My new venture is official!

For those of you who read the last post, I hope I didn't make too big of a deal with the new venture I've taken on. I'm pretty excited about it, but I realize it won't be a big deal to everyone. I am proud to say that I am now an official Usborne Books consultant. A friend of mine from Maryland recently became a consultant and when I read that there is no monthly quota or anything like that---that I can do as much or as little as I'd like--I thought I'd go for it. I've been familiar with Usborne Books for quite a while, so I know the books are really great. It will allow me to bring in a little extra income and get fabulous books for Hope. Who can't use both of those things?? Here's my website so you can check it out. If there's anything there that interests you, just let me know. http://www.ubah.com/ecommerce/main.asp?sid=V2449&gid=49537862 I should be getting my starter kit within the next few days and then I'll be ready to set up shows: either home shows or e-shows. It's a great way to earn free books for your children, grandchildren, church, etc.

I'd love to share a picture with you. This is my friend Kim that many of you have been praying for. Kim is truly one of the most upbeat, positive, inspiring people that I know. This is round 2 of cancer for her and her attitude is just beautiful. I know she's going to beat this horrible disease. With all the prayers daily being lifted up for her and her incredible desire to live, there's no other option but to beat it and win. A couple of weeks ago a benefit called "A Celebration of Hope" was held for her. I wrote about it a few posts back. This was the picture that Kim's husband John took of the two of us. It's one of my favorites. I'm so glad she sent it to me.

Isn't Kim beautiful???
