UPDATE
The meeting/interview today was with VA Center Director about my job. Many of you know that I will lose my job as a social worker next week on Oct. 15. It's a long story, but basically I needed an upgraded license-one that says I can practice independently in MS-3 years from the day I was hired in Jackson. I am a licensed social worker and anywhere outside of the VA I could do the job I'm doing now with no problem, but the VA requires that I have my LCSW (License to practice independently). Well, I initiated the process later than I should have, thinking I'd make the deadline. I should have been able to, but then everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong. Now, here I am, three years later, with no LCSW. I have been applying for other VA jobs since the time I realized that I wasn't going to make my deadline, and I'm still waiting to hear back from ALL OF THEM! It's very frustrating. I keep wondering what went wrong. I run a HUGE program here at the VA. I'm constantly busy with my patients, who I LOVE. I do not regret that I let my 'job' get in the way of the 'obligations' associated with it. Meaning, I don't regret that I let my actual job and my care toward my patients get in the way of the time I should have spent bird-dogging this process of achieving licensure. Because if I'd have spent the time I needed to chasing the board of examiners...I'd not have been able to successfully manage my job and my caseload. I know this makes no sense, but it sure feels good to write it down.
So, I am now at the mercy of the VA. I pray that God will keep my tongue at bay (for we know what a wicked thing it can be!), my spirit gentle and open my eyes and ears and heart to hear what it is He's teaching me through this journey (other than don't procrastinate!).
I appreciate your prayers...

Stella & Dot TUESDAYS: Now about those trunk shows...
It's September and I'm gearing up to schedule some Stella & Dot Trunk Shows! Kids are officially in school and it's time to focus on MOM and what she deserves. So how much work goes into a trunk show? VERY LITTLE! Trunk shows are VERY casual, come & go style parties that usually last about 2 hours. The hostess may or may not provide appetizers and/or drinks (of whatever you prefer), depending on their preference. The setup is painless...no big presentation AT ALL! There is no sit-down speech so you're not required to have tons of seating. You simply need an area with a table (dining or coffee) where guest can gather and try on jewelry, which I will provide, along with the decor. Guests come in and try on what they want, with me there to answer questions and assist in placing orders. So what do you do? Simple. Smile and reap the hostess benefits!
If you have internet access (wifi makes it super easy) guests can order online right at your show. The jewels arrive within 2-3 days of ordering (some have even arrived overnight!). I try to keep it as casual and fun as possible which isn't hard because this is fun to me! My job is to PLAY in jewelry! What's not fun about that? And I love that I get to help my hostesses to get free and discounted jewelry! It's really a win-win situation.
SO...If you're interested in hosting a trunk show, I have the following dates available for September:
- Thursday Sept 10th
- Tuesday Sept 15th
- Thursday Sept 17th
- Tuesday Sept 22nd
- Friday Sept 25th
- Saturday Sept 26th
*If you have an alternate date, call me and we might can work something out, especially on weekends!
No time for a "at-home" trunk show? Have an E-Party! I will setup a party for you online & you will have a FULL MONTH to gather online sales toward your party! I can send you catalogs & order forms to pass around if you'd like OR customers can simply browse & order online!
I can't wait to party with you!

Aiden's Karate Demonstration
Ok, so I'm only 20 days late with these pics...Ha! Aiden had his very first Karate Demo on August 1st. He takes at the Res YMCA with Brandi & Drew's son, Brendon (one of Aiden's best buds!), and he LOVES it! He's actually sort of a Karate savant so far, from all I can tell. You should see him! His push ups are awesome and he can do jumping jacks better than me. He's learning discipline that is just so imperative at his age. He comes home so proud of himself. I think we've found a good activity that fits his personality. He's always been a little 'growny' for his age and Karate really seems to be great for him. He's not 'all over the place' like you'd expect a 4 y/o to be when asked to pay attention for an hour...he's very focused. I'm so very proud of him! We may have a black belt on our hands here in a few years!!! 
He does so good with his push ups!
Proud Mommy and Daddy!
