Thanks to a post I put on Facebook something like three weeks ago, a somewhat local electrician visited the home of an older woman near here and checked her wiring, might have (probably) fixed a few things, AND checked back two days later to make sure everything was ok - all for an unbelievably low price.

MM is from Zelie and, in my opinion, is a credit to the human race - proof positive that the world we live in is not a junkpile.

From me to MM, thank you!👍👍👍👍👍

More good stuff! And I'm so glad I could remember all three things long enough to write them down!

Coming soon, an invitation for family, friends, and local professionals to collaborate on new products and services being developed SLOWLY (so far) in the incubator. If you expect a special invitation, you might get one but there might be a lot of people in front of you. If you're looking for something new in your life, this might be what you're looking for.

Observation and tip: It seems like one paycheck isn't going to do it anymore and security is out the window. Corporate layoffs can wreck your family vacation plans in a heartbeat, let alone your retirement plans. Tip: send me a DM so we can start a conversation.

Pink parachutes for women are multiple income streams you can accelerate quickly. You don't have to start at zero.

On March 24th, I signed up as a Mary Kay consultant. Again!

The photo beside my right ear is my mother and major role model. She was always at her happiest when helping others. That's what I anticipate will be my biggest joy in Mary Kay - helping women to feed their families, buy decent cars, and more.

The nice thing about it? It's not a handout. It's information about an opportunity they can embrace and do well at. If they don't have self-confidence, that can change with time if you're in the right environment and surrounded by the right TYPE of people.

My wife Jane has been a Mary Kay consultant now for five years and I've been her Mr Go-Give helper. I have an idea to pursue that doesn't fit into her business so I'll pursue it and share details later.

What do I like MOST about Mary Kay? Their overall Christian outlook and a commendable array of priorities - "God first, family second, job third". Love it!

Be well and have a great day!

As I go through the tedious business of managing posts, some of them stand out, calling for me to share them over and over again.

Be well and well blessed as 2026 unrolls itself in front of us.
