Who Has Fun During Chemo?

One of my chemo health care providers is so entertaining. She tells the other nurses to not spoil me because she's not going to nurture me the same way. I say why not? Anyway I have a birthday coming up don't you want to be nice to me? She's a hoot and playfully calls us by names that depict our characters. Just a few minutes ago she dubbed a gentleman Billie D. He happened to look like a younger Billie D. Williams. I'm the "Coffee Queen".  I respond, "thank you for blessing me with that title." She then tells other patients about my coffee. Nurse Sharon says there are many layers to me. Hmmmm do you think she was trying to say I have multiple personalities or I'm just a very interesting person? Some of you will get this.

Usually I take plenty of reading material or work on projects or make calls. Being in Sharon's section is a treat for me. She knows how to engage in conversation and make me laugh. Lord knows my best medicine is laughter right now. I tell her what I've been up to and always give her free samples of coffee whenever I'm in her section. I think she looks forward to seeing me, although she tries to play me off like I'm no big deal.  

Sharon is from Trinidad, a place I long to visit. Trinidad is referenced in my book Looking for the Promise. This is one thing I haven't shared with her yet, she has to unpeel that layer because I don't want to seem boastful.

In order to make this challenge work to my advantage I have to have fun during chemo. I usually do even when I'm there alone. It gives me an opportunity to do what I do best; talk and meet new people.
 

Getting Up from a Fall

It’s been a few years since I decided to do a women’s study for purposes of ministry. A challenge set me back from reaching this goal, but the subject has come up again and I need to finish what I’ve started. Reviewing my journal entries from that time my eyes locked on a passage I’d written about a stumble I’d had at the public library. On a Monday afternoon, September 19, 2011 with my arms and a bag loaded with books I tripped over a curb. Oh my gosh I’d had a terrible spill. My books flew everywhere and I was lying on the ground moaning for help. People started congregating to help. My concern was that all of the books were recovered and placed in my car. What the heck did I do? Professionals were on the way to aid me. All of this comes up because just recently, Friday, September 27, 2013 I was at the home of a young business associate helping her launch her business. The presentation was done, the guests were impressed to help the young lady by purchasing products and I’m walking out feeling good. She has my bag; I’m holding my purse and a few products and all of a sudden, BAM-face down in the asphalt parking lot. This time I opted out of a trip to emergency. I seemed to be okay. The ladies decided that one would drive me home in my car while the other followed. The parallel here with both falls is that as I went about trying to be a blessing to someone, I tripped and fell. I can’t even blame an enemy for this as it was my feet, my hands, my arms my thoughts that caused me to fall. But what do I learn from this. PAY ATTENTION! You will surely fall if you don’t.

 

Have Organo Gold Execs Lost Their Mind

The Organo Gold Company has not lost its mind. In a recent convention of twenty thousand people Organo Gold (OG) rolled out Phase II of their healthy coffee marketing plan. Included in this plan is the appointment of golfer, Greg Norman as Global Branding Ambassador. Mr. Norman sought out the company to add to his plethera of businesses. He has worked his way up the ranks as a Ruby Exec as of this writing.

In all of network marketing there’s never been a company with such explosive momentum, and they haven't tapped into the real momentum yet. In the city of Las Vegas where the Stand United 2013 Convention took place, OG revealed measures for continued growth in sales and marketing. The revised Coffee Connoisseur Club is guaranteed to increase product awareness. Distributors of the Organo Gold coffee can concentrate also on building a financially healthy future.

Organo Gold Ladies and guests meet to discuss the OG Business Model.
