there. Sadly, all I can do is keeping them in my thought and prayers. Let's hope that the world will one day becomes a better place for EVERYONE.

How a "small" accounting firm can help you save and grow economically.

Not sometimes but most of the times we overlook the benefits that a small business can give us. But let me tell you this, we cannot afford to make this mistake anymore especially at this time because there are small business owners out there that can provide you with the same service a big, known company can BUT at a low price....yes, at half price.

This is where I end up after searching for such service providers.....www.cfos4rent.com, the website is designed to help and assist people like me (and you) who can no longer afford to pay for high-ends tax preparers of last year. And I can proudly tell you that I got almost 50% back on what I paid for last year.

They also can rent you a bookkeeper/controller/accountant if you need one.
